Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the persistence of inaccurate information on my credit report, specifically an incorrect address and an erroneous collection account.

Despite multiple attempts to rectify this matter, the credit reporting agency has failed to remove the inaccurate information. Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Section 611, I am entitled to have inaccurate information promptly corrected or removed from my credit report. 

The incorrect address listed on my credit report is : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, AZ XXXX I have made diligent efforts to contact the credit reporting agency via mail to rectify this situation. However, these attempts have gone unanswered, and the incorrect address persists on my credit report. 

Additionally, I have reported an erroneous collection account by the name of XXXX XXXX XXXX, and despite my multiple attempts to have this removed, it remains on my credit report. I have records of these disputes and the requests I have made. 

I request the immediate removal of the inaccurate address and the collection account named XXXX XXXX XXXX from my credit report, in compliance with the FCRA provisions. 

Enclosed with this letter, please find copies of all relevant documentation supporting my claim, including proof of my correct address.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I write to you with an increasing sense of frustration and disbelief regarding the fraudulent accounts poisoning my credit report. It has become abundantly clear that your organization is either woefully incompetent or deliberately indifferent to the damage this is causing to my financial well-being. I was the victim & Im not sure why the CRA is not complying with the law. The other bureaus have followed suit. Im very confused why this one seems to ignore my requests This is my final request for an immediate and aggressive resolution to this matter. I demand, without room for negotiation, the aggressive removal of these fraudulent accounts from my credit report. The time for excuses and delays is over. 

XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  and TU have already removed this account from their records. There was an error present & they were able to find it. I'm confused about how you've verified it while the other bureaus have removed it. Please delete this from my file. It is inaccurate, erroneous, incomplete, or unverifiable. 

This is not a mere request ; it is a final demand for the rectification of a gross violation of my rights as a consumer. The incompetence or indifference displayed thus far is inexcusable. 

Failure to comply with this final demand will leave me with no alternative but to pursue legal action, report your negligence to regulatory authorities, and utilize every available means to expose your organization 's failure to protect consumers. 

I expect written confirmation of the aggressive removal of these fraudulent accounts within 7 days from the date of this letter. Any further delay will be considered a direct affront to my rights and will be dealt with accordingly. Consider this letter your last chance to salvage what is left of your organization 's credibility in my eyes.
