I, XXXX XXXX XXXX, am a natural living person. I am writing to dispute certain information present on my credit report, which I believe is inaccurate. This dispute is based on the provisions outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, including 15 U.S. Code 1681a, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, and 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ). 

According to 15 U.S. Code 1681a, the definition of a consumer report excludes reports containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the reporting entity. It is evident that the information in dispute falls under this exclusion.

Furthermore, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 emphasizes the responsibility of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies. The law stipulates that furnishers must provide accurate information and prohibits reporting with actual knowledge of errors.

In addition, 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ) supports my claim by specifying exclusions from the definition of a consumer report, highlighting the relevance of the disputed information to this exclusion. 

I am also placing a FTC reference number- # XXXX so that you can verify the inaccuracy of fraud that is placed on my credit report. 

Now based on the provisions mentioned above, I kindly request an investigation into these discrepancies and urge prompt action to rectify the inaccuracies. As per my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I also request that you provide me with a written explanation of the results of your investigation. 

Enclosed are copies of documents supporting my claim for your review. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and request that the inaccurate information be corrected or removed from my credit report at the earliest.

Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I trust this letter finds you well. On XX/XX/XXXX CERT MAIL ( XXXX ), I submitted a dispute to Equifax regarding unauthorized accounts and information on my credit file. Despite Equifax initiating an investigation, as indicated by updated remarks on my account, the necessary actions, including the deletion of disputed accounts, have not been taken. 

In addition, I filed an identity theft report and claim with Equifax on XX/XX/XXXX, accompanied by a completed Identity Theft Affidavit. Under FCRA Section 605B, bureaus are mandated to complete identity theft investigations within 5 business days and promptly remove fraudulent items. Unfortunately, Equifax has not met these legal requirements. 

Furthermore, I wish to highlight concerns related to privacy under GLBA Section 502. I was not given the opportunity to opt-out, and there has been no communication from Equifax regarding the process of opting out. This lack of transparency and choice is a violation of consumer privacy rights under GLBA.

While I understand that detailed steps of the investigation may not be disclosed, I urge the CFPB to thoroughly investigate and compel Equifax 's immediate correction of these matters, including the deletion of unauthorized personal details, as mandated by law. 

Your commitment to enforcing consumers ' rights, including privacy under GLBA, is crucial, and I am available to provide any necessary support for your inquiry. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
