Despite multiple attempts, I have been unable to resolve the issue of fraudulent inquiries appearing on my consumer report. These inquiries are not associated with me in any way, and I bear no responsibility for them. Their presence has caused significant mental and financial distress. As a victim of identity theft, I have no alternative but to consider legal action if this matter is not appropriately addressed. These inaccurate and fraudulent items on my consumer report have hindered my ability to purchase my dream house and provide for my family 's needs. The impact on my financial well-being has been substantial. For your reference, I have attached a copy of the letter I previously sent to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), which outlines this issue and seeks resolution.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NH)

On XX/XX/2024, I submitted a 605B deletion request to Equifax through CFPB complaint # XXXX. This request included all necessary documentation, such as a sworn crime report, proof of identity, and proof of address, to block fraudulent information from my credit report due to identity theft. However, as of today, no action has been taken on my request, which should have been processed within XXXX business days according to FCRA Section 605B. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I called Equifax and spoke with Supervisor XXXX  ( Case # XXXX ) to follow up on the status of my 605B deletion request. I was informed that the dispute was still under investigation. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called again and spoke with Supervisor XXXX ( XXXX # XXXX ), who also told me that the investigation was ongoing. I reminded him that FCRA 605B mandates no further investigation is required from creditors once a sworn identity theft affidavit and supporting documentation are submitted. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke with a supervisor named XXXX ( XXXX # XXXXXXXX  ), who claimed to be the highest-level authority available to discuss my case. XXXX  informed me that my 605B identity theft dispute could not be blocked, and I would need to wait for 30 days for the investigation to close. I explained that, per the law, the investigation should not be necessary for a 605B deletion request, but he said there was nothing more he could do.

This raises serious concerns about the handling of my 605B request, as I believe it is being improperly treated as a standard dispute rather than an identity theft deletion request, which should have been addressed within XXXX business days. Additionally, I believe this failure to act violates FCRA Section 605B.

Furthermore, I have submitted complaints to credit reporting agencies ( CRAs ) regarding accounts that are the result of identity theft and should not be on my report. These accounts were allegedly " verified '' without any transparency regarding the sources used for verification. Under FCRA 611, I request that the CRAs provide the sources of information they relied upon in verifying these disputed accounts. If the CRAs can not produce valid sources, I demand that all contested items be removed from my credit report, as required by law.

Product: Credit card — Store credit card
Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (CA)

IKEA Projekt Credit Card issued by Comenity Capital Bank They are overcharging interest by offering various interest rates on different payment plans, then misapplying payments such that it's next to impossible to pay off the balance that's accruing the most interest first.

Even as a lawyer, I find the monthly statements indecipherable.

Comenity Capital Bank is abusively charging excess interest to clients by not apply payments to highest interest bearing balances first.

This is grounds for a class action lawsuit.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NC)

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.
