This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint filed by a third party. I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law. Transunion had completed nothing to correct my Credit Report and eliminate the Fraudulent Information totally from my Credit File. I have been sending uncountable letters appealing to Transunion to confirm the disputed items and take out them if unable to show that the Items are mine. I have been a victim of Identity Theft and the items I am disputing do not narrate to any business that I have made or approved. Neither did I obtain any ownership of goods, money, services, nor profits from the Theft of my Identity. I have read that Transunion is guaranteed to fulfil with the FCRA regulation section 605b but regardless of all my labours to notify Transunion about the theft of my Individuality and that the items were never mine, the Transunion never feel a concern nor paid any care to my Disputes. They became neglectful of the FCRA law and continued reporting this information on my File without Proper Confirmation or Examination. I came to a decision that the Credit Bureaus are not frightened to break the Federal law thus they took to be slothful and abandoned my appeals. I am determined to take legal action against them but I will be lavish enough to give Transunion couple more chances to verify me wrong about my conclusion. I have attached my FTC report and Police Report I filed on my local Police Department for your reference. Once again, I am urging Transunion to get rid of the following items completely from my File with or without appropriate verification since the time set to the Credit Bureaus to examine was already done. I need the following Items removed now!

EQUIFAX I am the natural living man, Executor, trustee, beneficiary and legal copyright owner of the said name as shown on my social security card and birth certificate, and all other variations of such name/entity. I have sent the necessary documents proving my sole ownership. EQUIFAX has yet to respond to my request/dispute and it has been well over 30 days since the notice has been received by EQUIFAX which is a direct violation of 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). According to my congressional findings Pursuant of 15 USC 1681b ( 2 ) - A consumer has the right to DEMAND remedy by means of written or oral communication. In addition, based on the due diligence I have done, according to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) - Congressional findings and statements of purpose : The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. As EQUIFAX would know, there is a need to ensure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the for the consumers right to privacy. I am afraid that EQUIFAX has not been exercising their grave responsibilities that were given to them, nor performing reasonable procedures for meeting the needs of the commerce for consumer credit, personnel, insurance, and other information in a manner which is fair and equitable to me, the consumer, regarding the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy, and proper utilization of such information in accordance with the requirements of 15 USC 1681b Reasonable Procedures. I have remained humble throughout these past couple of years despite all the stress, abuse, and harm that EQUIFAX has caused me. I have had enough of the abuse and unfair practices from EQUIFAX. Pursuant of 15 USC 1681b ( 2 ), I did not give EQUIFAX any form of written instructions to accept, furnish, or report any information on my behalf. By the powers vested in me by the TRUE living GOD, I hereby DEMAND that all Negative accounts, Late Payments, Inquiries, Delinquencies, Charge Offs, that was not Authorized or Verified by me, the consumer, in written format to be Updated IMMEDIATELY according to 15 USC 1692g ( a ) ( 4 ).

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

I am writing to request your assistance with a serious issue concerning Equifaxs failure to comply with federal regulations regarding the accuracy and verification of information on my credit report. I have discovered several charge-offs and transactions on my credit report that I believe are inaccurate and have not been properly verified by Equifax. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681i, credit reporting agencies are required to investigate and verify disputed information. Equifax has not provided the necessary verification documents for these charge-offs within the legally mandated timeframe.

Additionally, 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( a ) ( 2 ) states that any report should contain information solely related to transactions and experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. This implies that charge-offs reported by Equifax must be based on verified and documented transactions. However, Equifaxs failure to provide such documentation suggests a violation of this provision.

Furthermore, 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) outlines that a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under certain permissible purposes, and only with written authorization from the consumer. I have not authorized any creditor to add negative, inaccurate, or harmful information to my consumer report. 
Moreover, the provisions of 15 U.S.C. 6802 require financial institutions to disclose the potential for sharing personal information and provide an opt-out option. Equifaxs lack of compliance with these requirements further undermines the integrity of the reported information.

The charge-offs in question appear to be in direct violation of these legal requirements. As such, I am entitled to seek damages for this willful non-compliance, as stipulated under 15 U.S.C. 1681n, which allows for a claim of {$1000.00} in damages for each instance of non-compliance. 
I request the CFPBs intervention to ensure that Equifax adheres to these legal standards by removing the inaccurately reported charge-offs from my credit report immediately. Enclosed are copies of my correspondence with Equifax and relevant documentation pertaining to my disputes. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your assistance in resolving this issue and restoring the accuracy of my credit report.
