Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Personal information incorrect

Complaint:
I have tried to have my information updated on my credit report as it is listed incorrectly. I have contacted Equifax several times regarding this and they have failed to correct it. I sent a letter to them on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. Each to no avail and I considered sending another letter because as of XX/XX/XXXX they still have not corrected my DOB but I decided to file a complaint instead. You will find all of the letters I sent to them attached along with my driver 's license which I also sent to them for legal proof.

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX, I subscribed to XXXX  for a total cost of {$180.00}. Thereafter I sought to cancel the purchase and receive a refund. I contacted the company I thought to believe was XXXX as they advertised online with a very similar name. In fact, I had reached a scammer. The representative that I spoke with advised me that I had reached the intended company and if I paid and additional {$180.00} via Venmo, I would be refunded for both charges. Thereafter, I made a payment via Venmo as XXXX XXXX requested. 
I immediately discovered that this individual was in no way affiliated to XXXX Therefore I immediately contacted Venmo to request a reversal, letting them know I was scammed by another client of theirs. However, they are unwilling to comply with my request and urged me to follow up with the " seller '' directly. I have never purchased an item from XXXX XXXX. I was a victim of a scammer who utilized Venmo 's services to perpetuate fraud. Accordingly, Venmo should refund {$180.00} to me. 
I have also filed a police report on XX/XX/23 and my lawyer has sent them a letter XX/XX/23 & XX/XX/23. No response from Venmo.

Please remove the following account from my credit report immediately : Account # XXXX Currently, I do not have a lawsuit pending but I will exercise my rights if XXXX continues to violate my rights under the FCRA and fails to comply with the law.

On XX/XX/2022 I sent a letter re : inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report. It has been over 30 days and I have not received a response yet. I feel like I am being ignored and taken advantage of regarding my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) clearly states that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. It has been over 60 days so they should be promptly deleted. This has really caused me a lot of stress and strain and I demand that these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have gotten into the hands of the wrong person
