Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

Today is Thursday, XX/XX/year>. I am writing to dispute certain information on my credit report. Despite my previous attempts to resolve this issue with the credit reporting agency, they have not addressed my request. I am requesting that you delete this inaccurate information within four days. This information is not reported by the other two credit reporting agencies, which is a clear violation of the requirement for maximum accuracy under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) .I have attached documents from other credit reporting agencies that prove there is no maximum accuracy being reported with this agency. There has to be a re investigation into these accounts. The credit reporting agency was required to investigate the account before furnishing on my consumer file but failed to do so. Please use the laws and codes that all credit reporting agencies are bound to follow by law as listed and explained below. I dont take my rights being violated lightly but a serious matter. 15 USC 1681 section 604 a section 2 states that " In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. '' ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) the financial institution and the Consumer reporting agencies Equifax XXXX XXXX XXXX do not have my consent to furnish this information and they surely do not have my written consent. Any and all consent to Equifax, XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX of information to credit agencies ) whether it be verbal, non-verbal, written, implied or otherwise is revoked. 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) states that " A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. '' ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) Never informed me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option. Not only that 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) states '' Except as authorized under subsection ( b ), no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years. '' This account is an adverse item they are reporting again without my permission which is against the law. 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A states " A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 15 U.S. Code 1681e states '' Every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681c of this title and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section 1681b of this title. Equifax and XXXX are not maintaining reasonable procedures. Also 12 CFR 1016.7 states that " A consumer may exercise the right to opt out at any time. '' I am opting out of your reporting services. 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ) ( B ) ( ii ) ( ili ) ( ii ) Notice to consumer If any information that has been deleted from a consumer 's file pursuant to subparagrap ( A ) is reinserted in the file, the consumer reporting agency shall notify the consumer of the reinsertion in writing not later than 5 business days after the reinsertion or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by any other means available to the agency.
