I spoke with Equifax employee XXXX from the XXXX team on XXXX/XXXX/15 around XXXX to XXXX this phone call was recorded so you can go back and listen exactly what he told me. I asked him how do you receive this information from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX because they can not verify this information with myself the company does not exist. I was told that the investigation was only that the Collection company had to do was answer yes or no if the collection from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was mine, there is no checking of social security numbers or address etc. XXXX himself said he gets a lot of calls from other consumers stating that this is not believable and more should be done to investigate disputes. Is this how disputes are conducted by Equifax? This to me does not meet the requirements of FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 1 ). Then I started to conduct my own investigation on Equifax and found out they are paid from companies to place these collections, no wonder they do n't want to investigate the accuracy, a simple yes or no is all it takes. I will be filling a complaint on Equifax and the collection company XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to the ILLINOIS ATTORNEY GENERAL OFFICE XXXX XXXX to see if I can get help to file a lawsuit or a civil suit on both companies. I will also start a social media page to see if any other consumers have had issues regarding this matter
