I'm furious with how Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX are screwing up my credit report! Ive tried to fix these errors, but you keep ignoring me, which breaks the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S. Code 1681i.

I've sent letters through basic software, but your silence is illegal. No Power of Attorney is needed for this. Under FCRA Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) and Metro 2 standards, I have the right to dispute false info on my report. Your bogus delinquency claims dont meet federal or state standards.

Prove theres a valid reason for these inquiries or accounts, or admit you failed. The Equifax data breach screwed me with fraudulent entries, violating 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 602A.

15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 602A : My right to privacy 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 604A Section 2 : No account without my written instructions 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ) : No adverse items older than seven years 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) : No knowingly inaccurate info You have 30 days to fix this! I want proof of what you did and an updated credit report. Remove the false claims NOW!

I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized credit inquiries and 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, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.
