Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request your assistance in resolving inaccuracies reported by Equifax credit reporting agency on my credit reports. Despite my efforts to address these issues directly with the agencies, the discrepancies remain unresolved. 
The inaccuracies include : 1. Discrepancies on late payments : There are several instances where late payments are incorrectly reported. These errors are affecting my credit score and financial standing. 
2. Incorrect information on original creditors : Some accounts list incorrect information regarding the original creditors, which is misleading and inaccurate. 
3. Impossible information : Certain information reported on my credit reports is impossible to be correct, such as dates and amounts that do not align with my records. 
4. XXXX balances and duplicate reporting : Some accounts are reported with XXXX balances and are duplicated as both a collection and a charge-off, which is misleading and negatively impacts my credit score. 
5. Discrepancies in past due amount and balance : The past due amount and balance reported for some accounts are inconsistent and do not match my records. 
For example, on my Equifax report : Account Name : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Late Payments : XXXX Balance Details : XXXX XXXX paid off Balance : {$8200.00} Balance Updated : XX/XX/2024 Original Balance : {$30000.00} Past Due Amount : {$4400.00} Additionally, the payment summary for this account shows inaccurate information. It indicates that the account was XXXX  days late in XXXX, which is impossible when I was on time with my payment in XXXX of the same year. Here is the payment summary : I have reached out to Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX  to notify them of these inaccuracies and requested corrections. However, my attempts have not resulted in any meaningful resolution. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to dispute incomplete or inaccurate information in my credit report. Specifically : Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) : This section requires consumer reporting agencies to investigate disputes and correct or delete any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable within XXXX  days. 
Section 623 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ) : This section mandates that furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies must not report information that they know or have reasonable cause to believe is inaccurate. They are also required to correct and update information. 
Section 605 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ) : This section outlines the types of information that can not be included in consumer reports, such as outdated information. 
Section 1666b ( 15 U.S.C. 1666b ) : This section specifies that a creditor may not treat a payment as late unless the periodic statement was mailed or delivered to the consumer at least XXXX  days before the payment due date. 

I kindly request the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to investigate these matters and assist in ensuring that my credit reports accurately reflect my credit history. The continued presence of these inaccuracies is causing significant distress and financial hardship. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt assistance.
