Complaint sub-issue: Other problem getting your report or credit score

Equifax is not allowing me to see my full credit report and score. Seeing that my credit is of the utmost importance to me. This is affecting my ability to move forward with important matters that can further my life. This is very frustrating, especially during pandemic times. I am unable to access my full credit report.. Attached in this dispute are my verifying documents. A copy of drivers license and ssn card. 




I ( XXXX XXXX ) am a victim of Identity Theft. I have experience tough and egregious hardships because someone has stolen my identity. I can not get credit anywhere. This has ruined my life. I lost my job last year and tried to refinance my house and car, I was told sorry, we can not help you. I filed a police report last year on ( XX/XX/2021 ) ( report XXXX XXXX ) with ( XXXX XXXX Police Department. I, ve also mailed in certified letters to Equifax Certified mail receipt code ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ). I received nothing. I'm also sure my information was leaked due to the information breach with Equifax. I was instructed to go to XXXX. I was prompted to enter my last name and the last six digits of my social security number, at that point I saw that my information was compromised due to Equifax security breach.The thieves even went as far as filing fraudulent income taxes on my behalf! The thieves are continuing to use my credit. Ive faxed all 3 bureaus, as well as called them, At this point I have hired a Consumer lawyer to assist me in this matter ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX PA XXXX ) He notice several instances where Equifax are in non-compliance with the FCRA. Im a victim but yet Im treated as if Im nothing. Equifax continues to report Fraudulent accounts and inquiries to my credit report and I want it to stop Immediately! Please note that I have already opted out of arbitration and have supporting documents and proof to support all my claims. I am sure that Equifax did not go through the original furnisher to verify these accounts are mine and they have to do so under the FCRA.If they did verify, they would have realized immediately that I have no clue of these accounts and they do not belong to me. Failure to notify me that Equifax will be reinserting an item on my credit report in writing FCRA ( A ) ( 5 ) ( B ) ( iii ) results in {$1000.00} fine. As Equifax has violated the FCRA.. Equifax has refused to removed fraudulent accounts after I provided proof. This is considered defamation of character and willful injury. under the FCRA section 623. I plan of taking full legal action if accounts are not removed by ( XX/XX/2021 ). 

*****only correct name on credit report should be spelled as followed ( XXXX XXXX ) Any other name or mispelling should be removed immediately. 

***** ( FRAUDULENT ADDRESSES ) ***** XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX ***** ( FRAUDULENT ACCOUNTS ) ***** XXXX XXXX  XXXX  Original creditor : XXXX XXXX  XXXX  {$650.00} Balance updated XX/XX/2021 XXXX Collection opened XX/XX/2021 ***** ( FRAUDULENT INQUIRIES ) ***** These individual are all apart of our lawsuit and will be named individually in our case.
