Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/19 3 accounts were added to my credit report. I filled out numerous disputes and two accounts were removed XX/XX/2019, but one remains that does not belong to me! The account is XXXX. I contacted Equifax and because I am a victim of Id theft, I requested an investigation online immediately. I received a response 2 weeks later stating it was verified. I called and spoke with someone in the disputed department in XXXX after the results came in and they stated they would reinvestigate the item, advised me to contact the company and within 3 days I received another message saying it was complete and verified. I spoke with XXXX at XXXX on XX/XX/2019 and asked for I formation on an account, I was asked my name and my social. I provided the information and was told an account with that information was not in their system. I told her that it was on my credit report, that I was told by the credit bureau to call but she could not give me the social listed because of because of privacy policies. I called Equifax, spoke with someone in their fraud department and requested an investigation and that the computer automated response was insufficient and I requested the following : 1. The description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information. 2. Name, address, and telephone number of each person contacted regarding this alleged account. 3. A copy of any documents provided bearing my signature, showing that I have a legally binding contractual obligation to pay them the exact amount claimed. And that an automated response or XXXX  verification was unacceptable. Due to the fact that the item in question is inaccurate and represents a very serious reporting error. I advised them that I was exercising my rights under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ( iii ) which provides that a consumer may request a description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information shall be provided to the consumer by the agency, including the business name and address of any furnisher of information contacted in connection with such information and the telephone number of such furnisher, if reasonably available. I received an email today stating my investigation was complete. I called and was told the same thing they received an automated response verified, by world finance. I asked to speak with a supervisor, to verify the method used and to advise that I had requested a re-investigation that was not computer message and XXXX, the supervisor advised me that the computer message verification system is the method utilized by Equifax. I specifically asked XXXX, to provide me with a yes or no, if Equifax would request proof, not an automated message from XXXX XXXX, showing my signature and social and he told me No.  Equifax would not use any other method besides electronic messaging to the company and that I should contact the company even though I advised that my information doesnt match and the company would not give me any information! This is a violation my my rights! Ive contacted my attorney and I will sue Equifax, I am a victim of their data breach, my social was compromised! This information is inaccurate and theyre the only bureau not properly investigating the information! The other bureaus properly investigated and removed the items after contacting the company for PROOF and the social was NOT mine

Company response to consumer: Closed with non-monetary relief
