Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

Dear Equifax Consumer Dispute Center, I am writing to address a concerning issue regarding the handling of a dispute regarding identity theft inquiries on my credit report. I have raised this matter with Equifax on two separate occasions, yet the inquiries remain unresolved, significantly impacting my ability to obtain credit and manage my financial affairs. 

IDENTITY THEFT INQUIRIES : XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ), XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ), XXXX XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ), XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ), Equifax Mortgage Services ( XX/XX/XXXX ), XXXX XXXX  ( XX/XX/XXXX ), XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ). 

As per the requirements outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly in Section 611 ( a ) ( 2 ), it is the responsibility of consumer reporting agencies to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information upon receiving a consumer 's request. In my case, I have provided Equifax with a valid FTC report detailing the identity theft incidents, along with additional documentation supporting my claim. 

Despite providing all necessary documentation, Equifax has failed to adequately address the disputed identity theft inquiries, citing an " Invalid FTC report '' without providing any explanation for this determination. This response is deeply concerning and does not align with the obligations outlined in the FCRA. 

Under the FCRA, Equifax is mandated to promptly investigate disputed items and ensure the accuracy of information on my credit report. Furthermore, if the disputed inquiries are found to be inaccurate or fraudulent, Equifax is required to remove them from my credit report. 

Given the urgency of this matter and the impact it is having on my financial well-being, I kindly request that Equifax conducts a thorough and proper investigation into the disputed inquiries. I expect Equifax to adhere to its obligations under the FCRA and take immediate action to rectify this situation. 

If Equifax requires any further information or documentation from my end to facilitate the resolution of this dispute, please do not hesitate to contact me at the provided contact information. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I anticipate a prompt and satisfactory resolution. 

Sincerely,

I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the inaccurate reporting of a late payment on my credit report by credit bureaus. The presence of this late payment inaccurately reflects my payment history, as I have consistently paid my bills on time. This discrepancy constitutes a billing error, violating my rights under the Fair Credit Billing Act, 15 USC 1666B. According to this law, consumers have the right to dispute and seek correction of billing errors, which include inaccuracies in payment reporting.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

I am writing to formally dispute a late payment entry that has appeared on my credit report. The report indicates a late payment in my credit report, which I strongly believe is erroneous and not verified. Throughout my financial history with the financial agencies I am doing business with, I have consistently met all payment deadlines without fail. Therefore, the presence of this late payment is undoubtedly a result of a billing error on the part of the creditor. I request a thorough investigation into this matter to verify the accuracy of the reported late payment and urge for its prompt correction. It is imperative that such inaccuracies are rectified swiftly, as they impact my financial standing and credibility. I have contacted the financial agencies in the last more than 30 days to seek clarification but I got no response because this is erroneously reported for they have provided NO PROOF that there was a REAL late payment. Your immediate attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.
