Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

XXXX XXXX is providing information pertaining to the identity theft that took place with my information. This company was presented with several police reports as well as identity theft affidavit report, federal trade commission report and now they report with the consumer financial protection bureau. 

Upon contacting the three major credit reporting agencies, I discovered that two of the three credit Reporting agencies did not investigate the information based on the fact that they thought it was a duplicate request. The documentation was presented with shows it was not a duplicate request and that it shouldve been processed immediately upon the consumers request to do so.

By failing to properly investigate this fraudulent item for the consumers request, this company violated the fair credit reporting act as well as the fair debit collection practices act. Failure to you processes investigation, has left the customer without any means of using their credit to take the services for their family. This negative item has impacted the consumer financially.

Furthermore, I also fear that this company has violated state and local laws. Upon receiving that information and their negligence to process the investigation, his company did indeed go in a different direction. They found a judgment on an account that they know was being disputed as I didnt either in an attempt to deprive the consumer of their money knowing that it will be a long drawn out process for the customer to receive any funds back.

I am out of town and my debit card was stolen. I expressed concern that I was staying in unsafe areas because I can not access my money, with not one apology. Concerns about my safety were minimized. Agents were rude, incompetent, and unable to resolve or understand simple problems. I spent an hour and a half with one dimwitted agent who insisted that he solved my problem. He did not. I also dealt with agents who felt entitled to scream at me and would not give their names. This isthe most incompetent group of " professionals '' I have ever encountered. WALmart would be better
