Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

As of XXXX, upon review of my most recent review of my credit profile from XXXX XXXX and Equifax, I have found a few inaccuracies listed. On Page 9 of my attached credit report listed concerning a XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX account, XXXX, XXXX and Equifax have conflicting LAST REPORTED dates. DATE LAST ACTIVE is also inconsistent across XXXX, XXXX and Equifax. The PAYMENT HISTORY for XXXX is also inconsistent across the said three credit reporting agencies for the same XXXX XXXX XXXX account. 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) states : Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. This is because 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. Therefore 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ) There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. The results of these inaccuracies have caused my self and as a result, my family, discrimination, pain, duress among other forms of mental discomfort. Consequently, due to the grave inconsistencies XXXX, XXXX and Equifax should immediately remove this XXXX XXXX  XXXX account from my credit profile to reduce the personal harm they have caused. XXXX XXXX - Without Recourse.

I submitted a complaint ( XXXX XXXXXXXX ) to CFPB on XX/XX/2024 pertaining to Equifax violating my consumer rights. The complaint was closed with no monetary relief. The company responded with a full transparent paragraph that some of the accounts that I submitted were DELETED from my consumer report. 
My report still has NOT been updated and it's causing me to be in an unsound and unsafe situation. I AM FEARING FOR MY LIFE! 

I later received a letter from EQUIFAX INFORMATION SERVICES stating that they were unable to locate a CREDIT FILE in their DATABASE with the identification information I provided. 

HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE AND EQUIFAX HAS BEEN REPORTING INACCURATE INFORMATION ON MY CONSUMER REPORT BUT NEVER ASKED FOR " VERIFICATION '' BEFORE ADDING BOGUS ACCOUNTS TO MY FEDERALLY PROTECTED CONSUMER REPORT? 

It is FEDERAL LAW that the credit bureau 's grave responsibility is to report consistent information and THEY ARE NOT which is a VIOLATION! 

Even though I disagree with their practices, I sent a letter back to EQUIFAX INFORMATION SERVICES on XX/XX/2024 and my consumer report still has not been " verified '' or updated. As shown in the attachments, I sent the letter they sent me along with a copy of my ID and my SS Card. 

At this point, it seems as if they are wanting to purposely report inaccurate information on my consumer credit report.

Re : Complaint Against Equifax for Violation of FCRA 1681 b ( 2 ) - Permissible Purpose of Consumer Reports.I am writing to file a complaint against Equifax, a consumer reporting agency, for violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 U.S.C. 1681 b ( 2 ) regarding the permissible purpose of consumer reports. 

Summary of Complaint Equifax furnished a consumer report about me to [ XXXX XXXX XXXX ] in connection with a [ Auto Transaction ]. However, I did not initiate this transaction, nor did I authorize Equifax to provide my consumer report for this purpose. This action is a direct violation of FCRA 1681 b ( 2 ), which restricts the release of consumer reports without consumer consent or for purposes not initiated by the consumer. 

Additionally, Equifax violated 15 U.S.C. 6802 regarding disclosing my nonpublic personal information. I was not provided with clear and conspicuous disclosure that my information may be disclosed to a nonaffiliated third party. I was not given the opportunity to opt-out of such disclosure, nor was I explained how to exercise that option. 
a consumer reporting agency, for violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( I ). 

Equifax has included information on my consumer report that I believe is in violation of the FCRA. The information pertains to [ describe the information in question ], which I believe constitutes a report of transactions or experiences between myself and Equifax. 

The FCRA explicitly excludes such information from the definition of a " consumer report. '' As per 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ), a consumer report does not include " any report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. '' Furthermore, Equifax has not provided any evidence that I gave written permission for this information to be included in my consumer report.

I am continually being called on the telephone by this agency over an alleged debt. I am requesting validation of this debt. This account has been reporting inaccurately. I wanted to dispute this account because of this and it was affecting my credit report. I am having problems with this unfair treatment. I am sure that I settled this account before because it was not mine. This account was taken care of with the original creditor and promised me to update it out of my report. Therefore, this account is unverifiable. This is an error that you need to look into, so please do your investigation on this and remove or delete this account from my credit report.
