Consumer complaint received 2023-07-23
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TN
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
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:
Between XXXX I was the victim of identity fraud ; the thief applied for 3 credit cards in my name. On XX/XX/XXXX, they applied for credits cards with XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) and XXXX  XXXX and another card on XX/XX/XXXX with XXXX XXXX. All the banks were called to report the fraud. XXXX halted the in-progress application and the other two  banks cancelled the accounts and initiated investigations. The investigations all found that these were fraudulent accounts, reported this to the three credit agencies and sent me letters stating such. Additionally on XX/XX/XXXX, I froze my accounts at all three credit bureaus, initiated fraud alerts with all of them and filed a police report. 

In XXXX, I checked my credit record with the three agencies and they had removed the accounts from my credit record but neither XXXX, Equifax nor XXXX removed the hard inquiries for the fraudulent accounts. On XXXX I disputed the inquiries with each of the three agencies. XXXX removed the inquiries and XXXX did not ( I am also submitting a complaint for them ). On XXXX, Equifax sent a letter stating they would not remove the inquiries because they are factual. I called Equifax to find out why it would not be removed and how to dispute it. They instructed me to send them copies of the letters from the credit cards and a letter stating I am requesting removal of the inquiries so on XX/XX/XXXX I mailed them the documentation. 

In mid-XXXX  I checked my credit record at Equifax and the hard inquiries were still on my record so I called them to discuss how to remove them. On XX/XX/XXXX, I instigated another dispute online with Equifax and on XX/XX/XXXX they closed the investigation stating again the inquiries are factual and would not be removed. On XX/XX/XXXX, I re-sent the credit card investigation findings letters, a letter demanding removal of the inquiries and this time a copy of the police report to Equifax. I am awaiting a response from them. 

I do not believe it should be this difficult to correct your credit record especially after the agencies are notified by the credit cards of the fraudulent activity. The mere reporting of the fraud by the credit card banks to the agencies should have resulted in the complete removal of all traces of the fraudulent activity. The fraudulent activity definitely should have been removed once I sent the investigation letters from the credit card banks. It is preposterous that Equifax has not removed this fraudulent activity at this point.

Complaint:
I previously notified you that I am a victim of identity theft, and requested that you do the following : Close the unauthorized account Remove any charges on the unauthorized account, and Take steps to remove information about this account from my credit files.

I still have not received written confirmation of these actions. As I stated before : I am a victim of identity theft.

Please send me written confirmation that I am not responsible for charges on this account, and take appropriate steps to remove information about this account from my credit files.

I have enclosed a copy of my FTC Identity Theft Report.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information is missing that should be on the report

Complaint:
Our auto loan account has been both altered and deleted from your last reporting of our account after the account closed in XXXX of this year. We called into your office on yesterday and was told that Westlake would not have made any changes to our accounts This is only a problem on XXXX  but may need to be corrected on all three of the credit bureaus. 

Remarks were added to my wife 's XXXX credit report saying that the account was being disputed. This caused her account to drop seven points. We disputed that change and asked them to remove the remarks and her score has since increased back to what it was before the complaint filing, but this problem was initiated at XXXX when they for no reason made changes to my wife 's file and totally removed my file from their reporting.

Sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
I have disputed the referenced accounts to the 3 main credit bureaus and do not owe your company anything. I dont know this company and I do not recall ever having this debt and appears to be fraud, see attached FTC Report. Moreover, no adequate information has been given and noticed these accounts appear to violate my rights as well, per 15 USC 1692 ( e ) ( f ) ( g ). Moreover, you stated the account was verified as accurate by law 15 USC 1681 ( e ). Per 15 USC 1681 ( e ) The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer. Investigations weren't completed as described by law and no factual information should be on credit reports. Im requesting removal of accounts and/or monetary compensation due to violations of my rights. Im currently seeking litigation regarding consistent harassment, unfair debt practices, adding without my permission/authorization within 5 days and more. As the original creditor, only I can validate the debt therefore Im requesting removal and this account violates my consumer rights in several ways. Please remove and provide some updates within 4 days of receipt, as this has been ongoing for over 3-4 months.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/20 my house was broken into. My door was completely destroyed. I called the police and made a report since I have cameras everything including the 2 guys is on video and has been given to the police. I noticed a sticker that had been left that said my property was determined vacant and if it's not vacant to call XXXX XXXX XXXX. I called them asking questions that they didn't want to answer but they did tell me they sent the 2 men out because Bank of America told them to. The 2 men apparently thought my property was vacant. When they broke in and found out it wasn't they reported that to XXXX XXXX. That's why when I called they said they knew it wasn't vacant. Just for the record Bank of America knew my property wasnt vacant. It doesnt even look vacant.
