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 would like to file a complaint against XXXX Credit Reporting Agency. Ive contacted the company several times and have filed numerous disputes about items reporting negatively on my credit report. I even had a suffix adding to my name and spent months trying to get the matter corrected only to have my credit score to drop in place of the suffix being removed. My score dropped XXXX points because of there negatively reporting practices and not fairly investigating disputes and not requesting information properly upon consumers request. I advise the company of the error and I was denied access of my own credit report and was told that my report had fraudulent activity only to report items back on my credit files that already had been paid, and resolved. They are also reporting items over 7 years old, items paid and discharged through bankruptcy as negative items. XXXX does not investigate items being reported before placing on and individual credit report or do they investigate after a dispute is filed, I have inquiries buy the same company placed repeatedly on my file and when brought to the attention of the Agency nothing is done about it. I feel that individuals scores would not be on the downside if credit reporting agencies will do there part in reporting correct information and making sure that what they are reporting is in fact correct information and not just report information from companies just because they receive information on a individual. Either they investigate and report accurate information or not report it at all. I want my report reviewed for the information Ive stated above and recalculated or for XXXX not to report anything about myself at all. Its not fair!

Issue: Written notification about debt

Subissue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Consumer Complaint: I was the victim of identity theft, and as a result, I promptly reported the fraudulent account to all relevant authorities and took immediate steps to rectify the situation. I have successfully communicated with XXXX and XXXX to dispute and have the fraudulent account removed from their reports, following the required procedures. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX PLEASE DELETE!!! XXXX and XXXX have already removed this account from their records. I am perplexed as to why Equifax has not complied with the law and continues to report this fraudulent account despite the deletion by other bureaus. It is clear from their actions that they have determined the fraudulent nature of the account and have taken the appropriate steps to delete it from my credit report. I urge Equifax to follow suit and promptly remove the fraudulent account from my credit report. I believe that the continued reporting of this account is a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and I expect Equifax to rectify this situation promptly.
