Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than XXXX  days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

As a protected consumer under federal law, specifically the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am disputing several unauthorized inquiries on my credit report. These inquiries appear on my report without my knowledge or consent, raising concerns about potential identity theft or a violation of my rights under the FCRA. According to FCRA Permissible Purposes ( Section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ) ) it requires credit reporting agencies to have a " permissible purpose '' to provide your report. Unauthorized inquiries wouldn't fall under any permissible purpose. Remove these unauthorized inquiries immediately from my credit file.

My account with Equifax was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX  and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 


This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 


I demand the late payment reported to be removed. 


They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 


15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


Equifax Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). 


I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 


Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

I have made repeated efforts to address the issue of unauthorized inquiries on my consumer report, but to no avail. These inquiries are entirely unrelated to me and I am not accountable for them. Their presence has resulted in considerable emotional and financial strain. As an identity theft victim, I may have to resort to legal action if this matter is not properly resolved. These erroneous and fraudulent entries on my consumer report have obstructed my plans to purchase my ideal home and provide for my family 's necessities. The effect on my financial health has been profound. For your reference, I have enclosed a copy of my previous correspondence to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) detailing this issue and seeking a resolution.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (IL)

On my recent XXXX credit report, I discovered that Equifax has inaccurately added 16 inquiries belonging to someone else and in the process they backdating them from XX/XX/XXXX, to XX/XX/XXXX. 

These inquiries are XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

It is impossible for these inquiries to be mine as each one of them have a reporting date from XXXX and my credit report had no inquiries from the prior years as well as no inquiries as of XX/XX/XXXX, through XX/XX/XXXX. 

XXXX actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which mandates that credit reporting agencies follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy of the information on a consumers credit report. 

I demand the immediate removal of these erroneous inquiries from my credit report
