Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
Congress enacted the FCRA in 1970 to ensure the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy, and proper utilization of credit reports. 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( b ). 

I filed a certified dispute with Equifax and it was mailed on XX/XX/XXXX, and Equifax received the letter on XX/XX/XXXX. In this complaint I requested that only my name, XXXX XXXX, be listed on my credit report to reflect accurate reporting and I produced a State issued driver 's license as proof of identification and Equifax is still reporting XXXX XXXX XXXX on my credit report as a former name which could lead to fraud because there are so many XXXX XXXX. I request that this information be removed or masked. This letter also included a dispute of bankruptcy information reported by XXXX, which included a XXXX XXXX Account which is closed which indicates that it is a bankruptcy account. XXXX has no permissible reason to report information, does not have my written consent to report and in fact I have opted-out of XXXX at XXXX twice. The bankruptcy court does not report information to any agency. This is an infringement on my right to privacy and continues to oppress me and is discriminatory. 

In addition, I mailed a certified letter on XX/XX/XXXX, requesting that Equifax send me the Sources and Report Recipients for Report # XXXX and " Description of Procedures for Reinvestigation '' for XXXX and all other disputed information ; Equifax received this request on XX/XX/XXXX. I received a letter today from Equifax saying that I can request a Description of Procedures for Reinvestigation for the disputes related to report # XXXX. Equifax has five days to provide this information to me and has failed to do so.

Product: Debt collection

Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Told you not to respond to a lawsuit they filed against you

Complaint:
This Company was told to cease and desist as a third party collector with no contract to enforce collection of a debt and do not have a bilateral or unilateral contract with the company who contracted them. Lawyers and Attorneys do not have a license to practice law as a BAR Card is only a members card and not licenses. Notice of dispute and a qualified written request has been sent to the company. A power of Attorney has revoked any previous power of attorney and no company has power of attorney for this Estate. Under 12 USC 83 banks can not credit any money from their stock and I believe the note was deposited was cashed and no credit, value of gold or silver has not been given by either company. A request for a Securitization Analysis Report by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is requested on this account. All responses are to be by Affidavit of Truth only as letters can be filled with lies. Proof of power of attorney is requested as well

Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
Please note, this is a not a duplicate complaint and I'm not using any third party for this matter, I'm sending this complaint because Transunion credit Bureau has reported hard inquiries that I have never authorized. I am very concerned about all activity going on with my credit reports these days. I immediately demand the removal of these inquiries to avoid any confusion as I DID NOT initiate these inquires or give any form of consent electronically, in person, or over the phone. I am fully aware that without permissible purpose no entity is allowed to pull my credit unless otherwise noted in section 604 of the FTCRA. Inquiries that are made by someone else without my authorization is not a factual record of access to my credit file, it is a factual record of fraudulent activity, and it must be addressed as such. The reason that these inquiries are being disputed is because they were not made by me, and when I report this to you, it is your responsibility to investigate my claims, and when you can not prove that these inquiries were made by me, they must be removed from my credit file. It is not my responsibility to go directly to each creditor, the obligation lies at your feet because you are reporting inaccurate information within my credit report, and this violates the FCRA. I have filed FTC report and included in this complaint It should be noted that these inquiries were not made by me is not a factual record, just as a fraudulently opened account is not a factual record and not referred to the creditor to be disputed directly with them. As a consumer I should not be required to dispute each fraudulent inquiry directly with each company. These inquiries are the result of fraudulent activity and therefore inaccurate information in which the credit reporting agencies or the creditors can not verify, meaning that these inquiries are unverifiable information and must be deleted from out of my credit file. Here are the name of these inquiries : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Please remove these items from my report as soon as possible.
