Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (OH)

I have been trying to remove credit inquiries for over a year now, Equifax is not fulfilling its obligations. Equifax 's initial decision was to remove credit inquiries from my report, but they were not removed later, citing the fact that I allegedly did not fill out the complaint on the CFPB website, which is already questionable. Then I complained to the Arizona State Attorney, to which Equifax responded that they allegedly did not provide my identifying documents, which is an outright lie, Equifax had all the documents that were necessary. Equifax then referred to the fact that credit inquiries should only be removed through creditors. When creditors sent deletion requests to Equifax, these requests were rejected, which I have confirmation of, for example, the XXXX XXXX  sent a deletion request and Equifax refused to delete. Everything that is happening is a complete violation of my rights and laws, I demand that all credit inquiries that are fraudulent be immediately removed from my report.

Subject : Dispute Stall Tactic Regarding Signed Power of Attorney To Whom It May Concern, I am submitting this complaint due to the consumer reporting agency refusing to process my recent disputes, despite having received a valid and signed Power of Attorney ( POA ) document authorizing my representative to act on my behalf. They have sent a stall letter stating that they will not proceed because they " do not believe the dispute came from me. '' This claim is inaccurate and disregards the POA provided.

As a consumer, I am aware of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and it is unlawful for the credit reporting agency to coerce me into using their online or phone dispute options instead of honoring my submitted disputes. I respectfully request that the consumer reporting agency process my recent disputes as previously submitted.

Attached are the following supporting documents : My government-issued ID The signed Power of Attorney document Please investigate this matter and take the necessary steps to ensure my disputes are processed promptly. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Consumer Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX CFPB Complaint Against Experian for Refusing to Delete Outdated Address Complaint Summary : I am filing this complaint against Experian Information Solutions, Inc. for refusing to delete an outdated and inaccurate address from my credit report. Despite my formal requests to have the address removed, Experian has refused to act, stating that the address is attached to XXXX verified accounts. However, this address is no longer valid, and its continued reporting violates my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and other privacy laws. 

Details of the Issue : On XX/XX/24, I submitted a formal request to Experian to remove an outdated address from my credit file. The address is no longer my residence, and I requested that Experian delete it from my credit report. In response, Experian refused to remove the address, claiming that it is tied to XXXX verified accounts. I believe this reasoning is flawed, as the address is no longer relevant or accurate and should not be part of my credit file. 

Violations and Legal Concerns : Experians refusal to remove the outdated address violates the following legal provisions : 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) : This statute requires the exclusion of outdated or irrelevant personal information, including old addresses, from credit reports. 
15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) : This requires credit reporting agencies to follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy. 
Opt-out and privacy laws : I have a right to control the sharing of my personal information, including outdated addresses, under various privacy and opt-out provisions.
