Consumer complaint received 2022-10-02 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
A debt that originated and closed in XXXX was re-reported to my credit by a furnisher with a false open date of XXXX and a false status of " open '' I notified Equifax by dispute and instead of investigating, Equifax allowed a false report to remain on my credit after it had more than sufficient information to verify the reporting agency XXXX XXXX XXXX was falsely reporting an open date of XXXX, when it was actually XXXX. 

I provided this same information to XXXX XXXX, who, properly investigated and removed the account because it was clear this collection agency was providing false and fraudulent information to get around the FCRA 7.5 year reporting requirement.

Equifax had an obligation under the FCRA to investigate and reinvestigate and it ignored its duties.

Under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ) -- the CRA must review and consider all relevant information submitted by the consumer. I provided the information necessary for it to confirm my dispute was accurate and this reported collection agency was illegally changing the 'open date ' to suffice FCRA reporting requirements.

I provided Equifax with a dispute regarding an out of statute account being reported with a false date of XXXX when the debt was originated and written off in XXXX. 

Equifax could easily verify this information, like XXXX XXXX did before it removed the information from my report. 

But Equifax was made aware this debt was out of statute and it ignored additional dispute information. It failed to investigate the claim. 

Equifax have caused significant damage to my credit by willfully violating federal consumer credit reporting laws. This out of statute and false report needs to be immediately removed from my credit. 

Background : XXXX XXXX XXXX obtained an out of statute debt originated in XXXX and written off in XXXX, more than seven and a half years have passed which precludes the creditor and any collection agencies from reporting it to my credit bureau. Under the FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681c -- - an account in collection can appear on a consumer 's credit report for 7 and a half years from the date of first delinquency on the account. More than 7.5 years have passed. That being said, XXXX KNOWINGLY and FALSELY reported the " open date ' of the account as XX/XX/XXXX. This is an outright lie. An intentional lie. A willful lie. An outrageously ILLEGAL lie. I disputed the fraudulent lie through XXXX and equifax. XXXX removed the false fraudulent report. Equifax ignored its duties and allowed the fraudulent illegal report to remain. 

The FCRA provides for maximum penalties of {$4300.00} **per violation** in the case of lawsuits brought by the FTC. I strongly urge the FTC to reinvestigate this already failed credit reporting agency.

Complaint narrative:
I've filed disputes with the Credit Reporting Agencies regarding the only collection on my consumer report account XXXX XXXX original creditor is XXXX XXXX. I requested the collection be investigated because the information is being reported grossly different. Experian reports that I've never made a payment on time while XXXX reports I've never missed one payment, and XXXX does not report at all. Under the FCRA all information on my consumer report is suppose to be 100 % accurate, complete and verifiable. So what I don't understand is how a thorough investigation was done when you can clearly see the inaccuracies on my consumer report. I am requesting that the account be deleted due to the inaccuracies. The burden of proof is on them not on me. 

Account XXXX XXXX original creditor XXXX XXXX Please delete account.
