Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

Despite my previous 4 written requests, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. They stated in their responses to my 4 dispute letters that they have verified that the items listed are accurate but they failed to send me copies of the documents that they used to verify these accounts as per my request. The fact that they have ignored my request to send me copies of the documents that they used to verify the disputed accounts is evidence that they can not and did not verify any of the disputed accounts like they said they did. Their failure to delete the disputed accounts that they can not verify after two written requests is also evidence of their willful disregard of Federal Law.

Assuming no one cares, remove any material in my credit report that was obtained through alleged fraud or extortion.

Since XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX has sold my debt to multiple collection agencies to collect an alleged debt due to them going through bankruptcy. Each collection company has to try to settle with me for different amounts in order to coerce me into claiming a debt I do not own and have reported to FTC before the debt was sold to the first collection company. This new company has harassed me through email to try to collect this debt but they do not have my correct name and I am not volunteering any new information they do not already have so they can try to build a case to prove the debt is indeed mine. It is illegal to debt park per the FTC. XXXX  XXXX has parked fake or questionable debts on my credit reports and then waited for me to notice the damage when I tried to get a loan or a job. XXXX XXXX XXXX used this illegal debt parking to coerce me to pay debt I do not owe or do not recognize.

My identity was stolen in or before XX/XX/XXXX, at which point I placed a fraud alert and credit freeze on my XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX files. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter in the mail from Judgment Acquisitions Unlimited in XXXX, MA, indicating a debt in the amount of {$15000.00} at the XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. This debt is as a result of identity theft, so as such, I contacted them on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke to XXXX XXXX requesting information relating to the debt and the application for an apartment, which was provided to me by XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX. The documentation showed false information in the application along with a fake ID, along with that this account was opened on XX/XX/XXXX with the same information that was used to open other fraudulent accounts, and showing that the XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX did not do their due diligence in vetting the legitimacy of the application. I submitted information relating to proof that the application was fraudulent to XXXX later that day at XXXX, including that much of the information provided by the person using my identity is either false or does not exist, and can be definitively refuted through the use of publicly available information, such as the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) indicating false information relating to previous residence. In response, XXXX told me that the information is not enough, and that they needed a police report relating to this specific case. Following this, at XXXX the same day, I submitted records relating to a police report I had filed in XXXX for a different property, as well as records of approximately XXXX other accounts that were opened fraudulently in my name. The response was that " although the information alludes to identity theft for other accounts, there is none that confirm this one is part of it '' and that " we are requesting you provide us with a copy of a filed report for this account in our office. '' At this point, these are predatory collection tactics that indicate a lack of cooperation to work to absolve an individual who is a victim of identity theft without the usage of additional time and resources on my part as the victim.
