Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NC)

The credit bureau posted unauthorized credit inquiries on my credit profile. I have requested a full investigation to verify these and the credit bureau has not provided their verification sources they sent me a letter saying that they have verified these inquiries.

I want to reference several sections of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to support my dispute.

Section 605B - This section of the FCRA requires consumer reporting agencies to block the reporting of fraudulent information on a consumer 's credit report, including fraudulent inquiries. If I believe that a hard inquiry on your credit report resulted from fraud, I can request that the credit reporting agency block the inquiry from my credit report.

Section 611 - This section of the FCRA outlines my rights to dispute inaccurate information on my credit report. If you believe that a hard inquiry on my credit report resulted from fraud, I can dispute the inquiry with the credit reporting agency and provide evidence of the fraud, such as a police report or affidavit.

Section 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) - This section of the FCRA requires consumer reporting agencies to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on a consumer 's credit report. If I dispute a hard inquiry on my credit report that I believe was the result of fraud, the credit reporting agency must investigate my dispute and either remove the inquiry from my credit report or provide me with evidence to support its inclusion.

Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified items listed below still remains on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct.

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verifiedthat these items are being reported correctly? Who verified these items? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ).

" 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 each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. List all accounts : "

I've contacted all 3 credit bureaus about removing the accounts numerous of times. My request have been ignored. Can you please assist me? I feel like I'm being treated unfairly. My last attempt to remove these items cause my credit score to drop. This is odd to me because, my credit utilization lower than it has been in months. and my payment history is at 100 %. My last late payment on my report is the actual mortgage itself. This system seems to be rigged in a way where it leaves people at the mercy of the credit bureaus. Please have them do the right thing here. If you investigate my history, you'll see everything that I'm saying is accurate.
