Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Consumer Complaint: I received my Equifax credit report on XX/XX/2024 and I noticed some accounts on my credit report are in fact inaccurate and incomplete. Which is a clear violation of USC 1681e ( b ) They also violated 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) % ( b ), 15 USC 168i ( 5 ) ( A ) ( i ) & ( ii ). I believe honestly that they are doing this on PURPOSE. According to 15 USC 1681e ( b ) Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. They must be blind because XXXX XXXX can see that everything is inconsistent. How can One data furnisher or one source of information. That's coming from ONLY one business, report 3 different information. I have attached supporting documentations to support my complaint.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: XXXX Bank is reporting a debt as open. I requested a letter of validation for this account because I don't believe this to be mine and I never received one and I also reported thar this account is reporting inaccurate information and by law this account must be removed for failing to report accurate information on my report. I disputed this and requested it's removal which is my right by law. Equfax did not remove it and changed it from open to charged off. And they took XXXX points off my credit report.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2023, XXXX XXXX XXXX put my XXXX XXXX account into collections. They put it into collections because XXXX XXXX was in a company corporate name that wasn't personally guaranteed. This account never belonged on my credit in the first place. They took my consumer information and placed it on my credit report and that's not what should have happened. 16 CFR 313.7 15 usc 6802 Per the FCRA as a federally protected consumer I am now opting out of any and all authorizations I the consumer may have given you written, unwritten, verbally and non verbally per 15 USC 6802 it is effective immediately andindefinitely. Since the debt is now with a third-party collection agency, it has already been charged off. As outlined in Tax Topic 431, this represents a certificate of indebtedness, which is categorized as income. It's important to note that income is not reportable on my credit report. " If your debt is forgiven or discharged for less than the full amount owed, the debt is considered canceled for the forgiven or discharged amount that you no longer need to pay. Cancellation of a debt may occur if the creditor can't collect, or gives up on collecting, the amount you're obligated to pay. If you own property securing a debt, cancellation of the debt may occur due to foreclosure, repossession, voluntary transfer of the property to the lender, abandonment of the property, or a mortgage modification.
