The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) 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.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Im in the process of trying to get a house. I noticed on my identityiq account that some information was different on my Equifax report then XXXX  & XXXX  report. After a failed attempt of not being able to log into my account I called Equifax to report it.The security questions the representative asked me I couldnt answer the questions because I kept explaining that I have no knowledge of those accounts so someone must have stolen my identity. The rep said because I couldnt answer the questions he couldnt grant me access. This situation went on for a month. Last month I think it was XX/XX/XXXX, spoke with another representative. This representative did the same thing with the security questions Im explaining the same thing to her. She stated that I needed to send a copy of a form of ID, social security number, & a letter stating why I was sending the papers. I faxed the copies like she said. A few days later I still couldnt get into my account. I kept being told the same thing over and over. I called this morning explained to a representative name XXXX the situation. He then asked me two security questions. The first question was about me having a credit card and the credit limit. I explained to him the credit card I had years ago. He asked for the name of card so Im trying to scroll up phone to find it. So I told him the name. Then he became rude and started raising his voice saying NO WHAT IS THE ORIGINAL CREDITOR NAME? I said well you didnt say whats the original creditor name. I gave him the original creditor name. He then asked for my place of employment. I gave the name. He then said Ok Ms.unfortunately I will not be able to grant you access to the account because the answer for your job isnt up here. He then stated that I would to mail in a letter to request a copy of my credit report. I said sir I just told you at the beginning of the conversation that I had already done that. He looked it up and said O yea you sent it in but it was shredded because it wasnt legible. I stated that Ive feel like Im being sent all over the world just to get access to my account. I know that that their making sure they have the right person but like I kept explaining to them that someone has probably have stolen my identity because I have absolutely no knowledge of those questions that they were asking me. Everyone expect the representative XXXX was nice, but he was rude. This is very aggravating because I need access to my account because I am in the process of cleaning my credit and I need to know if someone has stolen my identity. 
Thanks
