Complaint ID: 8140193

Date Received: 2024-01-10

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

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.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: My consumer rights are being violated with this inaccurate information! I have a right to be treated fairly by those who control it, so please provide me all available details on how they came up short in their responsibilities towards accuracy and compliance.I am officially challenging you to review your data on file for me! With the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) section 611 ( 15 U S C 1681I ) and Metro 2 compliance standards, I challenge all inaccuracies or deficiencies of reporting.The credit report I received was not accurate, which surprises me because you should be adhering to the FCRA and applicable Metro 2 data field formatting standards.OK, so here 's my challenge for you : Make a document that shows all of the evidence and sends it to me. It should be verified, complete with sources! The XXXX XXXXXXXX states that any deviation from these standards jeopardizes the integrity of data. This is a serious issue! The integrity of your data could be compromised if these standards aren't followed.The report you sent me is not accurate. Are you sure that all of the information is accurate and properly formatted? The below-noted claims are disputed and have not been confirmed as facts.Please take care of any false accounts on my credit report. I am requesting that you fix this issue as soon as possible because it will affect me financially in the future if left unchecked! I can't live with anything less than 100 % accuracy on my credit report. I want only factually accurate, verified and compliant data documented in it!
