Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

Equifax discovered in XXXX XXXX that they were subject to a data breach starting in XXXX XXXX but did not report it to consumers until XXXX XXXX. This subjected consumers to a security risk that they have been unable to do anything to mitigate. 

On top of that senior executives in the company have suffered no losses because they have cashed out before the announcement. This represents unfair trading practices. 

Third, they are offering a service in relation to the hack which requires users signing up to waive their ability to participate in a class action lawsuit. This is a move designed to protect the company and not the consumer, the true victim of the data breach. 

These moves demonstrate a reckless and negligent attitude toward managing sensitive data.

My consumer rights are being violated with this inaccurate information! I have a right to be treated fairly by those who control it, so please provide me all available details on how they came up short in their responsibilities towards accuracy and compliance. I am officially challenging you to review your data on file for me! With the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) section 611 ( 15 U S C 1681I ) and XXXX XXXX compliance standards, I challenge all inaccuracies or deficiencies in reporting. The credit report I received was not accurate, which surprises me because you should be adhering to the FCRA and applicable XXXX XXXX data field formatting standards. As a consumer, I have listed the concerns about your reporting in this document. It is not complete and does not meet applicable standards because according to law you are required for both FCRAs as well as XXXX XXXX compliance which must be done truthfully with correct information being provided timely so that none of my rights are violated I am aware that you have been sending out form letters in response to many of the disputes and challenges that consumers have submitted, regardless of the specific information that they have provided. This is illegal, as each dispute and challenge must be addressed individually and on its own merits. My letters were created using software that is available to everyone. If you don't process my letters, you are violating 15 U.S. Code 5 1681i. Keep in mind, that you are not allowed to delay processing letters from consumers based on the assumption that help from a third party may be available. This is not a legal exception. I am the author of any letters you receive with my name on them. Either I or my advisors wrote them with my full knowledge and consent. I am aware that no law says you need to provide a Power of Attorney to delay processing letters from a consumer. If you do not process my letters promptly, I will consider it to be an intentional disregard of my rights as a consumer. I will then contact my lawyer to take legal action.

Dear CFPB : I have attempted to resolve an ongoing issue with CRA Equifax for several months now. As of date, the issue has not been resolved. Instead, the issues have worsened. 

Equifax please note : I am writing to inform you that I am aware of your illegal practices of sending form letters in response to disputes and challenges from consumers, regardless of the specific information that they may provide. This is in violation of 15 U.S. Code 5 1681i, which requires that each dispute and challenge must be individually and on its own merits. My letters were created using software that is available to everyone. If you do not process my letters, you are violating my rights as a consumer. I will consider this to be an intentional disregard of my rights, and I will consider all legal remedies available to me. 

Equifax states that XXXX XXXX has verified the public record information that is FALSELY listed in my credit report is " verified '' as " accurate ''. How could this be? XXXX XXXX has removed the " unverified '' public record from my credit report in 2022. I am kindly asking that your company does 1 of 3 things. Provide the names of the person that reported the public record, your permissible purpose for reporting the public record and the steps you took to obtain your information. 

Equifax also reports FALSELY an account that has been closed for years within my credit report. The name of the account is XXXX XXXX XXXX. I am attaching for your viewing pleasure how you as a CRA have toyed with my credit report. This has caused me great harm and I'm entitled to ACTAUL and PUNITITIVE Damages due to your FALSE reporting. Please remove the entire account or pay me in the form of a check {$1000.00} per the FCRA for however long you have reported this erroneous information. 

Please update the XXXX XXXX account show positive payment history as the account is closed, paid in full and was never late.

I have been disputing these inaccurate accounts on my credit reports for some time now. XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX are reporting accounts that I did not open or authorize and have filed an FTC for and submitted to each credit bureau and yet they are still reporting these accounts. According to the law these accounts were supposed to be deleted from my reports within 7 days of the credit bureaus receiving my FTC report. I have not received any documents from XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX or any of the consumer reporting agencies regarding these accounts with sufficient proof this debt belongs to me. These accounts are also reporting multiple inaccuracies which is illegal. It is my right as a consumer to obtain all documents pertaining to accounts on my reports at my request. It is the responsibility of all consumer reporting agencies to properly investigate disputes and ensure they are reporting accurate information on a consumers reports. I am demanding that these accounts are deleted from my credit reports!

Equifax had a serious data breach. Affected are 143 million " customers. '' In order to find out if we 're affected, equifax put up a web page telling people what to do. They show three links ( please see attached jpgs for screenshots ) on this webpage https : //www.equifaxsecurity2017.com/ " Potential Impact, '' " Enroll, '' and " Contact Us. '' Clicking on " Potential Impact '' takes you to another screen that describes how to check if one 's data has been compromised and states that one will have an opportunity to register for Trusted ID Premier, a credit protection service. Clicking on " Check Potential Impact '' takes one to the screen where one enters one 's Last Name, the last 6 digits of one 's SSN. Last night, when I checked my data, instead of seeing the screen that stated whether or not I had been affected, the system told me I was automatically enrolled in Trusted ID Premier. I was not given a choice. 

Enrolling in Trusted ID Premier without my consent has waived my right to sue Equifax for damages. I did not consent to that. The web page did the very same thing for my husband as well. The image titled " auto-enroll in Trusted ID.jpg '' shows the progression of how the screens interacted with each other.
We do n't want to enrolled in Trusted ID Premier. We never wanted to be enrolled in Trusted ID Premier. Neither I nor my husband consent to waiving our rights to sue Equifax.
They should not be enrolling people automatically. It is unethical and immoral and probably illegal. I demand to be unenrolled in Trusted ID Premier. My husband demands to be unenrolled in Trusted ID Premier.
We also demand an investigation into Equifax to determine whether it acted unlawfully in delaying to notify people of the breach so that executives could participate in the stock sale. See the XXXX XXXX article here : XXXX XXXX  XXXX for more details on that.

I opened a checking account in Bank of America about one month ago. Before that, I did n't have any business relationship with BOA. 

After getting my debit card, I tried to activate it. But when I made the phone call, the custom service told me that my account is permanent closed by BOA. And I can not have any account for lift time with Bank of America. When I asked the reason, BOA risk department just told me again and again : " It is a business decision ''. 

I do n't understand why BOA first approved my account application and closed it immediately. I did n't do anything harm on BOA. And considering I never owned a BOA account, debit card or a credit card, I really can not understand why BOA did it.
