Complaint narrative:
Subject : Urgent Request for Documentation and Action Regarding Unauthorized Inquiry and Security Interest Dear Equifax Mortgage Services, I am writing to address a concerning matter regarding an inquiry reported by Equifax Mortgage Services, which lacks permissible purpose and, as such, constitutes potential identity fraud. Per my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Sections 604 and 605B, I am requesting immediate action to rectify this situation. 

Firstly, I require documentation proving that I provided express written consent for Equifax mortgage services to report the inquiry in question. As there is no evidence of such consent or a court order, I must assert that this inquiry lacks legitimacy and is thus subject to removal. 

Per the FCRA Section 605B, a consumer reporting agency must block the reporting of any information resulting from alleged identity theft when identified by the consumer. Therefore, I am formally notifying Equifax mortgage services to remove this inquiry from my file within four business days.

Furthermore, it has come to my attention that Equifax mortgage services neglected to inform me of my right to rescission, as outlined in the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), specifically Regulation Z ( 12 CFR 1026.23 ). This allows me to revoke any rights waived, particularly those related to the security interest. I am requesting the CUSIP number associated with the security interest provided to Equifax mortgage services. Failure to provide this information will leave me with no alternative but to initiate a level 3 audit on my account.

I expect prompt compliance with these requests to avoid further escalation of this matter. Failure to do so will be regarded as willful noncompliance and may result in legal action. 

Please provide confirmation of receipt of this letter and a timeline for resolution of these issues.

Company: Affirm Holdings, Inc
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
We can keep trying this until you finally respond appropriately. Note : If you close this as a duplicate I will just open another and will continue to do so, until you properly respond. On XX/XX/XXXX I made a purchase using my Affirm card issued by Affirm through the Visa network. On XX/XX/XXXX the purchase arrived soaked in water with 1 of the 2 items not even being the correct item I ordered. I reached out to the merchant but did not get a response, so I initiated a dispute with the card issuer, Affirm. In order to initiate a dispute with the issuer, they require customer upload copies of their invoice, tracking information and any correspondence with the merchant, so I did. I also included photos of the damaged item. Days later associates from Affirm began to repeatedly ask me to send them documents, which they had already been provided. This went on for over a month, until they canceled my dispute and marked my payment toward the transaction as past due. Because of this my credit worthiness with the issuer has substantially suffered. The issuer has failed to comply with State and Federal laws and the Terms for Issuers set by Visa.

Complaint narrative:
I informed you of the exact information that was provided inaccurately in my consumer report over 40 days ago. It has been well over 30 days, and you have failed to update, modify, or correct the inaccurate information. Your constant neglect has plunged me into an abyss of adverse effects such as credit card denials, a diminished credit score, and an open-end invitation to be the disgrace of my family. Credit plays a heavy role in my life and your unreasonable reinvestigation procedures is the sole reason I lost my credit abilities.

The FCRA contains a maximum possible accuracy standard whenever a Consumer Reporting Agency ( CRA ) is furnishing my credit, which, is held at a, substantially, higher degree than just accuracy. Unfavorably for me, XXXX has frequently fallen short of the maximum accuracy standard. The information on my XXXX consumer report is furnishing different information ( referencing the accounts in this dispute ) on your agency compared to the other CRAs ; which, creates a misleading representation of me to other creditors and stymied my chances of receiving credit.

Complaint narrative:
Experian Consumer Assistance, I am writing to express my utmost concern and frustration regarding unauthorized inquiries on my credit report. Upon reviewing my credit report, I have discovered numerous inquiries that I did not authorize or initiate. This indicates a severe case of identity theft, and I demand immediate action to rectify this egregious violation of my financial security. 

The unauthorized inquiries are as follows : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - Inquired on XX/XX/XXXX These inquiries were made without my consent or authorization, and I have not engaged in any business transactions with the entities listed above. This blatant disregard for my personal information has put my financial well-being at risk, and I refuse to tolerate such negligence from Experian. 

I demand that Experian take immediate action to investigate these unauthorized inquiries and remove them from my credit report without delay. Furthermore, I expect Experian to implement additional security measures to prevent any further instances of identity theft and unauthorized access to my credit information. 

Failure to address this matter promptly and effectively will result in legal action against Experian for negligence and failure to protect my consumer rights. I will not hesitate to pursue all available avenues to ensure that justice is served and that my credit report is restored to its accurate and untarnished state. 

I expect a prompt response from Experian confirming the initiation of the investigation and providing a timeline for the resolution of this matter. Additionally, I demand a free copy of my updated credit report once the unauthorized inquiries have been removed.
