Issue: Written notification about debt

Subissue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Consumer Complaint: It has come to my attention that despite my numerous attempts to dispute the account listed below, they still remain on my credit report. Your lack of action in this matter has left me extremely frustrated and angry. XXXX XXXX XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/2021 Balance : Balance : {$32000.00}. It is unacceptable that your response to my previous disputes regarding this account was that they were " previously investigated ''. This response is not only inadequate but also shows your lack of concern for my legal rights. I remind you that under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( a ), each time a consumer reporting agency receives a dispute, it is required to reinvestigate the dispute free of charge and record the current status of the disputed information or update the item from the file within 30 days. Failure to do so is a violation of the FCRA.

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

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