Violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of Information Equifax is required to follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy of the information it reports. The disputed items are inaccurate and unverifiable, and therefore must be deleted.

5. Violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681c-1 Fraud Alerts and Identity Theft Protections Due to the well-documented Equifax data breach, there is a possibility that my personally identifiable information ( PII ) was exposed, placing me at increased risk for identity theft. As such, you are required to take additional protective measures. 
6. Violation of My Right to Privacy 5 U.S. Code 552a ( Privacy Act of 1974 ) My right to privacy includes protection from the misuse or mishandling of my personal data. Any continued reporting of potentially compromised or incorrect data violates this protection.

Written confirmation of deletion. 
Full disclosure of all data sources used to verify the disputed accounts. 
Please note that you are legally required to respond to this dispute within 30 calendar days of receipt under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ).
