Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NC)

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 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. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Equifax XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) blatantly infringe upon federal regulations, as stipulated by multiple statutes. 

Primarily, 15 USC 1681a mandates precise consumer information reporting. In this instance, the reported accounts fail to meet this standard, constituting a clear violation. Furthermore, the absence of a clear and conspicuous opt-out mechanism, mandated by 16 CFR 313, points to non-compliance, reinforcing the violation claim.

Additionally, violations of 15 USC 6802 and 15 USC 6803 are glaring due to the absence of clear consent for information sharing, directly violating privacy standards. The violation of 15 USC 1681b underscores a failure to adhere to permissible purpose requirements, further supporting the factual claims.

Moreover, the reported accounts allegedly breach IRS Pub 4681 and 5 USC 5528, as discharged debt is purportedly not reported as income, infringing upon tax and disclosure obligations. These violations encompass not only the illegal reporting of transactions but also the sharing of consumer non-public information with non-affiliates, actions explicitly deemed unlawful.

The solid foundation for these claims is deeply rooted in the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681a, 15 USC 1681b ), Code of Federal Regulations ( 16 CFR 313 ), and pertinent statutes ( 15 USC 6802, 15 USC 6803, IRS Pub 4681, and 5 USC 5528 ). These factual assertions demand immediate corrective action, including account rectification and compliance with the stipulated laws. Failure to address these violations may lead to legal consequences, as substantiated by the extensive legal framework governing such matters.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, as reported to Equifax, and XXXX XXXX XXXX as reported to XXXX XXXX manifest clear violations of significant laws and regulations. These violations are not speculative but firmly grounded in established legal frameworks. 

Firstly, 15 USC 1681a mandates accurate consumer information reporting. In this context, the reported accounts fall short, constituting a breach. Additionally, the absence of a clear and conspicuous opt-out mechanism, as required by 16 CFR 313, signifies non-compliance, reinforcing the violation claim.

Moreover, 15 USC 6802 and 15 USC 6803 are transgressed, as evident in the absence of clear consent for information sharing, a direct infringement on privacy standards. The violation of 15 USC 1681b points to a failure to adhere to permissible purpose requirements.

IRS Pub 4681 and 5 USC 5528 violations are evident, as the discharged debt is not reported as income, contravening tax and disclosure obligations. These violations encompass the illegal reporting of transactions and sharing consumer non-public information with non-affiliates, actions explicitly deemed unlawful.

The robust foundation for these claims rests on the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681a, 15 USC 1681b ), Code of Federal Regulations ( 16 CFR 313 ), and other pertinent statutes ( 15 USC 6802, 15 USC 6803, IRS Pub 4681, and 5 USC 5528 ). The factual assertion of these violations calls for immediate corrective action, including account rectification and compliance with the stipulated laws. Failure to address these violations may result in legal consequences, as substantiated by the existing legal frameworks.

I recently checked my credit report and sent a complaint to all 3 credit bureaus. I seen wrong dates, amounts, and accounts. They removed some accounts and then added them back on without notifying me or getting permission. From what I know this is against the law. My credit report went up and then decreased tremendously without any reasoning or updates. I have sent them letters saying this along with my ID and proof of address. This is affecting my ability to buy a house and I cant keep waiting on them. They are saying I am not sending in ID and proof of address but I have 3 times. Im tired of fighting and need these accounts removed immediately. I have also taken the time to highlight what was wrong with accounts. Many accounts say open and are marked closed or derogatory and also many accounts say I opened them on 2 different days.
