Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Personal information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: Despite three written requests, the unverified items still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditors documentation on file to verify that this information is mine and is correct. In the results of your investigations, you stated in writing that you verified that these items are being reported correctly.

Furthermore you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. In Accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act these Creditors have Violated my rights under Title 15 U.S.C 1681 602 States I have Right to Privacy Title 15 U.S.C Section 604 ( a ) Section 2, it also States a Consumer Reporting Agency can not Furnish an Account without my Written Instructions Under Title 15 U.S.C 1666 ( b ) ( a ) A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose.

Subissue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Consumer Complaint: I have sent my identification 2 times via USPS First class mail and will upload it again in this complaint along with the letter you have sent requesting my identification which is burdensome as I have already sent it to you. I disputed because my privacy rights are being violated and the basis of my dispute is in accordance with FCRA 602 and 604 ( A ) which states a consumer reporting agency can not Furnish an account without my written instructions. I also requested the Method of Verification under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( B ) 6 ( iii ) requesting the name of the person ( s ) you spoke with along with their addresses and telephone numbers and the procedures used to come to the conclusion that my privacy rights are not being violated when my dispute was verified updated. Additionally, Equifax has failed to honor my request in 15 days which is required under FCRA 611 ( A ) ( 7 ) as this also means that Equifax may owe me {$1000.00} due to this violation which Equifax failed to respond in timely manner. Please remove the accounts listed below immediately they are violating my privacy rights under FCRA 602 and FCRA 604 ( A ). Trade : XXXX XXXX # XXXX. Trade : XXXX XXXX XXXX.

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: XXXXUSC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) clearly states that transactions between the consumer and the Person/Corporation making thXXXX report is NOT included on the consumer reports. Yet XXXX is reporting this information.. The reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15USC 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 ', let 's 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 XXXX Debt. XXXX and the creditors reporting collections/Charge-Offs, late payments/other derogatory information in my consumer reports 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 For Original Information Overview with the Internal Revenue Service against ALL entities involved.
