Complaint:
Im at wits end. I have no idea what is going on over there at the CFPB. You claim Im not the one submitting it. This to me is crazy. This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint being filed by a third party, I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law. So Im submitting it again hopefully for the last time. XXXX and Equifax have been not complying with Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I submitted a complaint/dispute about the information listed below. I was the victim of identity theft & the account listed below was opened fraudulently & without my knowledge, consent or authority. I provided them with documents which demonstrated this legal issue but they have ignored this documents. They claim they verified the account without providing me with any legal documents, contracts or verifiable proof they were opened by me. They are not adhering to section 605b by blocking or removing it from my report. Additionally they are violating sections 616 & 617 for willful noncompliance & negligence. I need this account blocked/removed from my credit file per FCRA.

Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( which complies with FCRA Section 603 ( q ) ( 4 ) which states ( 4 ) The term " identity theft report '' has the meaning given that term by rule of the Bureau, and means, at a minimum, a report ( A ) that alleges an identity theft ; ) ( B ) that is a copy of an official, valid report filed by a consumer with an appropriate Federal, State, or local law enforcement agency, including the United States Postal Inspection Service, or such other government agency deemed appropriate by the Bureau ; and ( C ) the filing of which subjects the person filing the report to criminal penalties relating to the filing of false information if, in fact, the information in the report is false. ) The following report included this language but XXXX Equifax are neglecting to process it to the letter of the law. Please see they are held accountable for as this is impacting my life in emotional, physical & financially... and I would truly not what to pursue a legal remedy ... and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove this file. If you feel there is a possibility this account belong to me I require all documentation that bears my signature ( another research item I found that requires you to verify with 100 % accuracy that each account is 100 % true, accurate, correct, complete & VERIFIABLE ). If you do not provide any records & claim the item is verified please understand I will seek legal action. I do not take kindly to games nor does my attorney. SO please comply with the law so this matter can be handled swiftly. This account ( s ) is unknown to me. Also, the information you provided on this account is DELETED from other bureaus and I have doubts in their accuracy and the reported payment history on this account is a mystery to me. As required by FCRA 605B ( c ) ( 1 ) ( C ) Authority to decline or rescind.
