Dear Equifax Representative, I am writing to formally request the removal of fraudulent accounts, unauthorized inquiries, and inaccurate personal information from my credit report. Enclosed is a copy of my FTC Identity Theft Report, reference number XXXX, which documents the identity theft I have experienced. 

After thoroughly reviewing my Equifax report, I discovered several fraudulent, and incorrect personal details. The report lists incorrect employers under my name, including XXXX XXXX XXXX, and reflects an unfamiliar address at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, LA XXXX. Additionally, I identified numerous unauthorized inquiries and fraudulent accounts opened in my name, which include the following : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX These entries are the result of identity theft, and I am requesting that Equifax immediately remove the fraudulent, inquiries, and inaccurate personal information from my credit report. I also ask that you place a fraud alert on my file to help prevent further unauthorized activity. 

Please process this request promptly in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to receiving confirmation that these items have been removed. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX Phone : XXXX

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (PA)

My account with XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 

I demand the late payment reported in XXXX to be removed. 

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 

XXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Issue: Managing an account — Problem using a debit or ATM card
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (NJ)

On XX/XX/XXXX Chase advised of a possible fraudulent charge on my debit card. Upon checking the account I found, and reported to Chase that all charges debited on XX/XX/XXXX were fraudulent. A claim was established for a total of {$2300.00}. Claim Number : XXXX Card ending in : XXXX Claim related to account ending in : XXXX. 

Chase accepted and refunded two items ( ATM withdrawals of {$500.00} each ).

However they have since denied ( twice now ) to refund the remaining four items totalling {$1300.00} stating simply that " We found that the transaction ( s ) was processed according to the information you provided or was authorized. '' Supporting documents can be provided - I categorically confirm that none of these charges were made by me. My card was not stolen and has been in my possession at all times. 

The one anomaly is that Chase charged me a {$5.00} dollar fee on XX/XX/XXXX for a replacement card which I neither requested or received.

These can be combined On my credit report, you have shown incorrect accounts that should not be there at all. This is not only unjust to me, but it's also concerning, because I've never done or made any of the things you accuse me of. If you don't look into these accounts, I'll take legal action against you.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, XXXX XXXX XXXX  data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CO)

This company is engaging in securities fraud by unlawfully using my identity to extort me, and they have falsely reported a charge-off on my account. Under IRS regulations, specifically 26 U.S. Code 61 ( a ) ( 12 ), a charge-off or cancellation of debt ( COD ) is considered taxable income. The IRS requires that any forgiven debt over {$600.00} be reported as income using Form 1099-C, " Cancellation of Debt, '' unless certain exemptions apply. By misreporting this charge-off as merely a negative credit item without acknowledging the income implications, the company is violating both IRS tax reporting requirements and SEC regulations governing financial disclosures under Section 10 ( b ) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5, which prohibits fraudulent financial misrepresentations. Given these violations, the charge-off must be deleted from my credit report, as it inaccurately reflects the financial transaction and misrepresents taxable income.
