There is information in my file, stated below, that I have identified as information that resulted from identity theft. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, pursuant to XXXX XXXX police report, case number XXXX, I was a victim of identity theft when my wallet, drivers license, social security card and credit cards were stolen and these items were used over 20 times by different parties to commit fraud. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I was a victim of identity theft when a female impersonating me shoplifted items from a XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, Maryland. I received a summons to appear in court to answer charges of grand larceny. Upon investigation, I learned that that my information was made available in an identity theft ring that spanned across the united states and that there were multiple copies of my drivers license and actual social security card that was made available to multiple identity thieves across the U.S. I was able to get the criminal case number XXXX filed by the XXXX XXXX XXXX Police Department expunged due to the theft of my identity. 

On or about XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX announced that an unauthorized party stole data associated with certain user accounts in XX/XX/XXXX. It was then that I learned that my personal information was made available to third-parties and actually being sold on the internet. The number of times criminals used my personal information to commit identity fraud and open fraudulent credit accounts and apply for loans and other benefits is too many to count. Even though I have taken all of the security precautions after having my identity stolen multiple times, thieves continue to use or sell my data, which affects me to this day.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (PA)

I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax for failing to properly handle my dispute regarding an inaccurate entry on my credit report. Below are the key details and timeline of my experience : Date of Initial Dispute Submission via CFPB : XX/XX/XXXX Submitted a dispute to Equifax concerning inaccurate, inconsistent, and incomplete information on my credit report via CFPB Complaint # XXXX. Communication from Original Creditor : XX/XX/XXXX : Received an email from the original creditor confirming receipt of the dispute from Equifax on XX/XX/XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX : Received another email from the original creditor stating that the investigation was completed and the results were sent back to Equifax. Responses from Equifax : Dated XX/XX/XXXX : Received a letter from Equifax acknowledging receipt of my dispute, but requesting additional proof of identity and resubmission of the dispute. Dated XX/XX/XXXX : Received a duplicate letter, similar to the first, requesting additional proof of identity and resubmission of the dispute. Despite the investigation being acknowledged as completed by the original creditor, Equifax continues to withhold the results of the dispute, claiming insufficient information to verify my identity. This delay and request for additional information appear to be stalling tactics, as I have already provided all necessary documentation initially.

I attended a event in XXXX and my purse was stolen that included my personal information. A police report was filed with the XXXX XXXX police department, and I was advised to continue to monitor my credit report in the future. I recently pulled a copy of my credit report and noticed accounts and inquiries I have no affiliation with or knowledge. I contacted the credit bureaus in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX to request verification of the accounts. I was also informed that my information was included in an Equifax Breach. Furnishing information to my account with my written consent or knowledge is in violation of 15 USC 1681B. 

I have thoroughly researched, and these accounts being furnished to my profile are from someone using my information without my knowledge. Furnishing accounts due to identity theft further violates my consumer rights, specifically 15 USC 1681 c-2. 

I have affiliation with XXXX XXXX or XXXX XXXX XXXX.

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.
