Consumer Narrative
I am filing this complaint because my Equifax credit report contains inaccurate and unauthorized information, specifically unverifiable collection accounts and/or charge-offs. I have exercised my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by previously disputing these entries, yet the credit reporting agency has continued to report them without proper investigation or verification, in direct violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681i and 1681e ( b ). These accounts were never authorized by me, and no supporting documentationsuch as signed contracts or written consenthas been provided, as required under the law. Negative accounts : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - Late 60 days ( Not aware of this account ) XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) The continued reporting of this inaccurate information despite being notified constitutes willful noncompliance under 15 U.S.C. 1681n, which entitles me to statutory damages. It also demonstrates negligent failure to maintain reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy, in violation of 1681o.
