Consumer complaint received 2020-04-22
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (AL)

There are negative accounts on my report that are mine but there are accounts that show up around the same time that clearly arent. If you did the investigation you claim to. You would see these accounts arent attached to any address I have lived at, they dont have my signature and they are attached to someone who opened an account in my name. Even XXXX  has acknowledged this fact.

I have provided FTC Affidavit.

I have explained my identity was stolen.

I have provided a police report.

The law is clear here. You are in violation of the FCRA 605B. This is my 3rd time writing to you, so you have multiple violations of the FCRA which I am willing to file a lawsuit. To save us both time and energy I am only asking for you to follow the law and remove these erroneous items from my report. 

Besides identity theft, my lawyer and I have found multiple violations. 

Addresses I have sent you bank statements and my drivers license proving my only address. Yet you still show multiple addresses I have never lived at. 

This is my only address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, AL XXXX How can someone live in 8 places at once? You have 4 different addresses that look similar. You are clearly getting me mixed up with someone else.

Personal Statement You put a personal statement on my report acknowledging my identity theft. You locked my credit report and you put a block on my credit report, but you did not remove the items that are the result of identity theft. Your bureau had months to investigate and find physical proof of me opening these accounts. You found none. You did not even reach out to the officer on the police report. Delete these items.

XXXX  XXXX XXXX - Dispute reason 1 : You claim the Credit limit is {$300.00} but you also say the amount owed is {$420.00} and then you say that the status balance is {$400.00}. This is confusing. Delete.

Dont try to sneakily change or update these issues on my credit report, delete them. I have my report as of XX/XX/XXXX. FCRA says you must remove inaccurately reported accounts. To change the item instead of deleting it will be a violation and I will have evidence for a civil suit.
