Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports

Dear Equifax Customer Service, I am writing to formally request information regarding the procedures you utilize to verify the accuracy of items listed on my credit report. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I believe it is essential for consumers to understand how their information is evaluated and verified. 

It is concerning to think that inaccuracies could exist on my credit report, as these discrepancies can be both frightening and damaging. The impact of incorrect information on a person 's credit report can be devastating, so it is critical to ensure accurate reporting. Therefore, I would like to know the specific steps Equifax takes to ensure that the items reported truly belong to the individual named in the report. 

Additionally, I request that you provide me with the name of the person you communicated with at any companies regarding my credit items, along with the date of that communication. Furthermore, I would appreciate it if you could confirm the address and phone number for the companies in question, as this will help me address any discrepancies directly with them. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response outlining your verification procedures and providing the requested contact information.
