XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  : Account opened XX/XX/XXXX, closed, charged off with {$11000.00} written off. 

Reports indicate multiple months of severe delinquency ( including 180+ days late ) up through XX/XX/XXXX. 

My dispute and consumer statement ( ITEM IN DISPUTE BY CONSUMER ) are on file, yet the account remains in negative status without updated investigation results. 

They have continued to furnish this negative information in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 623 ( a ) ( 3 ), which requires disputed information to be corrected or deleted if found inaccurate or unverifiable.

They have also ignored my written cease-and-desist under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) 805 ( c ). 

Mariner Finance : Account opened XX/XX/XXXX, closed, charged off with {$2100.00} written off, currently showing {$3700.00} past due as of XX/XX/XXXX. 

Payment history continues to reflect CO ( Charge-off ) every month for years after closure, which is misleading and inaccurate reporting under FCRA. 

I disputed this account, yet the furnisher has not provided proper validation or corrected inaccurate reporting. 

Their continued reporting constitutes re-aging of debt, prohibited under FCRA 605 ( a ) and 623 ( a ) ( 5 ).

Violations Claimed : FCRA 623 Failure to investigate and correct disputed information.

FCRA 605 ( a ) Potential re-aging of account to extend negative reporting beyond legal limits.

Complaint narrative:
" I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about!

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because the consumer reporting agency failed to meet its obligations under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires the agency to provide, upon request, a detailed description of the reinvestigation procedures used to verify disputed information. I specifically requested the name and contact information of the furnisher, the identity of the person the agency communicated with, and the documentation used to confirm the accuracy of the disputed account. The agency did not provide this information within the 15-day timeframe required by law. This lack of response is a clear violation of my rights under the FCRA.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report.

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.
