The List of accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX below has violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681. I told XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax to reinvestigate these accounts : Account name : # XXXX, Account name : # XXXX, Account name : # XXXX, Account name : # XXXX. However, they stated everything was complete and accurate. But how is that possible if the open date, date of last activity and much more is incorrect. According to 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ), they are supposed to modify accounts that aren't reporting correctly. 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX back in XX/XX/XXXX. They are saying that at the time I owed a bill to XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$4000.00} dated XXXX. XXXX said they didnt have this bill. XXXX they are reporting a total of 14 bills on my XXXX and Equifax now I am sure there are more credit reporting agencies that they are putting these fake bills on. All of these bills are fake. They put doubled the fake dates and the amounts. All of these bills are not legal. XXXX XXXX XXXX is putting these bills on my credit report when not one of these bills is legitimate. I have tried 3 times in the last 3 months to get these bills off of my XXXX and Equifax. I keep getting letters from Equifax saying the one bill was legit. These bills are not part of any lawsuit. These bills are past the statute of limitations of Wisconsin which is 6 years. Most of these bills are dated from XXXX and 1 bill from XXXX. If this company is doing this to me. How many other victims are out there that they are doing this to? They are trying to collect money that doesnt exist to anyone. They are trying to steal money from the American people. The sad thing about this if the Wisconsin department XXXX XXXX XXXX would had done there job they would have had there license taken from them and would not be doing this to me.

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: I have reached out to the following accounts below and talked to them about the issue with my account as reported by the EQUIFAX. They have advised me that they will remove the late status on my accounts and will correct the credit report accordingly and accurately, also the fraudulent account will be deleted, however, as I reviewed my recent report, the late status are still reporting. I am not sure how the EQUIFAX came up with this remark. They have failed to investigate properly. Also, the comments do not conform to the payment history that is being shown in my report. I have included in this complaint FTC report with the report number XXXX for your reference.
