Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: Equifax Office of Fraud Victim Assistance XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX Equifax Fraud Department XXXX This is a final attempt to resolve this matter. The account you sent back verified are entirely inaccurate, incomplete and represents a very serious error in your reporting. Also, be advised that this is my third time contacting you company about this matter in writing. Your company is in violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681. No need for me to go into detail and tell you the law. Your company KNOWS for a fact that you are required under the FCRA to have properly verified the accuracy of an account listed on my credit report with physical documents. As I am sure that you are well aware, current Federal case law states that, Consumer Reporting Agencies bear grave responsibilities to ensure the accuracy of the accounts they report on and their responsibility must consist of something more than merely parroting information received from other sources. That basically means that you cant just verify my account by telling me it is verified. Nor can you verify my account by telling me you contacted the creditor and the account I disputed is Verified. This means that IF you cant send me proof of this account, it must come off. All in all, you have ignored my request to provided me with the documents that you have in your files that you used to verify the disputed accounts which means that you have NOT verified or you can not verify any of these accounts and under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to promptly delete all information which can not be verified. This law is as clear as daylight as to the Civil liability and the remedy available to me for negligent noncompliance ( Section 617 ) if you fail to comply with this Federal Law. I am a litigious consumer and fully intend on pursuing litigation in this matter to enforce my rights under the FCRA. I demand the following accounts be verified or deleted immediately : 1. Account Name XXXXAL Reason XXXX You failed to verify and validate all data for this account, every notation, dates and balances.

Issue: Credit monitoring or identity theft protection services

Subissue: Billing dispute for services

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2023 I filed a dispute with the credit bureaus XXXX, Equifax and XXXX for late payments that are showing on my credit report. I stated several consumer laws that I believe to be relevant pertaining to my dispute. Late payments are considered to be a transaction and can not be reported on my consumer report without written consent from myself. I demanded they be removed because transactions can not be reported on a consumer report per FCRA REGULATIONS.
