Complaint narrative:
Equifax refuses to remove inaccurate names, addresses, and employment from my credit report which is a violation of 15 USC 1681 despite being sent proof of the correct information along with proof. Correct name and address is attached. XXXX refuses to remove inaccurate accounts which is a violation of 15 USC 1681. XXXX is reporting an account from XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX which is inaccurate. These two accounts are the same account as well. One being the original account and one being a third party collection. This is a violation of FCRA 15 USC 1681 and 15 USC 1692. Also pursuant to 15 USC 1681 ( 2 ) ( a ) ( i ) when a debt is charged off it means the creditor wrote it off on their taxes and received a profit. It is illegal for XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX for to have done so because they never sent me a 1099c for the income they received like they are supposed to according the IRS yet Equifax refuses to report this ILLEGAL and INACCURTATE account on my credit report. Equifax violated 15 USC 1681i because they never sent any proof of validation or the results from the investigation in which they were supposed to do. This section of the FCRA requires that credit bureaus conduct a reasonable investigation into disputed information. As these accounts are inaccurate and unverifiable, I request that it be removed from my credit report immediately. If the furnisher can not provide verification within 30 days, it must be deleted FCRA 605 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ) **. Equifax is also reporting late payments on a closed account from XXXX XXXX  although it is also reporting as paid on time. The late payment is inaccurate and a violation of my privacy under 15 USC 1681 section 602. I demand this late payment be updated from my report immediately. According to this section, negative information accounts must be removed from a credit report. Unverifiable Debt : If the credit reporting agency can not provide valid documentation and proof of this debt as required by **FCRA 623 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ) **, it must be removed from my credit report. Creditors and collectors are legally obligated to report accurate information, and failure to verify the account should result in its deletion. As explained, Equifax is violation of several USC codes and if this inaccurate report is not removed from my credit report immediately I will begin legal action against Equifax. Also, reporting an account with past due balances violates 15 US 1681e ( b ). Also, these so called debts they are reporting was obtained during the XXXX pandemic ( see attached ). All payments acquired during that time are to be forgiven pursuant to 15 USC 1681 ( s ) -2 subsection 1F. They are also in violation of 15 USC 1681 ( 4 ) and 15 USC 1681 ( a ). As the accounts are inaccurate and unverifiable, I request that it be removed from my credit report immediately. If the furnisher can not provide verification within 30 days, it must be deleted FCRA 605 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ) ** : According to this section, negative information accounts must be removed from a credit report. Unverifiable Debt : If the credit reporting agency can not provide valid documentation and proof of this debt as required by **FCRA 623 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ) **, it must be removed from my credit report. Creditors and collectors are legally obligated to report accurate information, and failure to verify the account should result in its deletion.
