Consumer complaint received 2024-07-25
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Other personal consumer report
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

I recently returned to the United States and checked my credit report from Equifax, where I discovered numerous inquiries that I do not recognize and did not authorize. These inquiries are as follows : XXXX XXXX  XXXX on multiple dates, most recently on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX  XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX These inquiries are unfamiliar to me, and I am concerned about their impact on my credit score and financial standing. I have not applied for credit or authorized anyone to make inquiries on my behalf recently. Given that I have been a victim of identity theft in the past, it is likely that these inquiries are fraudulent and not initiated by me. 

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 1681b ( c ), which outlines permissible purposes for accessing a consumer 's credit report, unauthorized inquiries that are not related to a transaction initiated by the consumer are violations of my rights. 

Therefore, I request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate these unknown inquiries thoroughly. Please provide clarification regarding the purpose of these inquiries and take necessary action to remove them promptly from my Equifax credit report.

I am sure you are aware that it is against the law to threaten suit without any intention of doing so. Therefore, be advised that I am extremely serious about filing suit against your company. I have sent numerous letters requesting for you to investigate and remove all inaccurate information that is being reported on my personal credit profile, yet you continue to fail to do so.

It is my understanding of the law that you MUST honor each and every request to investigate incorrect information and you seem to have ignored all of my previous requests. That is a crystal clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act which provides a cause of action for an individual consumer as well as penalties and liabilities for both consumer reporting agencies and furnishers of information for non-compliance as violation of its provisions.
