Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal online complaint against XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax regarding inaccurate credit reporting. I previously submitted a written complaint on XXXX XXXX XXXX through mail but have yet to receive any response. I am distressed by the ongoing inaccuracies in reporting late payments on my credit reports by XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax. Despite my initial attempt to address this issue through a written letter, I have not received any acknowledgment or resolution. The discrepancies pertain to late payments on my XXXX XXXX account ( account number : XXXX ) for the months of XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. I demand a thorough investigation into these inaccuracies and request the provision of verifiable proof regarding the alleged late payments. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), I insist that XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax physically verify the original signed consumer contract for the mentioned account. The failure to positively verify these accounts has adversely affected my creditworthiness and has impeded my ability to obtain credit. I am now submitting this complaint through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau 's online portal to seek a prompt and effective resolution to this matter. I demand that XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax verify or remove the inaccurate information immediately. Furthermore, I request the removal of non-account holding inquiries over 30 days old and the addition of a promotional suppression to my credit file. I expect a thorough investigation and corrective action from XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax. As stipulated by federal law, I request the completion of the investigation within XXXXhirty ( 30 ) days and the provision of a description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information within fifteen ( 15 ) days of the completion of the investigation. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will assist in facilitating a prompt resolution to these inaccuracies in credit reporting.

Issue: Written notification about debt

Subissue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Consumer Complaint: I have repeatedly disputed the accounts XXXX XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$330.00}, XXXX XXXX Date Opened : XXXX Balance : {$0.00}, and XXXX XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$0.00}, yet your bureau continues to report them as verified. I have even gone above and beyond by contacting the furnishers of this information directly, as the FCRA provides, and they have failed to respond or provide any proof of the disputed accounts. Your lack of response is unacceptable and I am demanding that you immediately delete this inaccurate and unverifiable information from my consumer file. I have already sent multiple letters and have received no response. Your failure to comply with the FCRA can result in legal action against your company. I have already done everything in my power to resolve this issue, and yet the information still remains on my credit report. I will not allow your company 's negligence to continue to harm my credit score and financial well-being. I demand that you take immediate action and delete the disputed accounts from my credit report.
