Consumer Complaint: 15 USC 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, XXXX XXXX Equifax is reporting this information. The reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15 USC 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, lets 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, XXXX, Equifax and the creditors reporting collections/Charge-Offs, late payments/other derogatory information in my consumer report 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 Original Information Overview with the Internal Revenue Service against ALL entities involved.

Consumer Complaint: I am the author of this complaint and I have attached a copy of my ID and SSC card to validate and verify my identity. I am writing to submit a formal complaint against XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) in connection with inaccurate information on my credit reports. I believe these inaccuracies are negatively affecting my creditworthiness and financial standing. The inaccurate information pertains to the following account : Account : XXXX I have submitted dispute letters to all three credit reporting agencies, detailing the inaccuracies and requesting correction. However, to date, I have not received a satisfactory resolution. I am seeking the intervention of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to address these violations. I believe the credit reporting agencies have violated the FCRA by reporting inaccurate information and failing to conduct a reasonable investigation. This has caused significant harm to my credit standing, affecting my ability to secure favorable terms on credit and loans. I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax comply with the FCRA. I am also requesting that you provide me with updates on the progress of your investigation. Enclosed with this letter are copies of the dispute letters sent to XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax, along with any supporting documentation. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and thank you for your assistance.
