Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: I am writing to bring to your attention a serious matter concerning the inaccurate reporting of charge offs and the unauthorized furnishing of my personal information by XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX on my credit reports. I believe that their actions are in violation of my rights as outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically under sections 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ), 15 USC 1681a ( 2 ) ( b ), and 15 USC 1666b. I would like to address the issue of inaccurate charge offs being reported by XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX. Upon reviewing my credit reports, I have noticed discrepancies in the dates of opening and closing of these accounts. These inaccuracies not only misrepresent my credit history but also have a significant impact on my overall creditworthiness. I believe that this violates my rights under the FCRA, specifically under section 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ), which mandates that consumer reporting agencies must investigate and correct inaccurate information upon receiving a dispute which has not been done for years of disputes. I have reason to believe that XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX have been reporting this information without my written consent, as required by section 15 USC 1681a ( 2 ) ( b ) of the FCRA. I have never provided explicit authorization for the furnishing of my personal information to these agencies and their actions are in direct violation of my rights. According to section 15 USC 1666b of the FCRA, any person who willfully fails to comply with any requirement imposed by the FCRA may be subject to civil liability, including actual damages, punitive damages, and attorney 's fees. I kindly request that you investigate this matter thoroughly and hold XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX accountable for their actions. The violations mentioned above, I kindly request that you take the necessary steps to remove these inaccurate charge offs from my credit reports. I expect that appropriate fines and penalties be imposed upon XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX for their non-compliance with the FCRA. I look forward to receiving a prompt response and resolution to this dispute. Accounts XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX {$970.00} Reporting inaccurately- Please Delete XXXX XXXX Reporting inaccurately no acknowledgment of this account- Please Delete XXXX XXXX- Reporting inaccurately- Please delete XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Reporting inaccurately {$0.00} ( Sold ) still reporting with inaccurate reporting dates and closing date. Please delete XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Reporting inaccurately XXXX XXXX Reporting inaccurately XXXX XXXX XXXX {$200.00} Reporting inaccurately
