I have been in contact with each credit reporting agency since XX/XX/2021. After a few letters and a phone call to each I have decided to file this complaint. A overload of hard inquiries not authorized by me need to be removed. At no time do the companies nor the credit reporting agencies have permission to list this on my consumer report. The real fraud are the companies and credit reporting agencies not following consumer laws and taking the power from the me as the consumer.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MA)

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 Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.
