Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
The conspicuous lack of concrete evidence substantiating its reliability, coupled with the circulation of unverified information, constitutes a flagrant violation of the statutory provisions outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). Such regulatory non-compliance is not merely disconcerting but also vexing, considering the paramount importance of adherence to legal mandates. Consequently, I emphatically endorse the prompt deletion of this account in alignment with the stipulated regulations, unless credible evidence is promptly furnished to affirm its authenticity. The failure to promptly rectify this matter further compounds the exasperation stemming from the disregard for legal protocols.

Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: MT

Complaint narrative:
I just got off the phone with XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I owe money for to hardships with my wife 's XXXX and XXXX XXXX 

The woman on the phone gave me an buyout offer that was ridiculous. I said no. She then said if I did not accept the offer it would be sent to lawyers for legal action. I told her threatening legal action in collection of debt was illegal. 

She denied the threat after I told her I knew the law. Saying if you don't do this, this will happen is a threat. Is illegal intimidation. 

I also informed her that I am a XXXXXXXX XXXX with no income that can be garnished or seized. Before she threatened me. 

The companies website also makes you sign away rights to see your information. 

This is a shady predatory company with no oversight. You need to step in. Not everyone knows that that's of legal action to collect are illegal. Either you sue or you don't.
