Good Morning this is my response to confirm that I did submit the complaint documentation for the Business and Businesses in the documents. I'll reply by stating again my complaint below about the "Improper Verification of Disputed Information Under FCRA 15 U.S.C. § 1681i"
To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to formally file a complaint against Equifax for failing to properly verify information that I previously disputed on my credit report.
The following disputes were previously disputed:
ACCOUNTS:
Professional Debt Mediatio - 785900XXXX
LVNV FUNDING LLC - 544303XXXXXXXXXX
FIRST PREMIER BANK- 517800XXXXXXXXXX
SELF FINANCIAL INC/ LEAD BANK- A00000XXXXXXXXXX
AUSTIN CAPITAL BANK SSB- 8A7457XXXX
KICKOFF LENDING LLC- CLR2PCXXXX
Despite my request for verification, the bureau responded that the accounts were “verified” without providing any supporting verification documentation or proof. This response is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) under 15 U.S.C. § 1681i, which requires credit reporting agencies to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation and either verify the accuracy of the information or delete it from the credit file.
Therefore, I am requesting that the CFPB take the following actions:
Require the credit bureau to provide complete documentation showing how these items were verified.
Delete the items if verification cannot be properly demonstrated. This unresolved issue has negatively affected my credit score and hindered my financial well-being. Failure to comply with my request under 15 U.S.C. § 1681i may result in legal action for non-compliance with federal law. I demand that these accounts be deleted immediately, or I will file litigation. I demand that these accounts be deleted immediately as I will seek litigation and $1000 per violation.
I respectfully ask for your assistance in resolving this matter promptly.
Thank you for your time and attention.

I recently reviewed my credit report and noticed an account that was not reporting accurately. I have a late payment on a account that was in fact paid on time. Consumer reporting agencies need to report all information with complete accuracy. This account has not been late on any payments. I have attached a copy of my report to this complaint on the date of NOV 2023. I demand this payment be updated to paid on time IMMEDIATELY. You can not report information with knowledge that the information has errors. I have substantial doubts about the accuracy of the information. Please update this account to PAID NEVER LATE.Customer Answer

Re: Danieshea King, Case # 23532445
Dear Connie Brown,
Thank you for submitting Danieshea King’s complaint on 6/28/25 through the BBB Complaint Portal.
Consumers can generally expect to receive the results of their dispute within 30 days. If the information is found to be inaccurate, their credit report will be updated, generally within about 30 days.
If the result of the investigation finds that the information is accurate, it will remain on their credit report. If they still believe the information is inaccurate or incomplete, and have additional information that can help support their dispute, they can file their dispute again. They will also have the option to provide a brief statement on their credit report summarizing their dispute, which can help explain their situation. Or they could contact the creditor to attempt to resolve the issue.
If they have any additional questions, they may call (888) 836-6351 or they may visit www.myequifax.com. With myEquifax, they can create an account to manage their security freeze, add or remove fraud alerts, and initiate credit file disputes.
