I contacted Equifax around XXXX XXXX because I had not received a response back from the alleged creditor. So I was disputing this inaccurate information pursuant U.S.C sec 1692g XXXX b ) : If the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period described in subsection ( a ) that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, or that the consumer requests the name and address of the original creditor, the debt collector shall cease collection of the debt, or any disputed portion thereof, until the debt collector obtains verification of the debt or any copy of a judgment, or the name and address of the original creditor, and a copy of such verification or judgment, or name and address of the original creditor, is mailed to the consumer by the debt collector. 

( c ) The failure of a consumer to dispute the validity of a debt under this section may not be construed by any court as an admission of liability by the consumer. 

I called Equifax on XXXX/XXXX/2015 and spoke with XXXX. When I contacted the CRA they refused to remove the information and stated that I did not have the right to validate the debt because I was not the CRA which is not correct by law.
