Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (ID)

Despite multiple attempts, I have been unable to resolve the issue of fraudulent inquiries appearing on my consumer report. These inquiries are not associated with me in any way, and I bear no responsibility for them. Their presence has caused significant mental and financial distress. As a victim of identity theft, I have no alternative but to consider legal action if this matter is not appropriately addressed. These inaccurate and fraudulent items on my consumer report have hindered my ability to purchase my dream house and provide for my family 's needs. The impact on my financial well-being has been substantial. For your reference, I have attached a copy of the letter I previously sent to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), which outlines this issue and seeks resolution.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MD)

I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian, a consumer credit reporting agency, for their failure to comply with the request to block all items related to identity theft under section 605B of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

On [ Date ], I submitted a formal request to Experian to block all items pertaining to identity theft within four business days as stipulated under section 605B of the FCRA. This was in response to incidents of identity theft that have affected my credit report. However, despite the legal obligation and the time-sensitive nature of the request, Experian has failed to take the necessary actions within the specified timeframe.

This delay in action from Experian has placed me in a precarious position, exposing me to potential financial risks and further damage due to the unresolved issues related to the identity theft. I have made multiple attempts to contact Experian to expedite this process, but to no avail.

I am seeking the intervention of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to address this matter promptly and ensure that Experian complies with the legal obligations set forth in the FCRA. I urge your office to investigate this non-compliance and take the necessary actions to enforce the provisions of the FCRA, thereby protecting consumer rights and preventing further harm due to the negligence of Experian. 

Enclosed with this letter are copies of all relevant correspondence, including the initial request made to Experian, as well as any additional documentation deemed necessary to support this complaint. 

I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau take swift action in investigating this matter and take the appropriate steps to rectify the non-compliance exhibited by Experian. Your prompt attention to this issue is greatly appreciated.
