Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction and disappointment with how your bureau has handled my identity theft complaints. This issue involves not only the theft of my personal data but also highlights the apathetic approach your bureau has taken in managing my case. 

I have submitted all required documentation, including the FTC report I filed with the Federal Trade Commission, to prove my innocence and the criminal nature of the actions involved. Despite the severity of the situation and its significant impact on my life, your bureau 's response has been alarmingly inadequate. Communication regarding the status of my disputes has been sparse, and the responses I have received were generic and unhelpful. This lack of attention and urgency has left me feeling neglected and unsupported by the institution I trusted to protect my credit and financial well-being. 

I urge your bureau to take my identity theft case seriously and expedite the investigation process. Please thoroughly review the evidence I have provided and promptly remove the fraudulent accounts and transactions from my credit report. Additionally, I request that you implement measures to prevent such incidents from recurring, as it is evident that my personal information was mishandled and exploited.

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.

I am writing once more to express my bewilderment at your credit bureau 's handling of the investigation into the accounts, as I continue to dispute the presence of fraudulent accounts on my credit report. As you are aware, I have submitted the required FTC report regarding this fraudulent account. Following my submission, both XXXX and XXXX removed this account from their records. I have also directly contacted the company associated with this account, and they have confirmed the removal of the account. Therefore, I am puzzled as to why this account is still being reported by your bureau. It is imperative to recognize that as a credit bureau, you are legally bound to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of your records. Failing to remove this fraudulent account not only violates this obligation but also exposes me to further harm.

I closed this account because Bank XXXX XXXX has refused to comply with 15 USC 1666B ,15 U.S. Code 1605, and 15 USC 1605 ( a ) to name a few. This is alarming since you have already taken action against XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXor Illegally Charging Junk Fees, Withholding Credit Card Rewards, and Opening Fake Accounts. 

My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late. This was clearly a billing error, and a double dipping scheme. This act is shameful it has caused severe hardship to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family. That is why I closed the account and requested for the record to be deleted. 

XXXX and XXXX has removed it from my credit report already but XXXX XXXX XXXX and Experian seems to have difficulty complying with FCRA Regulations and Consumer Laws. 

Thank you very much for your time and assistance regarding this matter.
