Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly
Consumer Complaint: I am aware that despite customers providing precise information, you have been using pre-written standard form letters in responses to numerous disputes, complaints, and challenges. I understand that this is illegal, as each customer complaint should be individually considered and handled appropriately. My letters are created using accessible software available to everyone. If you choose not to process my letters, you are violating 15 U.S. Code 5 1681i. It is against the law to delay processing based on the assumption of third-party assistance. This does not qualify as a legal exception. I am the sole author of letters bearing my name, or they are written by my advisors with my knowledge and consent. Failure to respond promptly will be seen as a willful disregard for my rights, and legal action will be taken. According to FCRA Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( l ) ) and Metro 2 data field reporting standards, I have the right to dispute incorrect information on my credit report. It is essential that all data in a consumer 's file is properly documented and validated. The allegations against me are false, and I won't tolerate misinformation about my financial history. I challenge these claims due to their failure to comply with reporting standards. It is your responsibility to report data accurately and in compliance with FCRA and METRO 2 standards. Handle this matter with care and diligence.

Consumer Complaint: 15USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) clearly states that transactions between the consumer and the Person/Corporation making the report is NOT included on the consumer reports. Yet XXXX is reporting this information.. The reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) on a consumer report is a clear violation of Metro2 compliance. Provide me with the Metro2 compliance disclosure on reporting transactions to a consumer reporting agency. I need the transactions reporting as late, collection/charge-off status and any other derogatory information deleted from my consumer reports effective immediately. Before you think to reply that this account has been " validated ', let 's be clear that I am not asking you to validate or verify anything. So please do not respond by telling me that as a tactic to waste my valuable time. Some of the negative accounts have been placed in Collection/Charge-Off Status WITHOUT mailing me a copy of IRS form 1099-C Cancellation of Debt. XXXX and the creditors reporting collections/Charge-Offs, late payments/other derogatory information in my consumer reports are in violation of 26 USC ss 6050P Returns Relating to the Cancellation of Indebtedness By Certain Entities. If this derogatory account information is not deleted from my consumer reports within 30 days, I will be forced to officially file IRS form 3949A : Information Referral AND IRS form 211 : Application For Award For Original Information Overview with the Internal Revenue Service against ALL entities involved.

Consumer Complaint: Equifax opened a XXXX day investigation for fraudulent inquiries listed on my credit report and closed the investigation within XXXX days with no investigation results, or any information in terms of finding and what they did. I previously submitted a complaint through the CFPB and how this company is violating Federal Law and overlooking what is supposed to be done as they are not over-standing their part in the authority over the law and not follow FCRA guidelines to which they are repeatedly turning a blind eye to what their supposed to uphold which is factual credit reports and integrity. This bureau over the past year has caused me insane amounts of mental anguish in which I have fell into a XXXX where I want to pursue litigation and file a claim in federal court against this credit bureau. I have countless disputes dating back XXXX months on how I have requested countless information sent Identity theft reports in which this bureau does not investigate or send results of their findings. This fraudulent bureau doesn't even open investigations and I will attach it to this complaint of how this bureau actually does their job which is a direct violation of what this company portrays themselves to stand for.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem
Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Consumer Complaint: In XX/XX/XXXX, we leased a new XXXX from XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, Florida. As part of that lease, we traded-in another leased vehicle that was leased through XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ), from XXXX, New York XXXX XXXX erroneously reported our last lease payment ( from XX/XX/XXXX? ) on the old vehicle as late. After failed ( denied ) attempts to dispute this information with all 3 major credit reporting agencies on XX/XX/XXXX, we submitted, via US certified mail, a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, for XXXX to investigate their reporting of the late payment. This reporting caused our otherwise excellent credit scores to drop nearly XXXX points directly as a result. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an e-mail from XXXX indicating their investigation, reference # XXXX, " determined an amendment to the information being furnished is warranted. We have requested the agencies update your credit profile to remove the negative reporting for XX/XX/XXXX. '' and then they stated " Please be aware that although we have submitted this update electronically, the agencies may take thirty ( 30 ) to sixty ( 60 ) days to reflect the amendment on your profile. '' I replied to their e-mail on XX/XX/XXXX stating that it had been more than 60 days and the negative information is still being reported to all 3 credit agencies. Their automated system replied that I would hear back in 10 days or less. Today is the XXXX day and I've heard nothing. I've sent them another e-mail today however I can not wait any longer as it's been nearly XXXX days since my initial reporting to them and nearly XXXX months since this whole issue began to fix their error. I am attaching the e-mail chain with XXXX and a screenshot from my Equifax credit report ran today, XX/XX/XXXX, that still shows the delinquency AFTER the account was closed!
