Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (ND)

I am filing this complaint against Equifax for unlawfully refusing to provide me with my credit report under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) which violates 15 U.S.C. 1681g unless I provide my SSN XXXX  and a copy of the very address they sent a rather deceptive letter trying to gather information instead of supplying me my credit report after I demanded a copy of my report via the CFPB portal. ( See attached ) I didnt provide any information, so Im very curious as to what your company is referring to? 
XXXX. What documents are you referring to? 
XXXX. What was illegible? 
Furthermore, any information that you dont have or doesnt match is NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY. Im not doing your job for you. 
In addition to violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ), Equifaxs demand for my Social Security number violates privacy principles outlined in The Privacy Act of 1974 ( 5 U.S.C. 552a ), which establishes that individuals can not be forced to provide a Social Security number as a condition for receiving benefits or services unless required by law. Equifax has no legal basis for conditioning access to my credit report on my providing my Social Security number. 
Regarding Category XXXX Current Address, I find it absolutely idiotic that you sent a document stating you wont give me a copy of my consumer credit report without verifying the exact address you sent the document to. 
Moreover if this interaction isnt enough " verification '', use my XXXX report. 
15 U.S.C. 1681g says upon request your company, a consumer reporting agency, shall clearly and accurately disclose what they have on file to the consumer. 
Your company is to immediately furnish a pdf copy of my consumer credit report to the email associated with my profile or directly to this portal, any further failure to do so and I will ask that the CFPB investigate Equifaxs refusal to comply with the law and impose fines and penalties under 15 U.S.C.1681n for will non-compliance, and any other damages deemed appropriate by the CFPB XXXX

Spoke with someone last year and they indicated that on my private loan I had a cosigner which was my father, I explained to them that my father as never co-signed anything for me and I do believe that the records were wrong and I do n't recall filling out for a private loan. So on  XXXX  -17 a na vient representative call me about a payment but I explain to her that I started a new job it would get my first full check until the end of this month I would n't be able to make a payment until next month. The representative talked all over me and ask could I pay them and hold off on my other bills, I told her no I could n't because the other bills were mortgage and lights. She then went on to say after  XX/XX/XXXX  I will be reported to the credit bureau and they will have to reached out to my father. Well I explain to her that my father never co-signed for me and I do n't even think this private loan is legit but no one has ever called me back with details or paper work showing if it was legit or not.

Company: Debt Recovery Solutions, LLC (NY)

I just received a letter from Debt Recovery Solutions , LLC DRS account # XXXX stating that I owe {$420.00} and the original creditor is XXXX. They are offering me a settlement of {$270.00}. i have spoken to this company a couple of times in the past and have advised I paid off my XXXX account back in XX/XX/XXXX. After I paid XXXX, I set up another account with them for a XXXX triple play package. In XX/XX/XXXX I hired a company called XXXX XXXX XXXX to assist me with removing items off my credit report that were either incorrect or past the statute of limitations. This was one of the items that was successfully removed. Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I applied for a mortgage and was informed that this debt is on my credit report as of XX/XX/XXXX. S they have again, put this back on my credit report after it was removed and after me telling them several times that I do n't have any past due debts with XXXX. I called and spoke with a gentleman name XXXX and advised him that I do n't owe this debt and that they need to update their records and to please stop harassing me with letters and phone calls. I have blocked their number to avoid getting the phone calls. This is not only stressful, but annoying because these people should not be able to put items back on your credit report after it 's been removed and after being told that the debt is no longer owed.

My credit report has items that have resulted from fraud which I never benefitted from. 
This is a defamation of my character and is incredibly insulting, my rights are being violated which is absolutely distressing. This is already reported to the Federal Trade Commission but it still appears on my report, what a disappointment, the very thing that exists to protect people like me yet nothing is resolved.
