Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (VA)

On or about XX/XX/2023, I have recently encountered instances where my attempts to dispute certain accounts on my credit report have been met with responses indicating that my credit file can not be located. This has resulted in difficulties in addressing inaccuracies and discrepancies that are negatively impacting my credit standing, risk assessment, and overall financial well-being. 

Furthermore, these challenges raise questions about the credit reporting agencies ' adherence to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and their responsibilities in providing accurate credit information to consumers. It is my belief that these issues may be hindering the consumer empowerment aspect of credit reporting and potentially compromising data security. 

This practice has resulted in significant harm to my financial standing and has raised questions about the ethical and legal practices of your organization. I recently discovered, to my astonishment, that multiple accounts are appearing on my consumer report, indicating that your agency has been furnishing information without my explicit written consent. This practice not only undermines my ability to manage my financial affairs effectively but also jeopardizes my privacy rights as a consumer. I believe that this disregard for the requirement of written consent is a clear violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and potentially other applicable regulations. 

I want to bring to your attention that I have taken this matter seriously and have filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ). I am committed to seeking appropriate actions to address the harm caused by these practices and to ensure that such violations do not continue to impact consumers like myself. 

Attached to this letter, you will find a copy of my consumer report as evidence of the multiple accounts that are inaccurately appearing on my credit report without my written consent. Furthermore, I have included a copy of UCC-11, which shows that I do not have any liens or loans associated with my name. 

I will also include AGAIN a copy of my Drivers License, address, and social security card. Because every time I make a dispute. the 3 bureaus can not verify who I am

I purchased a vehicle from US Auto Sales with an extended warranty. I had to take the car to XXXX XXXX for repairs. I was given a claim number from the warranty company. After a diagnostic was performed on the car, the mechanic called me letting me know my warranty was null and void.

When I called US Auto Sales no one could give me a clear answer about what was going on. I had to pay {$1800.00} out of pocket due US Auto Sales incompetence. Now they have been bought out without restructuring the loan and I just dont know what to do at this point. I believe Im a victim of fraud.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX NC, XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023 Subject : Dispute Reasoning Letter - Request for Immediate Deletion of Unauthorized Inquiries from Consumer Report Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally dispute the presence of certain unauthorized inquiries on my consumer report maintained by your agency, which violate my rights as a federal protected consumer under the provisions of 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2 and 15 U.S. Code 1681b.

The fraudulent reporting of these inquiries is in direct violation of the principles enshrined in the U.S. Constitution, which upholds the sanctity of individual rights and protections. 
I kindly request that you promptly investigate this matter and initiate the necessary steps to delete these unauthorized inquiries from my consumer report. It is crucial that your agency takes immediate action to rectify this error, as the presence of these inquiries is not only inaccurate but also has the potential to impact my creditworthiness and financial well-being. 
Please find my information below for reference : Name : XXXX XXXX Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, NC XXXX Email Address : XXXX I expect your full cooperation in resolving this matter expeditiously, within the prescribed timeframes as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) or 30 days from this document 's date.

I would appreciate a written confirmation acknowledging receipt of this dispute letter and providing an outline of the actions you intend to take to address this matter. Furthermore, I request that you provide me with a copy of my updated consumer report once the unauthorized inquiries have been removed. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that you will handle this dispute with the utmost diligence and professionalism, adhering to the legal guidelines and your responsibilities as a consumer reporting agency.
