I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Equifax Stated in their response ( attached Below ) that they Verified a Bankruptcy and I quote '' this information is often obtained from a medium ( ie.Paper records or a computer data base prescribed by the source of the information ( IE. courthouse or other government Entity. ) I have provided proof that the information was never reported to any vendor, or credit reporting agency. If the information was never reported directly from the source then how can you verify information that was never given from the actual source? 

15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) ( A ) prohibits furnishing inaccurate information to consumer reporting agencies, and 15 U.S. Code 1681e mandates that consumer reporting agencies maintain reasonable procedures to ensure accurate reporting and limit the purposes for which consumer reports are furnished. Equifax are not meeting these standards.

Finally, pursuant to 12 CFR 1016.7, I exercise my right to opt out of your reporting services effective immediately. 


I insist on your strict compliance with Metro 2 reporting requirements. You must provide me with irrefutable physical proof of the validity, accuracy, and compliance of the reported information. Specifically, I request : The name and contact information of the individual at the original creditor with whom you communicated to verify these items.

The method of contact used ( e.g., phone, email, written correspondence ).

Whether you utilized a Universal Data Form ( UDF ) or an automated dispute verification system. 
A detailed description of the reinvestigation procedure, including the steps taken to verify the disputed items. 
If you can not substantiate the claims made in my report with the requested information, I expect the inaccurate accounts to be removed immediately. Failure to comply with my request will result in my taking legal action, including filing a lawsuit in small claims court for {$1000.00} per violation, pursuant to FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 3 ).

I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized credit inquiries made without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry, disclose all communication exchanged, share internal records, confirm identity verification measures, and demonstrate compliance with relevant laws.
