Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally address the ongoing noncompliance of your agency in relation to my identity theft report, which I previously submitted in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Despite having sent several letters, your agency has repeatedly rejected my identity theft report on the grounds that it was not filed by a law enforcement agency. This decision is not in compliance with the FCRA and fails to recognize the guidance provided by identitytheft.gov as mandated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). 

As you are aware, the FCRA at Section 605B and the guidance provided by the CFPB under identitytheft.gov clearly outline the process for filing an identity theft report. The CFPB specifically states that victims of identity theft can file a report directly through identitytheft.gov, which then becomes a valid identity theft report under the FCRA. Nowhere does the FCRA require this report to be submitted by law enforcement for it to be valid. 

Furthermore, under FCRA Section 617, your agency is legally required to investigate and resolve any identity theft dispute in a timely manner, and you are prohibited from deciding unilaterally what is valid or invalid when it comes to an identity theft report that has been properly filed. Your refusal to acknowledge this report based on your own standardsrather than what is set forth in federal lawis a clear violation of the FCRA. 

Legal Precedent : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ) : This case underscores the importance of proper handling of disputes related to credit reporting and emphasizes that credit reporting agencies can not disregard information simply based on their own internal policies when federal law mandates a specific process. 
XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ) : This case reinforced that credit reporting agencies must follow FCRA regulations, including investigating claims of identity theft in accordance with the law, and can not arbitrarily determine what constitutes an acceptable identity theft report. 
XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( XXXX. XXXX XXXX ) : This decision clarified that a credit reporting agency is obligated to accept documents submitted by the consumer, as long as they meet the legal requirements for disputing inaccurate information under the FCRA.

Complaint narrative:
Wells Fargo ran a promotion if you open a checking account in 90 days there will be a payout of {$300.00} I have not received it. I opened this account in XX/XX/. I tried to electronically deposit {$1000.00} I could not. So I went into a branch at location XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, TX XXXX. The teller told me if I signed up the account through the promotional website if I deposit the money here I should get the bonus of {$300.00}. 
So I deposited {$1000.00} at XX/XX/ XXXX. I called them on XXXX and asked them why I have not received it, the agent said the promotion began after XX/XX/XXXX. This made no sense because how was I able to apply through the promotional website on XXXX. I explained this to the agent and then she came up with another reason which was the deposit did not meet the requirement. Then I asked her why did she switch her reasoning, and she said that is just what her computer is telling her. The agent was being very ambiguous

When I investigated my credit report, I realized that some of the information was erroneous. The 3 credit bureaus are required to authenticate these accounts under Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ). ( A ).

Complaint narrative:
I am writing once again to follow up on my previous disputes regarding the inaccuracies in my personal information appearing on my credit report. My initial dispute letter was sent on XX/XX/XXXX, and I have yet to receive confirmation that my concerns have been addressed or that any corrective action has been taken. Additionally, I sent a follow-up letter on XX/XX/XXXX, but I still have not received a response. 

To reiterate, my correct and up-to-date personal information is : Full Name : XXXX XXXX Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX Social Security Number : XXXX Date of Birth : XX/XX/XXXX In my initial dispute, I provided supporting documentation, including a copy of my government-issued ID, a utility bill, and my Social Security card, to validate my identity and substantiate my claim. However, the inaccurate addresses remain on my credit report, which is unacceptable. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), you are legally required to investigate disputes and correct any inaccurate information within the mandated timeframe. Your continued failure to address this matter not only violates my rights but also raises concerns regarding compliance with federal law. 

I am formally requesting the following actions : Immediate removal of the erroneous addresses from my credit report. 
An updated credit report reflecting the corrected information. 
Written confirmation of the actions taken to resolve this dispute. 

If I do not receive a satisfactory response within 10 days of receipt of this letter, I will have no choice but to escalate this matter to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and consider further legal action.

State: TX

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 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. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.
