Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2022, I filed a complaint with the CFPB against Equifax for using personal information without written consent. I advised Equifax that they violated XXXX5 USC 1681 b ( a ) ( 2 ). On August 3, 2022, I learned Equifax has misused my personal information. Equifax has caused intentional harm to me by providing false and inaccurate information to lenders in response to a credit extension request. I am filing this complaint to DEMAND Equifax terminate the usage of my personal information and any information pertaining to me ; name, social security number, birthdate i.e. without written consent from myself. At this time Equifax has in their possession zero written consent and zero affidavits from me to permit furnishing, distributing, or selling any information on my behalf. I have given zero consent to mishandle any information given to Equifax by any party. Harm has now been done to me because my information was illegally and unlawfully misused. I seek the amount of {$550000.00} ; or what is ordered as the highest payout from any judgment against Equifax concerning issuing wrong credit scores or issuing misinformation to lenders, as a remedy.

Complaint:
I have tirelessly tried to resolve this matter with this collection company but to no avail.

I sent them by certified return receipt mail a debt validation letter dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX, which they conveniently ignored. Concurrently when I disputed the item with the credit repositories, I was told that the debt collection company responded back to them affirming that this account was valid.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
Equifax ( a company I never directly engaged with ) has obtained large amounts of my personal information and mishandled it by not implementing effective defensive cyber security tactics and left certain critical pieces of their public facing web infrastructure in a vulnerable state. 

These ineffective security practices have been exploited and have put me and over 100 million other people at risk of fraud and identify theft that can cause meaningful harm.
I am listed as a potential victim according to their equifaxsecurity2017.com website, and would like a resolution. I find their offering of a single year of credit monitoring and protection to be ineffective, as the stolen data can be used at any time ( far longer than just for one year from when it was stolen ) and can be used in a damaging way against all affected people forever.
