I tried to submit a dispute online so that I could attach the military orders. The agency 's system would not allow me to submit the information online so I did it by phone.

They are incorrectly reporting as " Paid out of collateral ''. There was never any collateral and there was never any money lent to me. This was supposed to be a savings account- for which they kept the money ( I was told would be returned ) and never provided me with a loan or any kind of service. I made multiple written requests for them to validate the debt or provide evidence of the collateral in question for which they have ignored for more than 60 days now.

It has been about 3 years since I 've discovered that the credit bureaus made an error, where they have me and my brother as the same person. We do have very similar names, mine being XXXX and my brother 's being XXXX, and our social security numbers only have a differing last digit while the rest of the numbers are identical. I have filed for dispute multiple times as my brother did, and we were also forced to pay a fee to correct this error last year. Just recently, I 've discovered that I still can not pull my credit report and all of my credit history is combined onto my brother 's. 

I would really appreciate any assistance in rectifying this issue as soon as possible.

I am submitting this Complaint regarding the fraudulent information I found on my credit report. The items I am disputing do not relate to any transactions I have made or authorized. I have reported the theft of my identity to the Federal Trade Commission and have enclosed copies of the Federal Trade Commission 's Identity Theft Report. I have been a victim of Identity Theft, my information was stolen and used to open these items without my permission or knowledge I therefore request that the Credit Bureaus immediately remove these fraudulent items from my credit report with the Credit Bureausr firm, or provide me with the exact source where the Credit Bureaus received such information, so I may take appropriate legal action. Below is the list of the fraudulent items I found on my Credi report. The accounts in question are as follows : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MI XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} - Previously Late/Open XXXX Inquiry Date XX/XX/XXXX XXXX Inquiry Date XX/XX/XXXX. I can assure the Credit Bureaus that I did not open these accounts or authorize anyone else to do so on my behalf. I believe that this is a case of identity theft and I am taking steps to report this to the authorities.

In XXXX, I discovered inaccuracies on my credit report provided by Equifax. The report listed several accounts that I never authorized and was unfamiliar with. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies such as Equifax have an obligation to provide accurate information and conduct thorough investigations when discrepancies are pointed out. 

Upon finding these inaccuracies, I promptly filed a complaint via the CFPB XXXX XXXX, demanding that Equifax investigate these accounts and provide proof of their veracity. In the same complaint, I cited 15 USC 1681-2, which explicitly states that an entity should not furnish inaccurate information to a consumer reporting agency. My intention was to resolve these inaccuracies swiftly, as they were affecting my credit score and could potentially lead to more significant financial issues. 

The disputed accounts included multiple XXXX XXXX  accounts ( with duplicate amounts ), a SABLE/CCB account and a XXXX XXXX XXXX account, amounting to tens of thousands of dollars. 

Equifax responded to my complaint by deleting two accounts from my credit file, which I appreciate. However, the remaining accounts were not addressed adequately. Equifax merely stated that these accounts have been " verified '' without providing any substantial evidence. Furthermore, they did not answer my question regarding their adherence to 15 USC 1681-2, leading me to believe that my rights under consumer law may have been violated.

As of today, Equifax has yet to show any proof from the debt collectors that verifies these disputed accounts. Neither have they shown any steps they took to ensure the accuracy of the information provided by these debt collectors. I find this lack of transparency concerning, especially given the potential impact on my credit score and financial stability.

I have reiterated my demands for these unauthorized accounts to be deleted from my credit file and for Equifax to provide clear, documented evidence for their verification. I also stated that if they fail to comply, I would seek legal recourse, including a small claims action against Equifax, for multiple violations including defamation of character, negligent enablement of identity fraud, and violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

I now anxiously await a satisfactory response within 5 days, including a revised and accurate credit report. Furthermore, I have also provided a legible and valid proof of my current address, which was previously deemed illegible by Equifax.

Equifax 's improper use of my consumer report has caused significant distress and financial inconvenience. The Fair Credit Reporting Act was designed to protect consumers like me, and I expect Equifax to uphold its obligations under this law.
