Equifax Reinsertion

[InFiNiTeX]

I just recvd my Results in the mail on a dispute, outcome deleted, the 3 days later the item was reinserted. I spoke with Equifax and they said the CA re-reported the info, and that i could put it under dispute again, or contact the CA. I have DV'ed the CA, they have not marked the item as disputed. Should I Dispute the item again?

Nope. There should be no need to.

Wait 5 business days, and if you don't get a letter from EQ stating they reinserted the tradeline, send them a copy of the page stating the item was deleted, along with a letter saying they didn't notify you within 5 days of reinsertion and the quote from the FCRA stating such:

FCRA section 611

(5) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information.

(A) In general. If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph (1) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or cannot be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall promptly delete that item of information from the consumer's file or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation.

( Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material.

(i) Certification of accuracy of information. If any information is deleted from a consumer's file pursuant to subparagraph (A), the information may not be reinserted in the file by the consumer reporting agency unless the person who furnishes the information certifies that the information is complete and accurate.

(ii) Notice to consumer. If any information that has been deleted from a consumer's file pursuant to subparagraph (A) is reinserted in the file, the consumer reporting agency shall notify the consumer of the reinsertion in writing not later than 5 business days after the reinsertion or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by any other means available to the agency.

(iii) Additional information. As part of, or in addition to, the notice under clause (ii), a consumer reporting agency shall provide to a consumer in writing not later than 5 business days after the date of the reinsertion

(I) a statement that the disputed information has been reinserted;

(II) the business name and address of any furnisher of information contacted and the telephone number of such furnisher, if reasonably available, or of any furnisher of information that contacted the consumer reporting agency, in connection with the reinsertion of such information; and

Infi,

Xanathos made big bucks on reinsertions by Equifax. Cm Chase is giving you good advice.

Thanks for the replies, I will be sending the letter off today, Shouldn't CA not have been able to update being they didnt verify the DV or mark the account as Disputed?

Same thing happened to me. I sent them a reinsertion letter CMRR on Sept. 14th but they haven't taken it off yet!
