This was never added to Equifax credit report which is clearly a violation. 

6. In general. If a person has requested a consumer report relating to a consumer from a consumer reporting agency described in section 603 ( p ), the request includes an address for the consumer that substantially differs from the addresses in the file of the consumer, and the agency provides a consumer report in response to the request, the consumer reporting agency shall notify the requester of the existence of the discrepancy. 

You are reporting multiple addresses for me after I asked for inaccurate addresses to be removed and also reporting XXXX XXXX XXXX as my name which is inaccurate and a violation.

I also was not able to location an address for the above mentioned creditor ; XXXX  on your credit report which is a violation. 
2. Notification of consumer dispute in subsequent consumer reports. When- ever a statement of a dispute is filed, unless there is reasonable grounds to believe that it is frivolous or irrelevant, the consumer reporting agency shall, in any subsequent report containing the information in question, clearly note that it is disputed by the consumer and provide either the con- sumers statement or a clear and accurate codification or summary thereof. 
I have included a copy of your report that does not indicate that I have disputed this account and the accuracy of the information being reported which is a violation. 

1. Duty to provide notice of dispute.
