'' Equifax and XXXX are consumer reporting agencies and I am the Consumer. I have the right to make sure my private information isn't shared which is backed by 15 USC 6801 which states '' It is the policy of the Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers nonpublic personal information. '' ( Equifax ) is a financial institution by definition under that title. 15 USC 1681 section 604 a section 2 states that " In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates.

I've disputed a fraudulent bankruptcy filing under US BKPT CT CA XXXX CASE # XXXX with Experian several times which Experian has continued to ignore. Experian claims they received this information from a 3rd party Vendor of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX which I've attached to this complaint as proof. 

Upon getting this information from Experian I've reached out to the vendor they claim that provided them this information and started a fraud dispute with XXXX. After XXXX investigated my fraud claim they came back that the listing in its database was fraudulent and they had removed it from all XXXX databases and I've attached that proof to this complaint as well. 

I've even went a step further and reached out to the US Bankruptcy Court in XXXX CA and upon calling the court they don't provide information to third parties nor do they verify any information what so ever which clearly proves that Experian has lied and been negligent in posting unverified information from the original furnisher which is the US Courts.

Subject : Urgent Request Regarding Identity Theft Investigation I am writing to express my extreme frustration and disappointment regarding the handling of my identity theft case. In XXXX 2022, someone fraudulently used my personal information to make a purchase from XXXX XXXX XXXX Despite my repeated attempts to resolve this issue with both XXXX and your bureau, I have yet to receive a comprehensive report of the investigation conducted. 

As a result of this identity theft, I have accrued approximately {$500.00} in interest fees for purchases I never made. This situation has caused me significant stress and anxiety, and the financial burden is substantial for me to bear responsibility for purchases I did not authorize. 

XXXX directed me to file a police report, which I promptly did and submitted to your bureau as requested. However, I have not received any detailed investigation findings from you, apart from the generic response stating that my purchases were deemed non-fraudulent. 

I implore you to understand the gravity of this situation and the toll it has taken on my life. The lack of transparency and urgency in resolving this matter has only exacerbated my distress. I urge you to conduct a thorough investigation into the identity theft case and provide me with a detailed report of your findings promptly. 

I appreciate your immediate attention to this matter and expect a timely resolution. Your cooperation in rectifying this issue and alleviating my pain and frustration is greatly appreciated.

Notice of Violations under FDCRA and FCRA Dear XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, I am writing to bring to your attention significant concerns regarding your practices, which appear to be in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCRA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The specific violations are supported by the following statutory references : 1.

The Congress, in its findings under 15 U.S.C 1681 ( a ), emphasizes the importance of fair and accurate credit reporting for the efficiency of the banking system. It is crucial that consumer reporting agencies exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy, as stated in the legislative findings. The specific practices that raise concerns include, but are not limited to : Furnishing Information Without Prior Communication ( 12 CFR 1006.30 ( a ) ) : It has come to our attention that [ Debt Collector ] furnished information to consumer reporting agencies without engaging in prior communication with the affected consumers, as outlined in 12 CFR 1006.30 ( a ). Improper Debt Placement ( 12 CFR 1006.30 ( b ) ) : There is evidence suggesting that [ Debt Collector ] has engaged in the sale, transfer, or placement for collection of debts that have been paid, settled, or discharged in bankruptcy, violating 12 CFR 1006.30 ( b ). Time-Barred Debt Collection ( 12 CFR 1006.26 ) : [ Debt Collector ] has been observed attempting to collect time-barred debts and issuing threats of legal actions against consumers for such debts, which contradicts 12 CFR 1006.26. Inadequate Validation Notice Practices ( 12 CFR 1006.34 ) : Our investigation indicates that [ Debt Collector ] has not adhered to proper validation notice practices, as required by 12 CFR 1006.34, thereby jeopardizing consumer rights. I urge XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to review and rectify these practices immediately to ensure compliance with the FDCRA and FCRA. Failure to do so may result in further action. I request removal of alleged debt.
