Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NJ)

I am filing this complaint because I have identified an unauthorized hard inquiry on my Equifax credit report. Specifically, a hard inquiry was made by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/year>. I did not provide consent for this inquiry, nor did I apply for credit or financial services from this company during the relevant period. 

I have previously contacted Equifax to dispute this unauthorized inquiry, and they responded by stating that " inquiries are a factual record of file access and will remain on the Equifax credit file per two years. '' This does not address my dispute. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), hard inquiries can only be conducted with explicit consumer consent, which was not given in this case. 

This unauthorized access to my credit information is negatively affecting my credit score, which could impact my ability to obtain credit in the future.

Section 611 ( a ) Right to Dispute Inaccurate Information : If a consumer disputes an inquiry as unauthorized or incorrect, the credit bureau is required to investigate the claim. Failing to investigate or not removing the inquiry after the investigation could violate this section.

Section 605 ( a ) Reporting of Inaccurate or Obsolete Information : If the inquiry is proven to be inaccurate, outdated, or unauthorized, it must be removed. Failing to do so could lead to a violation of this section, which governs the reporting of accurate information.

Section 611 ( d ) Consumer Notification : If a consumer files a dispute, the bureau must notify the consumer of the results of the investigation. Failing to provide timely notification could be a violation of this provision.

Section 607 ( b ) Accuracy of Reports : Credit bureaus are responsible for maintaining reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of information in credit reports. Retaining unauthorized or inaccurate inquiries could violate this section if the bureaus fail to uphold these standards.

Section 604 ( f ) Permissible Purposes of Credit Inquiries : Inquiries should only appear on a credit report if they are for permissible purposes ( e.g., when you apply for credit ).

" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

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. ''
