" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information. 

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation. 

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent. 
This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent.

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

I see some items on my credit report that I dont know. It looks like someone might have stolen my identity because I didnt approve these accounts. Ive talked about this before, and now Im asking for these accounts to be taken off my report quickly. Having these accounts on my report is causing me stress. They dont show my real credit history or how I handle money, and its been hard dealing with this. If we cant fix this, Im ready to go to court to protect my rights and find a solution. These wrong items on my credit report are a big problem for me. Theyre stopping me from reaching important money goals, like buying a house and supporting my family. I hope we can fix this problem soon.

While I was at home moving, I received a notification of a potential fraud alert for multiple transactions. I immediately denied the transaction and responded to the text stating that the purchase was not made by me and was not authorized. I selected all of the transactions on my app immediately and claimed them to be fraud. I immediately reported the fraud and requested a new credit card. I was initially refunded the amount of {$680.00} but then XXXX months later was notified that my claim had been denied except for XXXX XXXX The reasoning on the claim was " The chip was read, your PIN was entered, and/or you signed for the merchandise or service, which indicates you or someone you allowed to use your card was present. '' I immediately called and appealed this decision and provided additional information and requested information related to the investigation as well as video evidence form the merchant of the transaction being completed, as it was not me. At no point was I contacted during the investigation or was any information requested from me. Additionally, I know for a fact that the merchant in question does not require PIN or signature for credit card transactions at any of their machines as i have shopped at numerous Targets in the area. My credit card does not even have a PIN number associated with it and I have not been provided with the signature utilized. The claim was once again declined with XXXX additional information being provided. I followed the guidelines exactly, denied the transaction, reported the fraud within minutes, requested a new card, and NEVER authorized the transactions. The denial of the appeal is astonishing and I deserve every single cent back that has been stolen from me.
