Date Received: 2024-01-19

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: XXXX5 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 1099-C 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 3949A : Information Referral AND IRS form 211. Application For Award Original Information Overview with the Internal Revenue Service against ALL entities involved.

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: On XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX closed out CFPB complaint XXXX claiming it was a duplicate of CFPB XXXX. It in fact was not as XXXX provided detailed evidence that showed the account, as reported across the CRAs, contains facially false data and illogical data. In particular, the account/trade reports derogatory information that predates earlier reports that did not include the derogatory information, and information that is plainly inconsistent with other reported information, such that one piece of information must is inaccurate.

Despite XXXXXXXX XXXX assertion they are reporting the account correctly they are indeed not and at minimum continue to verify facially inaccurate information with XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX. While XXXX may insist " they are responsible for [ furnishing ] data [ regarding the Consumer ] but are NOT responsible for how the data is displayed [ by the CRAs ], '' they share equal culpability with the CRAs for the errors in the Consumers file for the account/tradeline because " CRA [ s ] can best fulfill [ their ] obligation to report accurately under [ 15 U.S.C. ] 1681e if [ they receiv [ e ] accurate information from a furnisher under [ 15 U.S.C. ] 1681s-2 '' XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX has simply been asked to fix the errors and to cease verifying inaccurate/incomplete/misleading/false information for the Consumer. Discovers inability to fix those errors is clear indication that it lacks adequate policies and procedures for assuring maximum possible accuracy of information they furnish to the CRAs regarding the Consumer, placing XXXX in violation of 12 CFR 1022.42 ( b ) and 12 CFR Appendix E to Part 1022 at III.
