Complaint:
EQUIFAX illegally changed the status of 2 XXXX XXXX ACCOUNTS which were XXXX in XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. I supplied them with my XXXX Schedule schedule confirming the date of first delinquency being XX/XX/XXXX. They reaged the accounts by listing that date as XX/XX/XXXX, date XXXX was XXXX. 

Instead of simply deleting the 2 accounts which are in violation on FCRA statutes, a representative decided to illegally change the status to CHARGED OFF and they have added balances due upwards of {$45000.00} which is ILLEGAL and FRAUDULENT. 

My credit score PLUMMETED XXXX POINTS due to their negligence! 

I am attempting resolution 1 last time before litigation. My fresh start was stolen from me as I have battled their inaccurate reporting since day 1. 

I have attached my XXXX SCHEDULE proving the 2 accounts referenced are required to be deleted per FCRA statutes. 

I have also attached my EQUIFAX credit report prior to their arbitrary change of status to the above accounts.

Complaint:
I'm victim of Identity Theft, my personal information has been stollen, so as a result I got fraudulent hard inquires on my report. I have filed FTC report for this matter and included in this report. 
I certify that I am qualified and authorized to file this dispute. I also understand that knowing and a willful misstatement of omissions of material facts constitutes a federal criminal violation punishable under 18 U.S.C. 1001. Additionally, these misstatements are punishable as perjury under 18 U.S.C. 1621.

I'm not using any third party for this matter and send this dispute on my own. 
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. 

It should be noted that an inquiry that was 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 these hard inquires : XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX  XX/XX/2022 XXXX XXXX  XXXX  XXXX  XX/XX/2022 ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/2022 ; XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2022 Please remove these items listed above as a fraudulent items.
