Equifax XXXX XXXX are keeping unauthorized inquires from the following companies on my credit report, XXXX has removed all inquires in question. 

REQUEST TO REMOVE UNAUTHORIZED CREDIT INQUIRIES Inquiry made by : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Inquiry made on : XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to dispute the following information in my file. I recently received a copy of my credit report, and I notice there are unauthorized credit inquiries made by the company ( s ) listed above. To my knowledge, I have not signed any documents authorizing the company ( s ) in question to view my credit report. The listed inquiries were without authorization, and for no legitimate business purposes. As such, it is a very serious error in reporting. I never authorized such action, and this constitutes a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act 604 as well as a violation of my rights to privacy. I am requesting your credit bureau to initiate an investigation and to determine responsible parties in these unauthorized credit inquiries. As part of your investigation, please send the names, business addresses, and phone numbers of those who made unauthorized credit inquiries so I may contact them directly. In addition, I respectfully request a copy of any documents authorizing credit inquiry, and signed on my behalf, so that I may verify its validity. If you find that I was not the one who authorized this inquiry, I ask that it be removed immediately from my credit file. Please be so kind as to forward me documentation that you have had the unauthorized inquiries removed. If you find that I am in error, then please send me proof of this. Finally, I am requesting an updated copy of my credit report, which should be sent to the address listed above. According to the provisions of 612 ( 15 USC 1681j ), there should be no charge for this report. Your immediate attention to this matter is appreciated.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
I am sending presenting this complaint on my own behalf, as a natural person, consumer, and without any connection to a third party. 


There are late payments inaccurately reporting on my credit report and file. It is your grave responsibility to be reporting correct and accurate information on my credit report and file. 


These are incorrect and supposed to be reported as PAID AS AGREED. Furthermore, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ), a consumer report does NOT contain information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. A transaction constitutes late payments- resulting in XXXX violating my federally protected consumer rights. Additionally, I did NOT give XXXX written instruction/permission to furnish these inaccurate late payments on my consumer report or file, violating 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ). 


The inaccurate reporting of these late payments has caused me and my reputation severe harm and discrimination. Please correct your records and have ALL of these inaccurately reporting late payments changed to the correct status of PAID AS AGREED immediately. 

I was the victim of a scam and I'm still having trouble because of that.

Company: I.C. System, Inc.
State: CA
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
I have been experiencing issues with I.C. Systems regarding an alleged debt that they have been reporting on my consumer report. The debt amount is listed as {$1500.00}, and I have been disputing its validity since XXXX of 2022. Despite multiple attempts to request verification of this debt, I.C. Systems has not provided any supporting documentation to prove its validity. 

On XXXX, I sent my XXXX and final letters to XXXX XXXX I.C. Systems, requesting proof of the alleged debt and how they determined it meets the requirements for reporting. However, they have continuously disregarded my letters and have persistently reported the debt to my consumer report without providing any verification. Additionally, I successfully submitted a complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) complaint # XXXX about this unverifiable debt approximately a month ago. Logged in to the CFPB portal today to check the status but somehow my complaint can not be found. I.C. Systems has continued to report the debt XXXX more times within a two-week period. The most recent update was reported on XXXX, XXXX and XXXX I believe that I.C. Systems ' actions are in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Their failure to provide adequate verification and their continuous reporting of an unverified debt have negatively impacted my creditworthiness and caused unnecessary distress. 

I am seeking resolution in the form of a cease reporting, where I.C. Systems immediately stops reporting this unverified debt to my consumer report until they can provide adequate proof of its validity. I request that they comply with the FCRA and FDCPA regulations to ensure accurate and lawful reporting practices. If they fail to cease reporting within a reasonable time frame, I request that appropriate fines be imposed on I.C. Systems, amounting to {$1000.00} for each day the unverified debt remains on my consumer report.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I hope for a swift resolution to address these violations. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX.
