Complaint:
I appreciate your taking the time to REMOVE some of the erroneous accounts in my credit file ; however, there are still many accounts that need to be DELETED. The credit bureaus must verify these accounts under Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ). ( A ). I'm hoping that these disputed accounts be DELETED immediately.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA
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:
I previously submitted a complaint to CFPB about Equifax handling of my credit report dispute. Equifax responded to the request stating they sent me an update. I received the update and it is a generic form letter. This is unacceptable. Equifax provided my credit report to these companies without my consent and they are not following the established FCRA guidelines for disputes. Equifax did not verify the accuracy of these inquiries. All they did was sent me a form letter. Equifax needs to delete these fraudulent inquiries or Equifax needs to verify the accuracy of each inquiry. If Equifax is unable or unwilling to verify these inquries within 30 days, they need to be deleted. 

I have contacted Equifax about this and they told me to send in a police report and/or a FTC Report . I have done both and even though they have evidence and documentation that this is fradulent, they still are refusing to do anything except send me a form letter telling me why they report inquiries. 

I do not want another form letter. I want Equifax to follow the FCRA and verify these inquiries. In the next repsonse I receive from Equifax, I am expecting to see the name, address, phone number, date, method of contact, and the person that each inquiry was verified with. ***** DO NOT SEND ME ANOTHER FORM LETTER THAT DOES NOT CONTAIN THIS SPECIFIC INFORMATION AS OUTLINED BY THE FCRA***** I should not have to keep telling Equifax how to follow procedures.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem

Complaint:
When I reviewed my credit report, I discovered that some of the information was erroneous. The 3 credit bureaus must validate these accounts in line with Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). It is not authorized to fail to validate these reporting accounts as unverified information without providing any proof within the period allowed by law. You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Disclosures to consumers [ 15 U.S.C. 1681g ] ( ( a ) Information on file ; sources ; report recipients. XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX shall, upon request, and subject to 610 ( a ) ( 1 ) [ 1681h ], clearly and accurately disclose to the consumer. If the consumer to whom the file relates requests that the first 5 digits of the social security number ( or similar identification number ) of the consumer not be included in the disclosure and the consumer reporting agency has received appropriate proof of the identity of the requester, the consumer reporting agency shall so truncate such number in such disclosure. & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Procedure in case of disputed accuracy [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ] ( a ) Reinvestigations of Disputed Information. If the completeness or accuracy of any item of information contained in my file at XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX are disputed by the consumer and the consumer notifies the agency directly, or indirectly through a creditor, the Bureaus shall, free of charge, conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate and record the current status of the disputed information, or delete the item from my file in accordance with paragraph ( 5 ), before the end of the 30-day period beginning on the date on which the agency receives the notice of the dispute from the consumer or creditor Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under 15 USC1681i ( a ) ( 7 ).

Issue: Trouble using your card
Sub-issue: Credit card company won't increase or decrease your credit limit

Complaint:
I believe I was discriminated against based on national origin, in violation of the " federal equal credit opportunity act violation '', by Synchrony bank when requesting an credit limit increase on my amazon store card. They refused to increase the limit past {$450.00}, and the reason they gave in their letter is " Insufficient experience at your current credit limit '', which doesn't make sense as I've had plenty of experience ( had the card for 3 years almost ), and all my other credit cards from other issuers have credit limits in the thousands. I've never had a late payment in any of my credit cards. My credit score is very good ( XXXX ), and my annual income is over {$150000.00} before taxes. A {$450.00} limit makes no sense and I believe it is because when I first came to the US for work, I had no credit score and the amazon store card was a secured card with a {$100.00} limit. There's some weird legacy in their system that I think does not allow them to give higher limits to people that started off with a {$100.00} limit, but I believe that is disciminatory towards people from other nations who come to the US without a credit score.
