Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
This dispute is in response to CFPB Complaint Number : XXXX, that was prematurely closed. Instead of addressing my concerns from the original complaint, the company attempted to sell me on the idea that the information that they provided via mail addressed the concerns from this complaint. However, this is grossly inaccurate. While they did address a few concerns, in regards to removing a FEW of the inaccurate previous addresses listed on my report, Equifax failed to validate the late payments and failed to even refute the evidence that I provided within this CFPB Complaint, XXXX, illuminating the errors on their end. The information is inaccurate and I am still awaiting them to delete the remaining addresses that do not conform to the address on my Driver 's license, and more importantly the DELETE the negative accounts from my credit report. In addition to compliance with this dispute, I would like {$1000.00} compensation for a multitude of FCRA violations for each issue listed below. Please note that if the issues are not addressed and completed to my satisfaction, I intend to sue under FCRA violations.

C ) The high balance listed for this account is {$380000.00}, which is 10,000 % higher than the true balance.

As I'm sure you're aware, the negative reporting in conjunction with the reported high balance causes significant damage to my report. Again, stop guessing, and delete this account from my consumer report. 

12 ) Apart from my dispute, you were told to remove all hard inquiries from my account that did not contain my signature. You completely glossed over this request, despite me indicating to you that fraud protection and account suppression needed to be added to my account. Please take this time to remove them all from my consumer report. 

13 ) Addresses reported : You still have several addresses listed on my report. Delete them all, except for the one I provided to you in my original dispute. Enough shenanigans. Fix this crud for once and for all.
