Subject : Complaint Regarding Failure to Delete Fraudulent Accounts from Credit Repor violating the law FCRA To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to file a formal complaint against EQUIFAX for their failure to remove fraudulent accounts on my credit report as required by law.

I recently disputed several accounts on my credit report under the claim of identity theft, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681C-2. I submitted an FTC identity theft report ( FTC Report Number : XXXX ) as evidence. The credit bureau acknowledged my dispute but has not complied with the requirements set forth by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Despite my initial request for the blocking of these fraudulent items, the following account remain on my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Date opened XX/XX/year> 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( 7 ) - Description of Investigation : Pursuant to the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are obligated to provide a description of the investigation within 15 days of receiving a consumer 's dispute. To date, I have not received this required information. 

15 U.S.C. 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( a ) - Verification Requirement : Per the FCRA, you are required by federal law to verify all accounts and public information through physical verification og the original signed consumer contract and/or judgment ( s ). Without such verification, there is a risk that erroneous or fraudulent information could be included in credit reports. Given the lack of adequate verification, I request the removal of this unauthorized public record information. 

Accuracy Compliance : Additionally, under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), you are required to follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy of the information in my credit report. If the information can not be verified, per 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ), I request that you delete any unverifiable information.

Failure to Investigate Accurately ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) : After submitting a dispute regarding inaccuracies on my credit report, I did not receive a thorough investigation within the mandated 30-day timeframe. The results of the investigation did not adequately address my concerns.

According to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, credit reporting agencies are required to block disputed information identified as resulting from identity theft within four business days of receiving a valid identity theft report. Additionally, under 15 U.S.C. 609 ( a ) ( 2 ) and 1681i ( 7 ), any unverifiable or inaccurate information must be removed from my credit report.

Inadequate Compliance Procedures ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ) : The bureau has not demonstrated that it has implemented reasonable procedures to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information provided on my report. I am requesting detailed information on the procedures used during the investigation.

I demand that the CFPB investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that this fraudulent account is deleted from my credit report. I expect a prompt resolution to this issue and would appreciate any guidance you can provide regarding my rights in this matter.

Thank you for your attention to this urgent issue.
