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

I was reviewing my credit report and noticed multiple credit inquiries from companies I have never heard from or have done business with thus they would have no legal right to access my file. Further for the few companies that I have accounts with that they confirmed that additional credit inquiries were not initiated by them and they must be fraudulent. I asked them to remove them however they indicated that I would have to formally dispute them with the credit bureaus and to identify them as inquires that I never authorized or gave permission for my credit report to be pulled. To be clear this is a violation of federal law and this is very alarming that my credit file has been accessed without my authorization. Seeing as I already have a fraud alert on my file I am wondering how these inquires were even made as I was not contacted to give my authorization. 

The following inquiries are the ones identified that need to be removed IMMEDIATELY as I never applied for credit with these companies either on the date in question or at all and they did NOT have permissible purpose to access my file.

I called Chase put a claim in they removed the fraud charges. 30 days later they readded charges said it was valid because public records shows im married to the person who used it. I have never been married ever! I Called them immediately on XX/XX/XXXX and argued that I have never been married they said because I knew who used it I was held liable. I stated thats not fair i did not give them permission knowing them or not and appealed it. Chase refused to help so I investigated myself. I reached out to the person who used my card they told XXXX they didn't have permission and XXXX has taken all services paid for with my card and suspended the account yet chase is still charging me for services that are not even available and claim I benefited which I have not. I will not pay for services I didn't buy and now I can't use. They will not help me at all ive emailed fraud many times as well. My credit score I worked hard on keeps taking hits due to this.

I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction and concern regarding the ongoing issue of fraudulent items persisting despite repeated attempts to remove them. As a customer of Credit Bureaus, I expect transparency, reliability, and prompt action in addressing such matters.

I have made several attempts to report and have fraudulent items removed from my credit file. However, despite my efforts and numerous notifications, these items continue to exist unabated. This not only undermines my trust in your organization 's integrity but also poses a significant risk to my personal information and financial security.

I urge you to take immediate and decisive action to rectify this situation. Specifically, I request the following actions : Conduct a thorough investigation into the root cause of the issue, including any potential vulnerabilities in your systems or processes that may be enabling fraudulent activities to persist.

Implement robust measures to prevent further occurrences of fraudulent items and ensure the security of customer accounts and data.

Provide clear and timely communication to affected customers, including updates on the status of investigations and actions taken to address the issue.

Offer appropriate compensation or restitution to customers who have been adversely affected by the presence of fraudulent items, such as refunds or account credits.

Review and improve your customer support and complaint resolution procedures to ensure that issues are addressed promptly and effectively in the future.

I expect a prompt response to this complaint and a commitment from Credit Bureaus to address these concerns with the seriousness and urgency they deserve. Failure to do so will force me to consider alternative courses of action, including escalating this matter to relevant regulatory authorities or seeking legal recourse. I am asking for your assisstance to remove fraud items in my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Pulling all of my reports, I see that they all were listed negatively, and inaccurately ; payment dates were incorrect, balances are incorrect, last payment dates, account numbers, they are all mismatching across each bureau. Per my research, these accounts must be removed per the FCRA and FDCPA.

This is so annoying & frustrating. Ive sent XXXX multiple letters that Im the one whos disputing the items that are UNKNOWN to me. In XXXX responses that make the claim that have not initiated any disputes on my behalf due to the fraudulent or high risk nature, and the documents I provided have either been confirmed as fraudulent or deemed as high risk due to the potential for fraud. This is a complete joke. How in the world did they verify these claims? First of all, I know that under FCRA Section 619 Obtaining information under false pretenses that any person who knowingly and willfully obtains information on a consumer from a consumer reporting agency under false pretenses shall be fined under title 18 United States Code, imprisoned for not more than 2 years, or both. Most importantly, I never sent my documentation to anyone else as it deemed as high risk due to the potential for fraud. Also, according to FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 3 ) Determination That Dispute Is Frivolous or Irrelevant ( A ) a consumer reporting agency may terminate a reinvestigation of information disputed by a consumer under that paragraph if the agency reasonably determines that the dispute by the consumer is frivolous or irrelevant, including by reason of a failure by a consumer to provide sufficient information to investigate the disputed information. ( B ) Notice of determination. Upon making any determination in accordance with subparagraph ( A ) that a dispute is frivolous or irrelevant, a consumer reporting agency shall notify the consumer of such determination not later than 5 business days after making such determination, by mail or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by any other means available to the agency. Again, under FCRA 617 Civil liability for negligent noncompliance [ 15 U.S.C. 1681o ] Any person who is negligent in failing to comply with any requirement imposed under this title with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( 1 ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure; and ( 2 ) in the case of any successful action to enforce any liability under this section, the costs of the action together with reasonable attorneys fees as determined by the court.
