Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX XX/XX/year> Equifax Information Services LLC, XXXX. XXXX XXXX, XXXX, GA XXXX RE : DEMAND FOR DELETION OF XXXX XXXX XXXX ACCOUNT Account name : XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Account number : XXXX To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to put you on notice regarding a blatant inconsistency in my consumer credit reports that Equifax is legally obligated to correct immediately. 

XXXX has already deleted the XXXX XXXX XXXX account from my credit file. 

A screenshot of my XXXX credit report showing the XXXX XXXX XXXX account is no longer present. 

This deletion was the result of a formal dispute I filed concerning the accuracy and validity of the account. Following their investigation, XXXX rightfully removed the account. As such, your continued reporting of this account is not only inaccurate, it is a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

FCRA 607 ( b ) Maximum Accuracy Under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ), Equifax is required to follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information you report. If one national credit reporting agency ( XXXX ) has removed a tradeline after investigation, and another ( Equifax ) continues to report it, it can not be argued that your reporting is accurate or reasonable. 

FCRA 611 Dispute Procedures Pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ), if disputed information is found to be inaccurate or can not be verified, the CRA must delete it. TransUnion determined the account did not meet the standards for continued reporting. Therefore, Equifax can not reasonably justify its inclusion in your report. 

FCRA 602 Congressional Findings Congress has made it clear in 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) that inaccurate credit reporting directly impairs the efficiency of the banking system and that consumer reporting agencies have a grave responsibility to ensure fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumer 's right to privacy. 

You are now officially on notice that the continued reporting of the XXXX XXXX XXXX account on my Equifax credit report is false, misleading, and damaging. I am demanding the immediate deletion of this account from my Equifax file to ensure consistency, accuracy, and compliance with the FCRA. 

I expect written confirmation of the deletion within 15 days of the date of this letter. No further delay will be tolerated. 

If Equifax fails to delete this account within the legally mandated time frame or continues to report this item inaccurately, I will not hesitate to pursue formal complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and, if necessary, file a civil lawsuit under FCRA for damages related to willful or negligent noncompliance. 

This is your final opportunity to resolve this matter voluntarily and in good faith. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company response to consumer: Closed with non-monetary relief
