Consumer Complaint: I am using my rights under the FCRA to contest any information on my credit report that I believe is not accurate. The data included in my credit report must be documented and validated before it is included on my report. I can't recognize or accept the allegation of delinquency and derogatoriness without factual proof. I challenge the reportability of this allegation, which doesn't meet federal or state reporting requirements. You must report this with the greatest compliance and accuracy possible. You shouldnt report any claims that you know or should know are not in compliance with regulations or the law. The content mentioned above was never verified to meet reporting standards. The data preceding it was never verified to be accurate, complete, or up to date. I require any erroneous, incomplete, or unsupported material be deleted. This discrepancy is alarming and I'm confident you'll resolve them quickly. Please review the account with a fine tooth comb, as it appears that something isn't quite right here! The data appears inaccurate or inconsistent with established reporting standards of the XXXX. I want to bring to your attention Creditor Type ( - ) reporting Personal Loan Companies .The data for this account appears to be inaccurate or inconsistent with established reporting standards of the XXXX XXXX I would like you to review it again and prove that everything is true, accurate, complete ( in time ), verified & compliant with all requirements- if not then please remove my profile!

So, how did you manage to comply? Prove your compliance by showing me some proof! Furthermore, this has been ongoing with XXXX and they have not addressed any of my concerns and I demand that this credit file be removed from my credit report for several inaccuracies mentioned and included in this complaint. In addition, the loan was apparently sold to a company named XXXX XXXX and the complaint and response from XXXX XXXX is also included in this complaint. According to 15 US Code 1681s-2- Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies, XXXX XXXX has neglected to address any of my concerns and have failed to provide accurate information to the data furnishers and Credit Reporting Agencies such as Reporting information after notice and confirmation of errors ( a copy of the 15 US Code 1681s-2 is also included in this complaint ) Additional copies include my credit report with the inaccuracies listed such as showing a charge off and a past due balance which is a clear violation of the FCRA.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX Phone : XXXX SS # : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , TX XXXX Legal Department : My information was sold and bought illegally because I was a victim of the Equifax data breach. I want these items Deleted from my credit reports effective immediately. I attached proof that Equifax has admitted that I was in fact a victim of this data breach and Equifax has done nothing. Please help me delete these illegal accounts from my credit reports. Listing all negative accounts from the credit reports. Account names and account numbers attached with complaint with the CFPB. This information is damaging me since it is affecting the interest rates that I am able to get and limits my credit capacity. This letter is a formal complaint that you are reporting invalid and incomplete account information as well as both inaccurate and incorrect account information. After consultation I found that there are Federal Laws to ensure credit reporting bureaus such as yours may only report 100 % valid, complete, accurate and correct information on my credit report to potential creditors. Therefore, Pursuant to 15 U.S.C section 1681 ( e ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Upon receipt of this notification The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires you and I am requesting that you verify the following items : Account Name : XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Type : Revolving - Account : XXXX Please remove from my credit report Account Name : XXXX XXXX Type : Revolving - Account : XXXX Please remove from my credit report Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Type : Revolving - Account : XXXX Please remove from my credit report Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Type : Revolving - Account : XXXX Please remove from my credit report Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Type : Revolving - Account : XXXX Please remove from my credit report Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX : Revolving - Account : XXXX Please remove from my credit report Account Name : XXXX XXXX Type : Revolving - Account : XXXX Please remove from my credit report Account Name : XXXX XXXX Type : Revolving - Account : XXXX Please remove from my credit report Please also notify the subscribers who reported these items within 5 days after receiving these disputes, and verify with that person my full name, address, date of birth, social security number, account number, status, date of last activity, balance, high balance, and amount as applicable. Please know that if your response to my request contains any remark such as changed, updated or new information below rather than deleted you are in violation of Federal Law, I will be forced to take further action against you as the Federal Law clearly states that the item must be deleted. When you finish your investigation Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. section 1681 ( i ) ( 7 ) whereby a consumer reporting agency shall provide to a consumer the requested detailed description referred to in paragraph and section ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) by not later than 15 days after receiving a request from a consumer for that description, of the method of verification used and the name of the person at the source you contacted, the furnishers business name, address, phone number and date this verification has transacted. In the event that you continue to list the disputed item on my credit report I will find it necessary to file suit against your company for actual damages and punitive damages under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Because the Fair Credit Reporting Act provides concurrent jurisdiction in federal and state courts, I shall elect to use my residency county and state as jurisdiction to bring appropriate action against your company. I look forward to an uneventful resolution of this matter. Thank You In Advance, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX SSN # : XXXX D.O.B. XX/XX/XXXX
