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

I am writing to you regarding my credit report, which contains inaccurate and fraudulent information. I have previously submitted an identity theft report detailing the fraudulent activities on my credit profile. However, I have noticed that the following fraudulent accounts and unauthorized inquiries are still appearing on my credit report : Account Details : 1. Account Name : XXXX  XXXX Account Number : XXXX XXXX. Account Name : XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX These accounts were opened fraudulently without my knowledge or consent. I have taken the necessary steps to report this identity theft, and I kindly request that you investigate the matter thoroughly and remove these fraudulent accounts from my credit profile immediately. 

Furthermore, I have identified several inquiries on my credit report that are not associated with any active accounts. These inquiries were made without my authorization and have no valid purpose. Therefore, I request that you remove all unauthorized inquiries from my credit report as well. 

I understand that the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) grants you the responsibility to ensure the accuracy of the information in my credit report. It is essential for me to have an accurate credit profile as it impacts my financial opportunities, such as obtaining loans or credit cards. The inclusion of these fraudulent accounts and unauthorized inquiries is not only detrimental to my financial standing but also a violation of my rights under the FCRA. 

To support my claim, I have attached copies of the identity theft report that I previously filed with the relevant authorities. This report provides clear evidence of the fraudulent activities and supports my request for immediate removal of the aforementioned accounts and inquiries. 

I kindly request that you initiate an investigation into these matters promptly and provide me with a written confirmation once the fraudulent accounts and unauthorized inquiries have been removed from my credit report. Additionally, I would appreciate if you could provide me with an updated copy of my credit report once the necessary changes have been made. 

Please note that the FCRA requires you to complete the investigation within 30 days of receiving this dispute letter. I expect a prompt response from you within this timeframe. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that you will handle my request with the utmost urgency and ensure the accuracy and integrity of my credit report. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

A few weeks ago I sent letters to all 3 credit bureaus regarding some items on my credit report which I know are not accurate. I know this is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA so they must abide by the law. Everything I have provided in my letters is true and accurate to my knowledge. I've received emails and letters saying I'm using a 3rd party which is incorrect because I am the one sending my letters out and filing this complaint with no help from a credit repair company or 3rd party.

Again, am just asking that these companies report accurate information in which they are required to do due under the many rules and regulations that is governed by the FCRA.

I reached out to you guys a while ago asking about those negative items After the investigation, the items were deleted. Unfortuately, the joy was short-lived. The items have returned back to my account and creating more harm to my report and current lifestyle. As per mandatory by the FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 16811 ) it is required that you guys send me ( within 5 days ) a certification of accuracy and also a notice of the updated information. I haven't received any of this, because of this, I am demanding you remove all information associated with these debts from my credit report instantly! If the information isn't removed from my credit report in 15 days I will be forced to start Litigation and file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB )

There are multiple accounts & inquiries opened and being reported on my credit report that do not belong to me. I have took the necessary steps to contact these companies & the credit bureaus to advise that whats being reported is fraud & not accurate. I have made several attempts in disputing all inaccurate information being reported on my credit but there has been no resolve. I filed a police report regarding this matter in XXXX of 2022, I requested alerts be put in place on my credit as an extra layer of protection yet that didnt work either. This has affected my credit & score tremendously & i am now choosing to escalate this matter in hopes of it getting resolved right away.

This is not a duplicate complaint and I'm not using a third party for this matter. I checked my credit report and noticed some inquiries from companies that I did not give consent to access my credit reports ; I am very concerned about all activity going on with my credit reports these days. I immediately demand the removal of these inquiries to avoid any confusion as I DID NOT initiate these inquires or give any form of consent electronically, in person, or over the phone. I am fully aware that without permissible purpose no entity is allowed to pull my credit unless otherwise noted in section 604 of the FTCRA. I made an attempt to file a police report, but I was informed by my county that it did not constitute as an emergency, and that they would not file the report because I didnt have any information on the person who used my information, nor did I know how my information was obtained by this person. So, I have filed FTC report for this matter. Inquiries that are made by someone else without my authorization is not a factual record of access to my credit file, it is a factual record of fraudulent activity, and it must be addressed as such. The reason that these inquiries are being disputed is because they were not made by me, and when I report this to you, it is your responsibility to investigate my claims, and when you can not prove that these inquiries were made by me, they must be removed from my credit file. It is not my responsibility to go directly to each creditor, the obligation lies at your feet because you are reporting inaccurate information within my credit report, and this violates the FCRA. It should be noted that an inquiry that was not made by me is not a factual record, just as a fraudulently opened account is not a factual record and not referred to the creditor to be disputed directly with them. The credit reporting agencies have attempted to address an inquiry as a factual record of file access, but if it was done through fraudulent means, it is not a factual record. As a consumer I should not be required to dispute each fraudulent inquiry directly with each company. These inquiries are the result of fraudulent activity and therefore inaccurate information in which the credit reporting agencies or the creditors can not verify, meaning that these inquiries are unverifiable information and must be deleted from out of my credit file. 
XXXX XXXX Inquiry : XXXX XXXX, XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX Inquiry : XXXX. XXXX, XXXX ; XXXX XXXX Inquiry : XXXX. XXXX, XXXX these items above should be removed from my report immediately.
