Complaint:
Dear Equifax : After reviewing your response to my dispute letter of charge-off account. 



1. 15 U.S.C 1681B ( c ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( B ) ( 3 ) FURNISHING reports in connection with credit or insurance transaction That are not initiated by consumer. 
XXXX Date of inquiry : XX/XX/2021 Please remove it from my credit report. Did not consent to unauthorized inquiry. 

2. 15 U.S. CODE 1681O - CIVIL LIABILITY FOR NEGLIGENT NONCOMPLIANCE XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX**** Please remove this account from my credit report 3. I have not supplied proof under the doctrine of estoppel by silence Engelhardt vs. Gravens ( mo ) 281 SW 715 719 I may presume that no proof of the alleged debt nor therefore any such debt in fact therefore exists. 
XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Please remove it from my credit report. 

I have received additional relevant information for you to fix this inaccurate charge-off account. I understand that you quoted the law in your letter you sent to me. The FCRA also states that I have the right to dispute inaccurate and incomplete information. For the fifth time, Im asking you to do a reasonable investigation and fix this problem. If you choose to ignore my dispute, when I have provided new and relevant information according to the FCRA, I will have no other choice but to escalate this matter and file complaints with the XXXX, attorney general, attorney general in your state, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Justice Department, Office of Comptroller of Currency, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Advocates for Fair Credit Reporting. 



1. You must assume that my dispute of this information is valid unless you have evidence that states otherwise. Do you have this evidence? If not, and you dont investigate, then you are being non-compliant. 



2. I have provided you further information on this dispute and, as a result, you must investigate and, if you choose not to, then you are non-compliant again. 



These actions are all violations of the FCRA. Every month you choose not to investigate this matter, my character is being damaged. 



Im carefully tracking all correspondence with your company. 



I think 30 days should be long enough for your company to complete this investigation. 



Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
I disputed a collection account. XXXX did not remove the account while they investigate. According to the FCRA 15 USC 1681 section 602 says that consumer reporting agencies have a responsibility to report fair and accurate information with respect to the consumers right to privacy. XXXX is a financial institution per 15 UCS 1681 section 604 which says that any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : " in accordance with written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. '' XXXX does not have my consent to furnish this information and they absolutely do not have my written consent. any and all consent XXXX in any form ( written, verbal or implied ) is revoked. 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) states " a financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless -- the consumer i given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that non disclosure option. '' XXXX never informed me that i had a right to exercise my nondisclosure option. In addition to that 15 USC 1681C says Except as authorized under subsection ( b ), no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information : ( 5 ) Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years. This account is clearly in adverse action and they are reporting without my permission which is against the law. Now 15 USC 1681s -- 2 ( A ) ( 1 ) states " A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 15 USC 1681e says that " Every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681c of this title and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section 1681b of this title. '' XXXX is not maintaining reasonable procedures. Oh yeah, 12 CFR 1016.7 states that i can opt out of reporting services at anytime, and i am opting out of ASMHER COLLECTION SERVICES reporting to my consumer report.

Complaint:
My credit report is some how littered with allot of different addresses that I don't live at nor even heard of. My name is on my credit report spelled in several different ways that I have never used nor went by for any reason or occasion. There are bundles of phone numbers that are also connected to my credit report that have absolutely no relation to myself what-so-ever. There is also a few places of employment that are on my credit report in which I have never been employed. 
All of this additional information that is on my credit report causes concern for creditors that I request funds from. It makes it look as if multiple people are just randomly applying for credit with my name, but there are NO Fraudulent accounts on any of my credit reports. I am trying to buy a very nice home for my family and little things like this are potentially preventing myself from such purchases.
