I have successfully sent documents explaining and verifying the abouve as well as repeatedly identifying myself for the last 2 years { XXXX-XXXX  ]. Not only is this time consuming, its rather annoying, it stops me from applying for home loans/credit cards/ ect. Equifax has been repeatedly sent disputes, failed to remove fraud accounts off my credit and has blocked me from obtaining my report to dispute such accounts, which is my right as a consumer.
