Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

This is a complaint against XXXX. The reason why I am writing this complaint is because on my XXXX, Experian, and XXXX  credit report on XX/XX/2019. This inquiry was not authorized by me, this was done under fraud. I will be brief, I did not authorize this and I do not recognize this inquiry. In this complaint I will submit all the documents necessary to verify that this inquiry was not done by my person. I am bringing this to the attention of the CFPB because when I tried to requested directly with the credit agencies and their response was that I had to do it directly with the companies that I asked them from. The most alarming thing is that hopefully no fraudulent accounts were open.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (WI)

I am writing to lodge a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX for their consistent and egregious violation of my consumer protection rights. Their disconcerting pattern of presenting resolutions and subsequently failing to enforce them has severely undermined my confidence in their ethical conduct and commitment to regulatory compliance. 

Issue at Hand Account Details : Principal Name on the Account : XXXX XXXX Severe Impact on Credit Profile : The gravity of the situation can not be overstated. XXXX XXXX 's repeated negligence and disregard for my consumer protection rights have directly contributed to a precipitous decline in my credit profile. What was once a stable credit score of XXXX has plummeted below XXXX due to their actions. This adverse impact compromises my financial standing and casts doubt on XXXX XXXX 's commitment to consumer rights and regulatory adherence. 

Pattern of Broken Promises and Credit Consequences : Throughout this ordeal, XXXX XXXX 's pattern of proposing resolutions, only to renege on their commitments, has inflicted irreparable harm. This sequence of events has not only revealed negligence but has also underscored the severity of their inability to fulfill their obligations, resulting in the compromised state of my credit profile. 

Possible Violations Potential Violation of Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : The sustained presence of erroneous and detrimental data on my credit profile, despite their proposed resolutions, could constitute a violation of FCRA Section 623 ( a ) ( 8 ), which mandates the prompt correction or removal of inaccurate information from consumer reports.

Potential Violation of Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ) : The persistent pattern of proposing resolutions without subsequent enforcement, combined with negligence in upholding cease and desist orders, might constitute a violation of CFPA Section 1036, which prohibits practices that are deceptive, unfair, or abusive.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (WI)

I write to you with grave concern about the unauthorized reporting of a minor delinquency on my XXXX XXXX XXXX account to my credit profile. This situation has not only unfairly impacted my credit history but has also violated the rights that exist to protect active-duty servicemembers like myself. 

Issue at Hand Name on the Account : XXXX XXXX Regulations Violated : Honoring Duty and Protecting Rights This situation represents a blatant violation of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act ( SCRA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), legislations designed to honor the commitments of active-duty servicemembers and safeguard their financial well-being. These statutes are in place to ensure that those who selflessly serve our nation are not subject to unjust financial repercussions, especially those arising from circumstances beyond their control. 

Specifically, this unauthorized reporting potentially contravenes SCRA Section 3952, which mandates protection against default judgments and stays of proceedings for servicemembers unable to appear in court due to military service obligations. Furthermore, the unauthorized reporting of this delinquency without my consent raises concerns about the accuracy and integrity of my credit profile, potentially infringing upon FCRA Section 605 ( a ), which requires the accuracy and completeness of consumer report information.
