Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

Ive noticed several unfamiliar items on my credit report that I believe may indicate identity theft, as I did not authorize these accounts. I've raised this issue before, and Im now requesting that these accounts be removed from my report as soon as possible. Their presence is causing me significant stress and misrepresents my true credit history and financial management. If we cant resolve this matter promptly, I may have to consider legal action to protect my rights and seek a solution. These inaccuracies are seriously hindering my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as buying a home and supporting my family. I hope we can address this issue quickly. Thank you.

I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified accounts listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct.

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verified that these accounts are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly CORRECT or DELETE all information which can not be verified.

Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non-complying with the FCRA.

Since you claim youve verified the accounts listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the banks directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof. So, my question comes up again, WHO VERIFIED THESE ACCOUNTS? I believe you have not verified these accounts based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( XXXX ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy. 

Please CORRECT the accounts, or inaccurate information, from my file immediately XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX

I am stressed and displeased that I see so many fraudulent accounts on my credit report. This is really damaging my credit worthiness. I am trying to buy a home for me and my family and this is not fair. I have tried several times to get these accounts removed. Let alone, my information was in a XXXX & XXXX breach some months ago so I thought you all would protect my consumer report. I do not feel that my information is being protected. This is a defamation to my character and this is a federal law violation. According to, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) my consumer report fairness and privacy has been violated. I am upset!! I am depending on the banking system and credit reporting agency to promote my privacy and fairness and they have not. This is not right and going against my federal consumer rights. This is causing emotional and mental stress as of now. Also it is illegal these companies should NOT be furnisher people 's information to 3rd party companies so this is illegal, neglect and fraud. I have already reported this to the local police department and Federal Trade Commission. These companies and the credit bureaus can be can get sued for these damages. This is negatively effecting my livelihood and putting me in a bad space. I feel your database is inaccurate and I am filing ligation against this if these items aren't removed immediately

I have items passed on that should be taken out or removed. Per FCRA segment 605, Credit Bureaus are expected to eliminate any records recorded on an ID THEFT REPORT. I've proactively remembered this report from a past letter and I am including it once more. I've educated my lawyer regarding my aims and they are eager to consider that Credit Bureaus are responsible for their tenacious rebelliousness.

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.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Problem with personal statement of dispute
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (OH)

Im reaching out to you because Im at my wits end with Experian and XXXX. Despite providing them with everything under the sunpolice reports, identity theft affidavits, and even proof that XXXX already removed the fraudulent accountthey still refuse to remove this bogus debt from my credit report. 

Heres the situation : I was a victim of identity theft, and someone used my information to purchase a vehicle in Ohio while I was living in XXXX. I have never, and would never, buy a car from another state while residing in a different one. Ive explained this to Experian and XXXX multiple times, and I even backed it up with documentation proving I wasnt living in Ohio at the time. Yet, here we are. 

XXXX, after their investigation, immediately recognized this account as fraudulent and removed it from my credit report. But for some reason, Experian and XXXX are dragging their feet. To make matters worse, I just received a collection letter from a third-party agency trying to collect {$28000.00} on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX for this same fraudulent debt. This is crushing my credit, and I cant use my credit for anything because of it. 

Im particularly frustrated because of the recent response I received from Experian. They told me to check my credit report for the results of my dispute. The problem is, Im not convinced theyve done any real investigation on their end. It feels like theyre just brushing me off, which is why Im turning to you.

Theres also something I want to bring to your attention. In XXXX XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, the court made it clear that if one credit bureau removes inaccurate information after a proper investigation, the others must follow suit. So, why are Experian and XXXX still reporting this fraudulent account when XXXX has already removed it? It doesnt make sense, and its completely unfair. 

I hope you can help me get this resolved. Ive been through enough with this identity theft mess, and its about time these credit bureaus did the right thing. This is about more than just my credit score ; its about getting my life back on track without this unjust burden hanging over me. 

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I look forward to your response and hope this complaint brings some much-needed resolution.
