I XXXX XXXX am a natural person submitting this dispute. This dispute is not being submitted by a third party.

I submitted a letter addressed from the United States Court that stated that do not report data to the credit bureaus or any third party agencies. Experian has ignored my efforts to remove this information from my credit file. Experian is receiving their information from a third party company ( XXXX XXXX ) and has failed to do their due diligence to make sure my credit report is XXXX percent accurate not negating the fact that they have completely violated my consumer rights to privacy being that Pacer and the United states courts do not verify information and it is the responsibility of the credit bureaus to make sure the information they publish on my credit report isXXXX percent accurate. simply matching a name and part of a social is not verifying information and doing their due diligence..

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

To Whom It May Concern at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax regarding unauthorized credit inquiries that have appeared on my credit report. After reviewing my recent report, I identified several inquiries that I did not authorize and have no knowledge of. Despite contacting Equifax to resolve this matter, these inquiries remain on my report, causing significant frustration. 

The unauthorized inquiries in question are as follows : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/year> XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/year> Attached to this complaint is an Identity Theft Report filed with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ). This report, along with the corresponding case number, supports my claim regarding the unauthorized credit inquiries on my credit report. I kindly request that the necessary steps be taken to address this issue in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I appreciate your prompt attention and review of this document as part of the investigation.

I believe Equifax has violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by failing to properly investigate and remove these inquiries from my credit report, even after I brought the issue to their attention. The sections of the FCRA that support my claim are : Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), which outlines my right to dispute inaccurate or incomplete information. I have disputed these inquiries, but Equifax has not conducted a satisfactory investigation.

Section 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ), which grants me the right to access my file. Upon reviewing this information, I confirmed that I never authorized these inquiries.

Section 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ), which details the permissible purposes for credit report inquiries. I did not give consent for these inquiries, and Equifax has not provided evidence of a valid reason for them.

Despite my efforts to resolve this directly with Equifax, these unauthorized inquiries continue to negatively impact my credit report. I request that the CFPB intervene to ensure Equifax fulfills its legal obligations under the FCRA by removing the unauthorized inquiries and providing me with an updated credit report.

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter, and I am happy to provide any additional information needed for your investigation.

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: I.C. System, Inc. (AL)

Initially, I received notification on my consumer report under XXXX XXXX about XXXX, I wrote to them request a detailed debt validation request via certified mail dated XX/XX/23. I received a generic debt collection letter from I XXXX Systems Collections as a follow-up. 

I wrote again to I C System on XX/XX/23 and XX/XX/23 via certified mail and repeatedly received the same generic attempt to collect a debt, disregarding my request for specific documents for verification. That alone is a violation under FCRA. 

I wrote directly to the credit bureaus to request an investigation and it is simply being auto verified by just simply being on my credit report. 

I will provide copies of letters sent asking for a cease & desist until a proper investigation & render of documentation has been provided for this alleged debt. 

This reporting has damaged my credit report & caused a lot of losses for my family & I, by its presence on my profile. 

Please supply requested documents on the letter dated XX/XX/23 to validate this debt. Additionally, while this account is being investigated, I request a cease and desist of this reporting. 

Should this information not be available, I request immediate deletion from my credit report.

Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission identity theft affidavit. Please find it in your best interest to delete the items. 


I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified.

15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report.

15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any. 
information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.

15 U.S. Code 1681 Section B ( i ) - Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material - If a consumer reporting agency removes information from someone's credit file based on the requirements in the preceding section ( A ), the agency can not re-add or reinsert that previously deleted information back into the person 's file unless the entity that originally provided that information certifies that it is complete and accurate.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA)

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.
