Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Complaint:
I'm sending this complaint to inform AGAIN the credit bureau that I was a victim of Identity Theft. It seems the credit bureau doesn't care at all that I want to dispute unauthorized items that are reported on my credit report. Since this is a strict violation of FCRA laws I need the items removed from my file as soon as possible.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Public record information inaccurate

Complaint:
I have reached out to this company on several occasions only to find that Equifax is by definition committing FRAUD against me as a consumer. Fraud defined : wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain. See below for how their actions are criminal and fraud.

" 611 - 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information ( A ) In general. If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( XXXX ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation; and ( ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer. '' Equifax was given an opportunity to correct the errors of a public record on my credit report. They were provided with the Unverifiable results and deletion from XXXX XXXX that was completed on XX/XX/2023. As of XX/XX/XXXX, Equifax claims to have completed a " XXXX '' of the disputed item and verified as accurate through their third-party vendor XXXX XXXX. As you'll see in the attachments, XXXX XXXX deleted the Public Record Bankruptcy from my credit file because it was UNVERIABLE on XXXX XXXX. 
This equates to FRAUD and goes completely against the FCRA which is not a guideline, it is the governing law they must abide by. The public record must be removed immediately. 

The FCRA on this topic provides me as a consumer with the right to complete, accurate, and fair reporting. I requested the information as to what third party vendor was used to verify this public record so that I could attempt to correct it at the source. The courts deny speaking with the credit reporting company, XXXX  denies reporting any information to them, and XXXX XXXX deleted the unverifiable information which this company claims to use as their third-party verification. So, if Equifax is verifying this fraud as accurate and not using the XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX or XXXX XXXX. Who are they using for method of verification? Simply put, Equifax has lied and needs to correct this immediately by deleting this Public Record Bankruptcy off of my credit report using my SSN.

Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
Hi CFPB Team, I have been trying to resolve this account issue with Transunion, XXXX, XXXX as well as DPEDXXXX, but to no avail. I have a credit card reporting on my credit that has late payments. This was never the case. Each time that I submit a dispute for the bureaus to correct these billing errors. They have not changed the status of the account to good standing. The economy is not getting better and interest rates are rising. These late payments that are being reported to my file are holding me back from receiving the best interest rates that are available today. I am depressed and distressed by this negative information being reported. This is my last attempt to dispute this before taking legal action towards these bureaus.

RE : State, ex Rel. Attorney General as Notice of Rescission of Signature for Cease and Desist caused by Predatory Debt Collection Operation, I am writing to shed light on a company that I feel is operating unfairly. I see this as unfair and it appears deceptive. I feel I was targeted for unauthorized use of my signature caused by making false and misleading representations due to engaging in various abusive and unfair practices. I am able to fight this but what about the elderly and the infirm who depend on these products or services and are taken advantage of by this type of financing for alleged debts. I do think this is an unfair practice for all consumers. This builds distrust. I will never do business with this dishonorable company again as I feel they failed to provide validation of debts, proof for legally binding signature as a valid contract, and lack of due process as adequate notification of contract changes. This pattern of dishonest practice acts, although maybe legal, is not fair. Please take a look at this companys practices as adverse actions. Please feel free to forward and share this deprivation of rights complaint with the Office of the Comptroller of Currency for full-scale and complete intensive investigations. I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on todays date.
