Complaint:
My information was impacted by the Equifax data breach and many different fraudulent items that i don't recognize have shown up on my credit report. 

I did not consent to authorize the sharing of my non public information. The reporting of the information is NOT fair and equitable to me as the consumer. 
15 USC 1681 section 602 A states I have the right to privacy.

15 USC 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions.

15 U.S.C 1681c. ( a ) ( 5 ) Section States : no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years.

15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) 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.

I did not authorize these accounts to be taken out in my name nor they relate to anything I did. I'm unaware of any of this. All is being investigated by the FTC. 

Also, they aren't even in compliance with Metro 2 credit reporting. I have evidence to prove my case!

It is essential that all data included in a consumer 's file is properly documented and validated before it is made available for use by creditors. Therefore, I take this matter seriously. The allegations of delinquency and derogatory information against me are entirely false, I won't stand for any misinformation being associated with my name and fiancial history and I am determined to FIGHT back with ALL my strength! The accuracy of your credit report is crucial. The allegations listed do not meet the federal or state requirements for reporting and can not be substantiated. I challenge these claims due to their failure to comply with basic reporting standards, which would provide me with greater confidence in the accuracy of the information presented. It is your responsibility to maintain and report data with complete accuracy and compliance. You must not report any claims that you know do not meet regulatory requirements. It is crucial that we ensure all claims are accurate and reported in the appropriate format as mandated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and reporting standards such as METRO 2. I kindly request that you handle this matter with utmost care and diligence.
