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

Consumer Complaint: I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: I have reached out numerous of times to Equifax, due to an inaccurate account reporting on my consumer report which is listed below. I requested that they re-investigate and they have failed to verify this account and did not provide me documents to prove this account belongs to me. I do not recall this account at all and it has been reporting on my consumer report since XX/XX/XXXX. For my understanding, 15 U.S.C. sec 1681i ( a ), you must complete this re-investigation within the receipt of the original request, and if it is not done, the information should be deleted immediately. Well this was not done and Equifax did not comply, so I am asking for you to assist me in this matter. Account Name : Not listed on my consumer report ( charter communications after research ) Charged off closed on XX/XX/XXXX Account Number : XXXX Amount of {$790.00}
