I discovered on each of the XXXX credit bureaus a credit card account that I never approved to be opened. Once I received it in the mail on XX/XX/XXXX I immediately called SYNCB/AMAZON letting them know they had made a mistake & I didnt want the card. They said theyd take care of it but I had no idea they registered as an open account & then a closed account staying on my credit report. This is affecting my overall credit history from where it should be. 

I am in the process of closing on a new home & pulled my reports to find this error. I contacted all 3 bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, & XXXX  ) on XX/XX/XXXX & they all put in disputes to have it removed but said it could take 30 days, but I could try to expedite the process by reaching out to SYNCB/AMAZON so on the same day XX/XX/XXXX I contacted them but they said they could not expedite it for me & it would take up to 45 days. I told them I do not have up to 45 days as the contract on this home is pending & I'm trying to get the absolute best rates but they didnt seem to care about us losing out on this home. We have now lost out on that home & am looking at another house now. Please help get this expedited to be removed immediately, thank you.

EQUIFAX has a history that dates back to its founding in XXXX. Originally established as the XXXX XXXX XXXX by XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX, the company 's primary focus was to gather credit information and provide credit reports to local businesses and retailers. In that time of history I am aware that EQUIFAX had participated in massive privacy violations reporting information on consumers based on religion, XXXX XXXX, marital saturates and much more. Through the immense criticism and backlash that EQUIFAX has received threw out its history it was forced to change its name from XXXX to EQUIFAX deriving from the meaning EQUILITY and FACTUAL. EQUIFAX only came into existence in XXXX  and consumer reports have been around for centuries. EQUIFAX constant violations towards Federally Protected Consumers had caused The United States Congress to pass The Fair Credit Reporting Act aka FCRA demanding and regulating EQUIFAX to perform ALL DUTIES and RESPONSIBILITIES with RESPECT, INTEGRITY and ACCURACY to the consumer. Congress within the FCRA has clearly and directly classified EQUIFAX as an ELABORATE MECHANISM who has ASSUMED ( see 15 USC 1681 ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ) its role to gather my personal identifying information and furnish a consumer report without my consent nor PERMISSIBLE PURPOSE 15 USC 1692b. EQUIFAX you have abused me by violating my Federally Protected Right to PRIVACY and have furnished information on my behalf without permissible purpose as CONGRESS has demanded you need and you have WILLINGLY without LAWFUL GONGRESSIONAL AUTHORITY have chosen to furnish negative information on my behalf that has negatively impacted my reputation causing me to lose credit opportunities and the ability to EXERCISE MY RIGHT TO CREDIT which is a clear and direct violation under TITTLE 18 USC 242. This is a FACT because CONGRESS under the Fair Credit Reporting Act due to your abusive practices in your earlier years has clearly and directly demanded you to EXCLUDE ALL TRANSACTIONAL ACCOUNT INFORMATION INCLUDING EXPERIENCES from a consumer report see TITTLE 15 USC 1681a ( 1 ) ( 2 ). EQUIFAX YOU HAVE WILLINGLY WENT AGAINST YOUR CONGRESSIONAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES AND WILLINGLY FURNISHED INFORMATION ON MY CONSUMER REPORT CONGRESS DEMANDS YOU EXCLUDE HURTING MY REPUTATION AND ABILITY TO EXERCISE MY RIGHT TO CREDIT FALLING DIRECTLY IN VIOLATION UNDER TITTLE 18 USC 242 FOR DEPRIVING ME OF A RIGHT. I HAVE REQUESTED IN ABUNDANCE TO HAVE THESE ACCOUNTS REMOVED UNDER CONGRESS REQUIREMENTS AND YOU HAVE IGNORED ME AND HAVE NOT SETTLED IN GOOD FAITH. I AM DONE DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE AND YOU ARE LIABLE UNDER TITTLE 15 USC 1681n AND TITTLE 15 USC 1681o FOR WILLFUL AND NEGLIGENCE HARM TO A CONSUMER DEPRIVING THE CONSUMER OF A FEDERALLY PROTECTED RIGHT VIOLATING TITTLE 18 USC 242.

I recently submitted a request for investigation of the above noted accounts, which you denied. I submitted sufficient information for you perform a reasonable investigation of my dispute. Unfortunately, you neglected to do so. If you had investigated properly the results would have proven that I have never been late on these accounts though your company claims to have verified these. Depending solely on your flawed e-Oscar system has proven to produce less than accurate and fair information. I request that you take a more active and accurate approach to investigate this for me. As in XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), and XXXX XXXX XXXX, Equifax, et al, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldn't merely " parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have to conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty/integrity of the creditor/CA in question. Sending out a generic form letter through the e-Oscar system that does not even contain my reasons for the dispute is by no ones measure reasonable.

I am filing this complaint regarding the failure of Equifax, XXXX and XXXX to properly investigate my disputes related to incorrect negative information on my credit report. Despite multiple attempts to resolve these inaccuracies, the credit bureaus have responded with stall tactics rather than conducting a thorough investigation as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 


The presence of these inaccurate negative items on my credit report has adversely affected my credit score and my ability to obtain credit. This has caused significant stress and financial hardship.

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.
