Date Received: 2024-01-17

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: Please remove the account XXXX from collection agency XXXX XXXX XXXX from my credit report. I sent a letter to the collection agency XX/XX/XXXX and they have failed to validate this account. Furthermore, I am on a payment plan with the original creditor XXXXXXXX XXXX, so I am confused as to why this collection agency is claiming that I owe them anything. The balance reported is not the same balance that I have with XXXXXXXX XXXX. Lastly, Equifax is the only credit bureau reporting this inaccurate information. I informed Equifax of this error in a dispute letter, and via cfpb in complaint XXXX that they were reporting inaccurate information. They failed to remove this account and they also failed to notate that this account was in a dispute on my credit report which is a violation of the FCRA. At this time, I am only asking for the removal of the account above. Should you continue in your non-compliance, the law is very clear as to the civil liability and the remedy available to me for negligent non-compliance. I am maintaining a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint seeking relief and monetary damages under FCRA Sections 616 and 617.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: Hello, Over the past year Ive been having credit issues. I had 3 Credit cards and they were all closed concurrently. I called My Bank, and my credit card companys and they told me they closed my accounts due to me not verifying my information or so. They said they sent me a letter in the mail stating that I had to verify my information but I never received that. I now have delinquent accounts on my report and it is draining my credit score.
