I am stressed and displeased that I see so many fraudulent accounts on my credit report. This is really damaging my credit worthiness. I am trying to buy a home for me and my family and this is not fair. I have tried several times to get these accounts removed. Let alone, my information was in an XXXX & Equifax breach some months ago so I thought you all would protect my consumer report. I do not feel that my information is being protected. This is a defamation to my character, and this is a federal law violation. According to, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) my consumer report fairness and privacy has been violated. I am upset!! I am depending on the banking system and credit reporting agency to promote my privacy and fairness and they have not. This is not right and going against my federal consumer rights. This is causing emotional and mental stress as of now. Also, it is illegal these companies should NOT be furnisher people 's information to 3rd party companies, so this is illegal, neglect and fraud. I have already reported this to the local police department and Federal Trade Commission. These companies and the credit bureaus can get sued for these damages. This is negatively affecting my livelihood and putting me in a bad space. I feel your database is inaccurate and I am filing ligation against this if these items aren't removed immediately.

The Equifax system keeps lowering my credit score without correct reason. This month my Equifax score was lowered XXXX XXXX  & stated it was because I got a new credit card. I did not get a new credit card. I can't help that credit I already have is bought out or changed. The reason states I have a new card since XX/XX/XXXX & XX/XX/XXXX & then goes on the say that I've had this credit card since XXXX! How can this possible relevant? Further the report goes to the credit company that was sold or transferred & states that my card was cancelled!! I can't help the internal workings of companies & I see no reason for a decreased credit score. My bills are paid on time, I seldom make the minimum payment but rather pay the full balance each month & yet Equifax is consistently lowering my credit score. As soon as I get the information regarding the other bureaus, additional complaints will be made. I had sterling credit 2 years ago & since then I've been lowered to the XXXX range for what appears to be no valid reason. Of course when one bureau does it, another bureau does calculations & takes to original lowing into consideration & proceed to lower my score further. This isn't right. I also want to know how to get my credit back to the 800+ range since no financial movements have been made that should have lowered my credit score to this degree.

Last XXXX of XXXX RE : Account Number I've previously requested my consumer report from you & provided all the necessary documentation & received a response stating that i didn't do as such. 
I received notice that you verified certain items on my credit report from the following companies : XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Please tell me how you did that. Who did you talk to at the original credit grantor? Did you write them? Was a XXXX form used or was this through electronic automatic dispute verification? Did you contact them at the same address/phone number listed on my report? The FCRA says that you have to tell me this in 15 days if I ask. Don't provide the generic response of how you use various methods. Tell me exactly how you verified them and include the full name of the person you spoke with. 
Also, what is the date of the commencement of delinquency? The original creditor is required to give that to you. So when is that? And when will this trade-line be past the reporting timeframe? Don't provide the generic " 7 years '' response ; I am aware of that. Tell me specifically when these accounts allegedly became delinquent, and specifically when they will be removed. Some of these accounts are reporting as charged off as well as being included in bankruptcy. So, which is it? 
Supply your response within 15 days or delete the trade-lines.
