Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MA)

Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am reaching out to you in a state of utter desperation. The inaccuracies on my credit report have shattered my dreams, torn apart my sense of security, and left me in a constant state of anxiety. My life is unraveling before my eyes, and I dont know where else to turn. 

I recently filed complaints ( Complaint IDs : XXXX, XXXX, XXXX ) concerning several accounts that are inaccurately reported on my credit file. Despite my best efforts, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX have told me they can not even find my accounts, leaving me helpless in providing details that I dont have. How can I defend myself against something they claim doesnt exist? 

Because of these errors, my life is falling apart. The car I need to go to work and the home Ive dreamt of owning are both slipping through my fingers. I am mentally and emotionally broken. The weight of this situation is unbearable, and I fear that it could destroy everything Ive worked so hard to build. 

The accounts in question are as follows : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX These accounts are wrongly holding me XXXX, violating my federally protected rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681. I reviewed my XXXX credit report on XXXX XXXX XXXX, and was devastated to find glaring inaccuracies that are completely beyond my control. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 USC 1681 ( e ) ( b ), consumer reporting agencies are legally required to follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information in consumer reports. Additionally, under 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ), if disputed information is found to be inaccurate or unverifiable, it must be promptly deleted or corrected. And yet, despite these clear legal protections, I remain trapped in this nightmare.

Furthermore, under 15 USC 1681s-2, furnishers are prohibited from providing information they know or have reasonable cause to believe is inaccurate. And yet, my life is being destroyed by false information that continues to haunt me. 

My Previous Complaint Details : Complaint ID : XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX ID : XXXX ( XXXX ) Complaint ID : XXXX ( Equifax ) These complaints remain unresolved, and the inaccuracies persist, wreaking havoc on my life. I am begging youplease, remove this inaccurate information from my credit report. I feel like Im drowning in a sea of injustice, with no way out. This is not just a matter of numbers on a report ; this is my life, my future, and my sanity at stake. I can not bear this burden any longer. 

Please help me fix this before its too late. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

I am writing as a protected consumer under federal law to report serious violations by the three major credit reporting agencies : Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX. Despite providing proof of my address and identification, these agencies have unlawfully reported unauthorized accounts on my consumer report without my written consent, in violation of 15 USC 1681b. This unauthorized reporting amounts to identity theft and libel per se, constituting defamation of character. Additionally, these agencies have engaged in aggravated identity theft by contacting third parties with my private information, violating 18 USC 1028A and 15 USC 1681A ( 3 ).

Furthermore, they have failed to meet the requirement for maximum accuracy in reporting, violating 15 USC 1681e ( b ) and 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ). My previous disputes and complaints have been ignored or inadequately addressed, demonstrating noncompliance with FCRA obligations. I have submitted proof of certified mail receipt.I demand the immediate deletion of the inaccurate accounts and a free copy of my updated credit report.

Dispute Authorization and Multiple Violations of Fair Credit Reporting Act I '' hereby authorize this dispute. It is important to note that this dispute was not sent by an unauthorized third party or credit clinic, '' I am writing to address the ongoing violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) that have yet to be resolved, despite my previous dispute letter. The violations are as follows : FCRA Section 607 ( a ) ( 4 ) - Consumer Right to Privacy : You are continuing to report fraudulent accounts on my credit report that do not belong to me, which is a clear infringement upon my privacy rights. As I mentioned before, I have the sole authority to determine what information should be considered private. I insist that my hard inquiries and account information not be shared on my credit report. FCRA Section 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) - Misleading False Reporting : The information you continue to report falsely suggests that I applied for multiple inquiries and accounts, when in reality, these were the result of a scammer 's actions. This misleading and unverified reporting is in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and its fairness requirements. FCRA Section 616 - Civil Liability for Willful Noncompliance : Despite my previous dispute, you have failed to verify the accuracy of the credit information you have accepted, thereby demonstrating willful noncompliance. This noncompliance is subject to civil liability of up to {$1000.00} per violation. FCRA Section 605B - Aggravated Identity Theft : Your continued sharing of my personal information with numerous creditors without obtaining my consent is a criminal act of aggravated identity theft. I remind you that this offense carries a penalty of up to 2 years of imprisonment. FCRA Section 603 ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) - Obligations with Respect to Disclosures of Personal Information : You have yet to fulfill your obligation to disclose my right to opt out of sharing my personal information. This omission is deceptive and a direct violation of my consumer rights. FORA Section 623 ( a ) ( 3 ) - Furnishing Deceptive Forms : Despite my previous dispute, you persist in furnishing inaccurate inquiries and accounts without proper validation, which potentially violates Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ( GAAP ). Reporting such deceptive information is unacceptable In addition to the aforementioned violations, I remind you of the previous violations outlined in my initial dispute letter, including the violation of Debt Collection Practices Act, Identity Theft Laws, Acquiring Location Information Regulations, Timely Payments Regulations, Finance Charge Determination, and Credit Report Permissible Purposes. These violations require your immediate attention and resolution. Once again, I demand that you take immediate action to address these violations and fulfill the following requests : Unauthorized inquiry : XXXX  Date of inquiry : XX/XX/2022 DELETE!!!

Ok I just found out I'm part of the Equifax Breach that happened and just was settled. I've disputed several items over the last couple years and seen a couple strange items that I addressed and some were removed. My issue is now my score is lower than it should be because of so many hard and soft inquiries that wasn't me. And Negative accounts that aren't me. I've put in disputes with all 3 agencies but it is alot. I don't have any debt except for my car loan that it's. I just need to have items removed from my credit reports that I'm not responsible doing. It's affecting my interest rates and me even opening a credit card account. I never got anything from Equifax in the mail, by email or by phone alerting me about the breach years ago Thank you XXXX XXXX XXXX
