When I called Equifax on XX/XX/XXXX, they confirmed my dispute was received under my correct name and would be resolved by XX/XX/XXXX. However, today I received my first " stall '' letter from Equifax, claiming they don't have a file for me in their databasecomplete nonsense. In XXXX and again on XX/XX/XXXX, Equifax confirmed I was in their database under my correct name. Yet, this time, their stalling letter had my name interchanged, with my last name now appearing as " XXXX. '' To make matters worse, I now have a red alert on my file, something I have never had before. 

I know my name, and my dispute letter clearly states my first name correctly as " XXXX. '' Equifax is now demanding I prove who I am. I spoke to a representative named XXXX and cited both US Codes regarding inaccurate information. When I asked if I could fax this information, I was told their fax service has been disabled. I dialed two fax numbers while on the phone with the representative and discovered both numbers were indeed disabled. Then I was told I need to allow 7-10 days for Equifax to receive the requested information, plus another 5 days for processing. This delay interferes with my goals and puts me past the initial completion date.

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

Also, I was never disclosed of ALL three of my Opt-Out disclosures which states a financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party under 15 U.S. Code 6802 unless all three disclosures were satisfied but they were not.

XXXX kept on sending me mails about my missed payment instead of sending paperless notifications which I kept requesting them to do. Additionally, instead of calling me from a registered customer service number they were calling me from multiple odd numbers. Obviously due to security reasons I did not respond or provide my SSN info. 

Then they reported my missed payments to the credit bureau. I requested a courtesy removal since my account is in good standing and due to lack of communication at their end several times. They denied my request stating that since these are valid notes, they can not delete them from my credit report as per policy. As an XXXX  and a XXXX XXXX, I did my due diligence to find out that they have extended this courtesy to other customers and deleted information reported to the credit bureaus. 

This is absolute and blatant discrimination and such practices should not be allowed. I requested them to provide a letter in writing that they have not extended this courtesy to other customers in the year 2023 but they refused to provide the same. I will have to take this complaint to the courts and file a discrimination complaint.

I want to dispute these accounts because it was affecting my credit report, it was caused by Identity Theft. I did not make these charges. I am having problems with this unfair treatment.
