I recently submitted a request for investigation of the above noted account, which you denied. I submitted sufficient information for you perform a reasonable investigation of my dispute. Unfortunately, you neglected to do so, the company XXXX their autopay system due to a glitch that occurred when My payments were due. I am unaware of any outstanding balance, I was not notified by XXXX and only discovered the issue after checking the credit report. Although XXXX acknowledged the problem and agreed to resolve it, they have not yet taken any corrective action. If you had investigated properly the results would have proven that I have never been late on this account though your company claims to has verified this.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I checked my Credit Karma account and notice that I have an inquiry on my personal credit report that I did not authorize. The inquiry is from a company by the name of CARD ASSETS, A DIVISION ; for XX/XX/year>. I immediately called Equifax, to inform them of this inquiry concern. An Equifax agent told me to make a complaint with FTC.gov, identitytheft.gov, and to go online to their dispute center to upload the documents. The agent mentioned that, by doing this, they would be able to dispute the inquiry right away. 

Note : The agent that I spoke with told me to go online to their website, in order to request a credit freeze. Without guidance, I had to figure out how to put a freeze on my account, as well as place a fraud alert on my account. This includes conducting my own research to get the telephone number for Card Assets Division ; agent would not provide it to me.

Note : I called Card Assets, A Division and was told that my information was not on file and they are unable to help me due to no information being in their system. Also, I mailed out more needed documents that the Equifax agent requested from me ; mailed to the address the agent provided me. This includes copies of my drivers license, social security number, FTC report, cover letter etc.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you, the ( equifax ) credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint.

I am filing this FTC Identity Theft Affidavit to report six fraudulent accounts appearing on my consumer FICO Equifax credit report, which I do not recognize as reported and which are the result of identity theft and fraud. These fraudulent accounts consist of credit card accounts opened at XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX, under account number XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX, under account number XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX, under account number XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX, under account number XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX, under account number XXXX ; and XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, under account number XXXX. These accounts have resulted in several fraudulent hard inquiries and fraudulent collections appearing on my consumer FICO credit report. I demand that the aforementioned fraudulent items be removed from each of my consumer credit reports and that all collection activity related to said items cease pursuant to my rights within the FCRA and FDCPA laws.

These accounts have resulted in several fraudulent chargeoffs, fraudulent late payments, and fraudulent collections appearing on my consumer FICO credit report. I do not recognize the aforementioned accounts, collections, late payments, or chargeoffs as reported. The aforementioned accounts, collections, and chargeoffs appearing on my consumer credit report maintained by you were not opened, made, or initiated by me. All of the aforementioned accounts, collections, late payments, and charge-offs are the result of identity theft and fraud. I have attached a copy of FTC Identity Theft Criminal Complaint XXXX XXXXXXXX and XXXX as proof from the US Federal Trade Commission that all of the aforementioned consumer credit accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud. I demand that the aforementioned fraudulent items be removed from my consumer credit report and that all collection activity related to said items cease pursuant to my rights within the FCRA and FDCPA laws.

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX New York XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> XXXX LVNV FUNDING LLC XXXX, SC XXXX Subject : Request for Immediate Removal of Unverified Account from My Credit Report Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to demand the immediate removal of an unverified account from my credit report. According to my recent review of my credit file, there is a negative entry related to an account that I have no knowledge of, and I believe this is in direct violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

This account, listed under [ Account Number ], is erroneous and should not appear on my credit report for the following reasons : Lack of Verification : I have not been provided any substantial evidence or documentation to verify this account or its accuracy. The creditor or entity that reported the account has failed to substantiate its legitimacy when requested.

No Knowledge of the Account : I have no knowledge of this account, nor have I ever authorized the creation or use of such an account. I dispute the existence of any contractual relationship associated with this entry. As such, the report of this account is false, misleading, and has caused undue harm to my financial standing.

Under the FCRA, you are required to investigate and correct or remove any unverifiable information on my credit report within 30 days of receiving my dispute. Since this account is unverified, I expect its immediate removal from my report, or I will be forced to take further action, including filing complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and seeking legal recourse.

Please send me written confirmation within 15 business days that this account has been removed from my credit file. Failure to comply with this request will not be tolerated, and I will pursue all available legal avenues to address this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
