Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: XXXX, Equifax and XXXX have violated 15 USC 1681 as to reporting 100 percent accuracy to my credit profile. I have have since noticed when trying to purchase a home that ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) Is listed several times on my credit report. Meaning it's being reported under this name and then under the debt collector illegally sold my information to. I by the way have no written permission to sell anyone my personal information. I believe this reporting is a double jeopardy. Although the balances might not reflect under each name I still have the derogatory mark and the negative remarks for both accounts effecting my credit score. But above all not one of the 3 reports for either company reflects the correct or accurate information. It is very deceptive when one shows a whole different amount being {$300.00} and the debt collector shows {$430.00} one company stating the date opened as being XX/XX/XXXX and the other as XX/XX/XXXX. This is impossible to have two different amounts and open dates for the same debt. So with that being said why would anyone reviewing my credit report see this as the same company. They would not and it was made to look this way to cheat the system. This has been very damaging to my report for a long time. I have been being negatively impacted by this and violated in so many different way. The credit bureaus have allowed such to take place. I have brought this to their attention and disputes several times and ways only to receive a validation of the debt back. This is a very slimy way of reporting and does not by any means comply with the frca laws to protect consumers reports. I want both accounts removed from my report or I will take legal action. The FDCPA laws are not being followed and I want it to end now.. I want my creditworthiness back.

Consumer Complaint: I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my continued frustration and dissatisfaction with the unresolved issue concerning the late open account entry on my credit report, despite multiple attempts to correct this discrepancy. As detailed in my initial complaint, I reported an inaccuracy in my credit report concerning the late opening of an accounts. Despite my efforts and your acknowledgment of the issue, the problem persists, adversely affecting my creditworthiness. I submitted a follow-up dispute, providing additional documentation and clarification to support my claim. Regrettably, subsequent to this second attempt, the late open account remains on my credit report, and I have yet to receive a satisfactory resolution to this matter. I understand that the credit reporting process involves careful investigation, and I appreciate the importance of accuracy in credit reporting. However, the prolonged presence of this erroneous information is causing undue stress and negatively impacting my financial standing. I urge you to expedite the resolution of this matter by conducting a thorough and timely investigation into the late open account entry on my credit report. It is my expectation that all necessary measures will be taken to rectify this situation promptly, ensuring the accurate representation of my credit history. I request your immediate attention to this matter and insist on receiving clear communication regarding the steps being taken to address this issue.

Please keep me informed of the progress made in this investigation and provide a specific timeline for the removal of the late open account from my credit report. I believe that prompt action on your part will help restore the accuracy of my credit information and prevent any further negative impact on my financial well-being.
