Despite multiple attempts to address these issues, Equifax has failed to provide adequate responses, thereby exacerbating my financial distress and causing significant harm to my ability to obtain essential credit, including the purchase of a home.

The continued reporting of fraudulent accounts that were not authorized by me constitutes a willful violation of this section.
