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:
On XX/XX/2023, I sent a letter to the three credit bureaus concerning several accounts that were fraudulently reported and must be removed from my credit report. Unfortunately, I have not received any response from the credit bureaus so far. According to the 15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2, a consumer reporting agency is required to block the reporting of any information in a consumer 's file that the consumer identifies as resulting from alleged identity theft within four business days of receiving such information. It has now been 30 days, and the credit bureaus are in clear violation of this law, as I am a victim of identity theft. 

I urgently request the immediate deletion of these fraudulent accounts from my consumer report. These accounts should not be furnished on my report, as they are in direct violation of my rights as a federally protected consumer. Under 15 U.S. Code 1681b, the permissible purposes of consumer reports do not apply in this situation, as I never provided any written consent to any consumer reporting agency to report such information on my consumer report. This lack of consent constitutes identity theft, and it is my right as a consumer to have these accounts removed immediately. 

I expect prompt action on this matter to rectify the violation of my rights as per the law. Your cooperation in resolving this issue promptly will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint:
I have been trying to freeze my credit at Equifax for several weeks but no matter when I tried or how many times I tried, their system acknowledges it has my account but as soon as I try to start a credit freeze, it states " We are temporarily unable to complete this request please try again later '' I tried to phone but my hearing is bad and the people answering the phone have foreign ( XXXX? ) accents and there is no way to " chat '' for people with hearing problems. 

Of course, I am not the only one that has problems with Equifax. When searching with the error code I found at https XXXX XXXX that over a thousand people  have horrible problems with this company and a 1 star rating based on the last 94 ratings.

I had no problem at all at XXXX   and XXXXXXXX doing the same thing! 

As far as this company standard answer is concerned to " send copies of valid driver 's license, social security card, 1099 form by US mail '' this is a very unsafe way to have someone note the address and open that letter to steal your identity! 

Why is their support based in XXXX and not the XXXX? That is very unsafe. No wonder they had the massive security breach last year.
