Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

Despite my numerous attempts to address the presence of fraudulent, inaccurate, and misleading information on my consumer report, the issue remains unresolved. The inclusion of these items has profoundly impacted my life, causing significant stress and anxiety. It is crucial to reiterate that I did not authorize or consent to the association of this information with my name, as I have fallen victim to identity theft.

As outlined in Section 621 ( a ) ( 5 ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), you are required to investigate any disputed information within 30 days of receiving a dispute notice. This includes entering a notice of dispute on my credit report. To date, I have not received any communication regarding the investigation of this dispute, nor has a notice of dispute been placed on my credit report for the account XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. Given your failure to comply with FCRA regulations by not investigating the disputed information and entering a notice of dispute, I demand the immediate removal of the accounts outlined in the dispute letter sent XX/XX/2024 ( attached ). Furthermore, the disputed accounts were never verified. Experian is reporting 2 late payments while XXXX states that no payment history is available. XXXX has removed this account. If I do not receive confirmation of the account 's removal, I will be forced to pursue further action, which may include filing a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) and considering legal options. I have attached a copy of my credit report clearly showing the absence of a dispute notice for the accounts and the dispute letter, which is dated, and time stamped.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (OH)

I've learned that the creditor didn't provide the necessary 21-day notice along with a statement, which would have given me enough time to process payments and avoid late fees on these accounts. This mistake has caused a misrepresentation of the payment status, indicating a billing error by the creditor.

" I was shocked and devastated to see credit inquiries without my knowledge. I have reached out to the creditors to ask the following but they have FAILED to provide such. 
Inquiry Details : Ask the creditor to provide specific details about the inquiry, such as the date it was made, the purpose of the inquiry and the type of credit product or service associated with the inquiry. 
Application Documentation : Request copies of any credit applications or other documents related to the inquiry. This may include application forms, agreements, or disclosures that you would have completed or received when applying for credit. 
Authorization Documentation : Ask the creditor to provide evidence of your authorization for the inquiry. This could include signed consent forms, agreements, or disclosures that demonstrate you provided permission for the creditor to access your credit report. 
Communication Records : Request copies of any correspondence or communication between you and the creditor regarding the inquiry. This may include emails, letters, or notes documenting your interactions with the creditor.

Internal Records : Ask the creditor to provide internal records or notes related to the inquiry, including any decision-making processes or reasons for initiating the inquiry.

Identity Verification : If identity theft is a concern, request verification measures taken by the creditor to confirm your identity before initiating the inquiry. This may include verification of personal information or identity documents provided during the application process. 
Compliance Documentation : Inquire about the creditor 's compliance with relevant laws and regulations governing credit inquiries, such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ).

I want to be absolutely clear : I did not authorize these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these inquiries be blocked and removed from my record. I want to stress that this request is not a mistake, nor is it based on any misrepresentation of facts. It's crucial to highlight that these transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. By emphasizing this, I hope to convey the seriousness of my request and ensure it receives proper attention. Furthermore, I want to emphasize that my request is based on accurate and relevant information, and I have no intention of deceiving or manipulating the situation in any way.

I am writing to file a complaint concerning multiple unauthorized inquiries on my credit report, with the exception of those made by XXXX XXXX. Upon reviewing my recent credit reports from XXXX, Experian, and XXXX, I noticed several inquiries that I did not authorize. These unauthorized inquiries are negatively impacting my credit score and overall creditworthiness.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), consumers are protected against unauthorized access to their credit information ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ). According to the FCRA, only entities with a permissible purpose should have access to my credit report. The presence of these unauthorized inquiries indicates a potential breach of my rights under this law. 
I request an immediate investigation into these unauthorized inquiries. I expect that any inquiry that can not be verified as authorized be promptly removed from my credit report. This corrective action is necessary to ensure the accuracy and integrity of my credit information as mandated by the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ).

For your reference, I have attached copies of my credit reports highlighting the unauthorized inquiries
