Dear Equifax According to 15 U.S. Code 1681 - Congressional findings and statement of purpose under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
( a ) ACCURACY AND FAIRNESS OF CREDIT REPORTING The Congress makes the following findings : ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

As they are violations upon my consumers right to privacy as referenced to in 15 U.S. Code 1681 - Congressional findings and statement of purpose. Also, according to 15 U.S.C 1681b - Permissible purposes of consumer reports.

The validation of these furnishings must follow in accordance with the provisions of 15 U.S. Code 1692g - Validation of debts ( a ) NOTICE OF DEBT ; CONTENTS Within five days after the initial communication with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt, a debt collector shall, unless the following information is contained in the initial communication or the consumer has paid the debt, send the consumer a written notice containing ( 1 ) the amount of the debt ; ( 2 ) the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed ; ( 3 ) a statement that unless the consumer, within thirty days after receipt of the notice, disputes the validity of the debt, or any portion thereof, the debt will be assumed to be valid by the debt collector ; ( 4 ) a statement that if the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, the debt collector will obtain verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment against the consumer and a copy of such verification or judgment will be mailed to the consumer by the debt collector ; and ( 5 ) a statement that, upon the consumers written request within the thirty-day period, the debt collector will provide the consumer with the name and address of the original creditor, if different from the current creditor.

( c ) ADMISSION OF LIABILITY- The failure of a consumer to dispute the validity of a debt under this section may not be construed by any court as an admission of liability by the consumer.

My request for validation and verification of the alleged furnishings from Equifax should not only follow in accordance with the provisions of 15 U.S. Code 1692g - Validation of debts. But also, under lawful definition of Verification. Which is the declaration under oath or upon the penalty of perjury. A response in an Affidavit of Truth under the penalty of perjury validating and verifying all furnishings on my consumer report from Equifax will suffice.

I Demand Deletion and Removal of all furnishings from my consumer report as it would be proven that the furnishings are indeed inaccurate and incorrect.
