On XX/XX/2025 my bank put the fraudulent check amount of {$4700.00} back in my account. But denied the claim I made to get the {$2600.00} in overdraft protection back.

Therefore, I am formally demanding that you immediately : 1. Cease all collection activities related to this alleged account 2. Delete and remove this account from all credit reporting agencies ( XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX  ) 3. Provide written confirmation that the account has been closed and will not be pursued further If this matter is not resolved within 15 days of receipt of this letter, I will proceed with filing formal complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and my State Attorney General 's Office. I will also consider pursuing legal action for violations of my consumer rights. 
This is your final notice. Govern yourself accordingly.

Complaint narrative:
Equifax is reporting XXXX separate XXXX  XXXX bankruptcies on my credit file when in fact only XXXX bankruptcy was filed. Both entries reference the same case number, but Equifax has them listed differently : XX/XX/year> Ref # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XX/XX/year> Ref # XXXX XXXX BXXXX XXXX XXXX This creates the false appearance of XXXX bankruptcies. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court only shows one filing, not two. 

XXXX from Equifax 's Office of Customer Affairs admitted to me that they verified the bankruptcy through XXXX, a third-party vendor, not the Bankruptcy Court . This is not a lawful verification under the FCRA because XXXX is not the furnisher of information. 

Additionally, Equifax is maintaining multiple name and address variations in my file. I have repeatedly provided proof of my full legal name XXXX XXXX XXXX ( via passport, state ID, and bank statements ), yet they continue to maintain XXXX XXXX and other variations. This mismatch is contributing directly to the duplicate bankruptcy reporting and other inaccuracies. 

I have also received mail from Equifax under different name variations, proving they are maintaining multiple inconsistent internal files. 

Because of these errors, I was recently denied credit by XXXX XXXX Their denial letter specifically cited Bankruptcy in the last 90 days a decision based on Equifaxs inaccurate duplicate reporting. 

Equifaxs conduct violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act : XXXX ( b ) : Failure to maintain maximum possible accuracy ( duplicate XXXX and mismatched identifiers ). 

611 ( a ) : Failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation ( outsourcing to XXXX instead of the Bankruptcy Court ).
