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 am writing to formally complain about the persistent issues I have encountered while attempting to dispute and correct the late open accounts and also the removal of late closed and charge off on my credit report. I have made numerous attempts to rectify these discrepancies, but unfortunately, the inaccuracies persist across different credit bureaus. Despite my repeated efforts to address these issues through the dispute process, I have not seen any significant improvement in the accuracy of my credit report. I believe that the continuous reporting of these inaccuracies is adversely affecting my credit score and financial standing. I kindly request a thorough investigation into the discrepancies mentioned above and the immediate correction of the inaccuracies on my credit report. I have attached supporting documentation, including proof of timely payments, account closure, and any relevant correspondence with creditors. Furthermore, I request the removal of late closed accounts, and charge-offs that have been inaccurately reported on my credit file. It is imperative that my credit report accurately reflects my financial history and responsibility. I understand that credit reporting agencies play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of individuals ' credit profiles. Therefore, I trust that you will handle this matter with the utmost urgency and diligence. Please provide me with a written response detailing the results of your investigation, the actions taken to correct the inaccuracies, and the updated version of my credit report. Additionally, I request that you inform me of any further steps I need to take to ensure the prompt resolution of this matter. I am asking for your assistance to correct these late open accounts and remove the late closed and charge off in my credit file 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 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 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 XXXX XXXX XXXX I requested an investigation and the removal of the charge-off status.

Issue: Written notification about debt

Subissue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Consumer Complaint: Despite my repeated attempts to dispute and rectify the situation, the fraudulent accounts remain, and I have not received any conclusive information from your investigations. It has been well over 60 days since the commencement of the investigation, and to my dismay, I have not received any updates or resolution regarding these fraudulent entries. XXXX XXXX XXXX - FRAUD, PLEASE DELETE!!! Furthermore, I insist that the credit bureau refrains from reporting these fraudulent accounts until they can be accurately verified. It is imperative that inaccurate and potentially damaging information is not disseminated, especially when the bureau is unable to substantiate the validity of the items in question.

Issue: Written notification about debt

Subissue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Consumer Complaint: I have followed all the necessary procedures for disputing these accounts and have exhausted all avenues of resolution. I have contacted the bank, law enforcement agencies, and credit reporting agencies. XXXX and XXXX have removed the accounts per legal requirement, but for some strange reason, Equifax feels that I am not following all the steps. This is the sixth complaint I have filed against them, and every time I get the same ridiculous response. They make absurd claims that the documents I have submitted are not valid. I am at my wit 's end after submitting my claim with Equifax for over six months. I know that consumer laws and the courts are very lenient with the banks and credit reporting agencies, so filing a lawsuit is a waste of energy. However, I demand that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) look closely at this case because it seems like Equifax is failing to meet their legal requirement to process the identity theft report. I have filed it with a law enforcement agency, and IdentityTheft.gov is a federal law enforcement agency. I want to see this matter handled properly. Account : XXXX - XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Open Date : XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Balance : {$15000.00}. All this grief from identity theft and not having any access to my credit is creating a ton of emotional and physical distress. It is causing a great deal of strain in my work and personal lives. I am losing my mind because I have no other recourse.
