Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (AL)

( EQUIFAX ) I XXXX XXXX XXXX am a victim of Identity Theft. I have experienced tough and egregious hardships because someone has stolen my identity. I can not get credit anywhere. This has ruined  my life. I lost my job last year and tried to refinance my house and car, I was told sorry, we can not help you. I filed a police report this year on ( XX/XX/XXXX ) ( report No XXXX ) with XXXX Police Department. Ive also mailed in certified letters to Equifax. I received nothing. Im also sure my information was leaked due to the information breach with Equifax. I was instructed to go to XXXX. I was prompted to enter my last name and the last six digits of my social security number, at that point I saw that my information was compromised due to Equifax security breach.The thieves even went as far as filing fraudulent income taxes on my behalf! The thieves are continuing to use my credit. Ive faxed all 3 bureaus, as well as called them, At this point I have hired a Consumer lawyer to assist me in this matter XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX AL XXXX. He notice several instances where Equifax are in non-compliance with the FCRA. Im a victim but yet Im treated as if Im nothing. Equifax continues to report Fraudulent accounts and inquiries to my credit report and I want it to stop Immediately! Please note that I have already opted out of arbitration and have supporting documents and proof to support all my claims. I am sure that Equifax did not go through the original furnisher to verify these accounts are mine and they have to do so under the FCRA.If they did verify, they would have realized immediately that I have no clue of these accounts and they do not belong to me. Failure to notify me that Equifax will be reinserting an item on my credit report in writing FCRA ( A ) ( 5 ) ( B ) ( iii ) results in {$1000.00} fine. As Equifax has violated the FCRA.. Equifax has refused to remove fraudulent accounts after I provided proof. This is considered defamation of character and willful injury. under the FCRA section 623. I plan of taking full legal action if accounts are not removed by XX/XX/XXXX.
