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. (IL)

There are accounts listed on my consumer report that have originated from identity theft. I did not provide written authorization, including a wet signature, for these accounts to be included in my consumer report. I have recently communicated with your organization regarding this matter and I am hereby requesting that these accounts be promptly blocked and removed from my report. The inclusion of these unauthorized items has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately reflect my credit history and responsibilities. If this issue is not appropriately addressed, I am prepared to take legal action. The presence of these fraudulent items on my credit record has hindered my ability to achieve my financial goals, such as purchasing a home and meeting the needs of my family.

" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information. 

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation. 

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent. 

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.

The items listed below are reported on my credit file and were found in my reports with credit reporting agencies. These items were opened fraudulently. Ive informed all parties of the issue & provided the necessary documentation to support my claim. The credit reporting agency ( CRA ) & data furnisher ( DF ) are not complying with federal law regarding identity theft. Additionally, the credit reporting agency & data furnisher have not provided any evidence of an open contract, signed contract, or any valid proof this was opened, authorized, or created by me.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (KY)

On XX/XX/2024, I applied for business loan with XXXX XXXX After application, I was notified that my application was being reviewed and there was a hard pull from XXXX on my Equifax credit report. 

In about XXXX minute I received another notice again from XXXX XXXX that my application was being review and then another hard pull from XXXX on my Equifax report. 

I called the bank the following day to follow up on my application and was told it was denied by an automated system and now being reviewed by a XXXX XXXX  personnel. I then ask why there was XXXX applications when I only submitted XXXX application. The representative advised she would have to confirm that with her manager/supervisor and reach back to me. 

She later called within the day and advised I could go ahead and dispute the hard pull. 

I visited my Equifax account and submitted a dispute for the second pull to be removed on XX/XX/2024 and labeled it as " unauthorized pull from lender ''. 

Today XX/XX/2024, Equifax completed dispute with below response " >>> The information you disputed has been received. The results are : INQUIRIES ARE A FACTUAL RECORD OF FILE ACCESS AND WILL REMAIN ON THE EQUIFAX CREDIT FILE XXXX YEARS FROM THE REPORTED DATE OF THE INQUIRY. Inquiry Date : XX/XX/2024 XXXX XXXX EQUIFAX '' At this point this matter as moved from unauthorized to fraudulent. I don't see a reason why I would apply for the same product twice while the first is still currently under review. 

XXXX XXXX  and Equifax should not make excuses for their inadequate systems and take responsibilities for it. 

On XX/XX/2024, I had to file a complaint via the CFPB ( XXXX ) regarding an online application form that clearly stated I can input my ITIN and when I later called in, I was told they only accept SSN so I'm not surprised if there is a glitch and inconsistencies in their system that authorized another pull for a single application.
