Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing in response to the recent statements I have received from your agency regarding a debt allegedly owed to XXXX. I am disputing the validity of this debt and request that you cease all communication with me in accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692c ( c ).

Firstly, I would like to bring to your attention the case of Pacific Concrete FCU v. Kauanoe, 62 Haw 334, in which it was determined that mere statements are not sufficient evidence of a debt. Therefore, I am requesting that you refrain from sending any further statements as they do not provide adequate validation of the alleged debt.

Furthermore, I would like to clarify that a cease and desist letter not only prohibits further communication, but it also implies the removal of any mention of this debt from my consumer report. As defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681a, communication includes the reporting of information to consumer reporting agencies. Therefore, I expect that upon receipt of this letter, any negative information related to this alleged debt will be promptly deleted from my consumer report. 

In the event that your agency fails to comply with my request and continues to harass and abuse me through improper communication, I want to make it clear that I am prepared to take legal action to protect my rights. Pursuant to the FDCPA, I may be entitled to actual damages, statutory damages, and attorney 's fees. Enclosed is an itemized list detailing the potential costs involved in pursuing litigation for harassment and abuse.

1. Actual Damages : - Cost of legal representation : $ ________ - Loss of productivity and time : $ ________ - Emotional distress and inconvenience : $ ________ 2. Statutory Damages : - Per violation of the FDCPA : {$1000.00} 3. Attorney 's Fees : - Cost of attorney 's services for litigation : $ ________ Please be advised that this letter is not an admission of any liability on my part regarding the alleged debt. However, I expect your agency to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including the FDCPA and FCRA. 

I kindly request that you acknowledge receipt of this letter within 30 days and confirm in writing that all communication related to this alleged debt has ceased, and any negative information has been deleted from my consumer report. 

Failure to comply with this request may result in further legal action being pursued against your agency. I trust that we can resolve this matter amicably and avoid any unnecessary escalation. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have contacted this company multiple times about this issue. I have submitted documentation supporting that the XXXX XXXX ACCOUNT should be removed from my credit report. This company claims they did an investigation verifying the debt which does not satisfy the requirements of FCRA and FDCPA. I asked that they VALIDATE the debt and provide evidence to me of how they VALIDATED the debt. This company has failed to follow federal laws that protect my consumer rights. 

Furthermore, according to the Cares Act " No Person may furnish any adverse item of information relating to a consumer that was the result of any action or inaction that occurred during a covered period. In addition to the information described in section 605 ( a ), NO CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCY MAY MAKE ANY CONSUMER REPORT CONTAINING AN ADVERSE ITEM OF INFORMATION RELATING TO A CONSUMER THAT WAS THE RESULT OF ANY ACTION OR INACTION THAT OCCURRED DURING A COVERED PERIOD ''. 

This company continues to violate my consumer rights per FCRA, FDCPA as well as the CARES ACT. They should be held liable for damages to me as well as failing to uphold fairness and accuracy in reporting information. 

I have a right to decide what is disclosed on my credit report and Congress agrees that this adverse item should be removed. COVID was from XX/XX/XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX. This account was opened and started reporting XX/XX/XXXX. This account was reported under a covered period in direct violation of the CARES ACT.

Complaint narrative:
I was informed that my account was verified and accurate after my initial dispute months ago. I reviewed my credit report on XX/XX/XXXX. Even though I requested deletion from Credit Reporting Agencies, my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), codified as 15 U.S.C. 1681 in my opinion was not a reasonable investigation. Specifically, the agencies and companies have reported outdated and inaccurate information on my credit report without my written consent, which violates my federally protected consumer rights in 1681e section b. Violation of Privacy Rights : Under the FCRA, consumer reporting agencies must ensure the accuracy, fairness, and privacy of consumer information. According to 15 U.S.C. 1681b, a consumer reporting agency can not furnish a consumer report without the consumers written consent unless it is for a permissible purpose as defined by the Act. The outdated information reported on my credit report was furnished without my explicit written consent, violating my right to privacy and the confidentiality of my personal information. Violation of Consumer Rights : As stipulated in 15 U.S.C. 1681c. Specifically, outdated information like personal information from 2011 is beyond the permissible reporting period and should not be included in consumer reports. The account in question is old and should not be reported. The following entities, including the major credit reporting agenciesExperian, XXXX, and XXXX the specific companies listed on my credit report, have played roles in the inaccuracies I am disputing personal information, late payments, closed accounts, collections from XXXX to XXXX.

Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
As with your prior responses, your information is incomplete and inadequate to explain the full picture. While I appreciate the additional information in the table that begins to scratch the surface of an explanation, it leaves out my several attempts to gain information from XXXX prior to the account being transferred thus leaving me in the dark. Do you and XXXX not have an obligation to fully answer my questions in a timely manner? This was not and still has not been satisfied and thus affirms a requirement of waiving of any and all associated late fees until this is resolved. 
Your table also fails to show the escrow balance having been fully paid by me nor does the response show the account to which any escrow refund checks were cashed ( which was requested prior several instances ). Aside from the lack of refunds, a full breakdown from 2021 to today that shows escrow transactions, NOTES, and the double-payments made as a result of XXXX refusal to process the payments has not been provided. 
Again and to be absolutely as clear as I can be : the late fees and issues arising on this account are a direct result of the lack of support provided ( initially by XXXX and today by you ). 
Your latest response also included a repeat of the letter sent back in XXXX showing that {$1000.00} was required to bring the account current in that month yet letters have claimed that the account is exactly 1 month past due ; which is it? Its unfortunate that your ( XXXX ) refusal to simply address my concerns at the outset has gotten us into this situation but hopefully at some point you will take some ownership and help to get us back on the right track. As you can see ( and as I can show ), I have exemplary payment history and ALL of my bills are paid in full and on time. Of the more than XXXX revolving personal monthly accounts that I have, yours is the only XXXX with continued discrepancy.
