Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, Equifax announced a data breach that exposed the personal and financial information of millions of individuals, including mine. As a result of this breach, beginning in XXXX and continuing through XXXX, fraudulent accounts were opened or attempted to be opened in my name without my authorization. Some of these accounts include those listed by XXXX and XXXX XXXX, which are reflected on my credit reports. 

Upon discovering these unauthorized accounts, I promptly filed an identity theft report with the Federal Trade Commission and disputed the fraudulent accounts with the credit reporting agencies. Despite my actions, the disputed accounts have remained on my credit reports, affecting my creditworthiness and causing ongoing emotional distress and financial harm. 

Equifax was notified of the situation and provided with documentation, but has not resolved the issue by fully investigating, blocking, or deleting the fraudulent accounts as required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ( a ) ). I am requesting the immediate removal of these fraudulent accounts and a full investigation into Equifax 's handling of my personal data and subsequent disputes.

XXXX find attached a copy of my ID, FTC Complaint, Equifax confirming I was apart of the Data Breach, etc

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this formal complaint against Equifax for repeated and egregious violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), codified at 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. Over an extended period of time spanning a year, I have submitted numerous formal disputes regarding the fraudulent XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which was accessed and reported without a permissible purpose in direct violation of 1681b ( a ). Despite providing all required documentationincluding government-issued identification, proof of address, a valid Identity Theft Report, and a signed statement under penalty of perjuryEquifax has failed to take corrective action or respond as required by law. My signed statement under penalty of perjury was submitted in accordance with FCRA 605B, which requires credit reporting agencies to block fraudulent information when a consumer provides proper identity theft documentation. This sworn statement affirms that the disputed account was not authorized by me and is the result of identity theft, and it legally obligates Equifax to block the account within XXXX business days of receipt. Their failure to do so is a direct violation of 605B ( a ). 
The following letters were sent as part of my ongoing efforts to resolve this matter : XX/XX/XXXX Sent-Dispute Letter XX/XX/XXXX Sent-Intent to file suit- violation of the FCRA XX/XX/XXXX Sent Follow-Up Regarding Dispute and Request for Reinvestigation XX/XX/XXXX Sent-ID Theft Non Compliance Letter XX/XX/XXXX Sent Continued Noncompliance with FCRA Final Demand for Deletion of Fraudulent Accounts XX/XX/XXXX Sent Formal Notice of FCRA Violation and Request for Reinvestigation XX/XX/XXXX Sent Final Notice of Dispute Violation of FCRA 1681i, 1681e ( b ), and Notice of Legal Action XX/XX/XXXX Sent Formal Demand for Statutory Compliance Following Account Dispute Pursuant to FCRA 1681i, 1681e ( b ), 1681n, and 1681o These letters, along with many others sent prior, were submitted in good faith and in full compliance with FCRA procedures. Equifax has ignored these disputes and failed to respond within the statutory 30-day window under 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), constituting repeated and ongoing violations of federal law.

Equifaxs continued reporting of the accounts mentioned after being notified multiple times of its illegitimacy and lack of permissible purpose demonstrates a pattern of willful noncompliance under 1681n and negligent noncompliance under 1681o. These repeated violations have caused me substantial financial harm, emotional distress, and reputational damage, including denial of credit opportunities and undue scrutiny.
