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: PA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I pulled my credit report in preparation for a mortgage application and discovered several accounts fraudulently opened in my name. Since then, I have taken multiple steps to resolve this issue, including disputing these accounts with the credit bureaus, debt collectors, and the original creditors. I have sent certified letters to all parties involved, but they have failed to rectify the situation and have not provided adequate documentation within the required legal timeframe. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), ** credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputes regarding the accuracy of any item in a consumers file within 30 days of receiving the dispute. The credit bureaus involved have failed to meet this obligation, as they have not properly investigated or removed these fraudulent accounts. Additionally, under Section 609 ( e ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ( e ) ), when an identity theft report is filed, I have the right to request all information related to the fraudulent accounts. This has not been adequately provided. 

The accounts in dispute are : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account # XXXX ) opened on XX/XX/XXXX with a balance of {$3600.00}, XXXX XXXX XXXX Account # XXXX ) opened on XX/XX/XXXX with a balance of {$160.00}, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Account XXXX XXXX ) opened on XX/XX/XXXX with a balance of {$580.00}, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account # XXXX ) reported as opened on XX/XX/XXXX with a balance of {$1700.00}, Collection account from XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Account XXXX XXXX ) with a balance of {$890.00}. The original creditor is XXXX XXXX, Collection account from XXXX XXXX XXXX  ( Account # XXXX ) with a balance of {$5300.00}. The original creditor is XXXX XXXX and XXXX ( Account # XXXX ) opened on XX/XX/XXXX with a balance of {$5200.00} I have also submitted an FTC Identity Theft Report regarding these fraudulent accounts, which further strengthens my case under Section 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), which requires the credit bureaus to block the reporting of fraudulent information once the identity theft report is provided. 

Furthermore, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), Section 809 ( b ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ) ), mandates that debt collectors must cease collection activity until the disputed debt is verified. Despite my certified letters, the debt collectors involved have failed to provide adequate verification of the debts within the required timeframe. 

Given that both the credit reporting agencies and the debt collectors have not complied with these legal obligations, I am requesting that these accounts be removed from my credit report immediately. 

All relevant documentation, including my FTC Identity Theft Report, is attached to this submission.

Complaint narrative:
Woke up to an alert on my phone that a new hard inquiry from XXXX XXXX was now on my Transunion credit report as of this morning ( XX/XX/year> ). I googled what that was and it came up as the XXXX XXXX for poor or no credit. I have not applied for credit with this or any lenders recently. I have gotten multiple emails over the last few weeks telling me my data was exposed in various breaches, and this could be the result of that. I thought I added Credit Freezes to all my credit files with the 3 credit bureaus but apparently, I missed Transunion, so I added one there today and found the number for XXXX XXXX. I called there at XXXX PST today and spoke to Lovely who gave her employee ID # as XXXX and explained anything they have with my name or personal info is fraud and asked what name or address was on the application or any other info that could help me file a fraud report or figure out if I knew who was trying to get credit in my name. She said she could not provide that information but did tell me there was a credit card application that was still pending with a status of " need supporting documents ''. She said she would tell someone I am claiming that this is fraud but that it could take up to 60 days for them to complete an investigation and send me any documented proof in the mail about what they decided the outcome will be. She also stated instructions regarding getting the hard inquiry removed in the letter. I told her I am filing a claim with the FTC and the CFBP and asked if there was a way to expedite the investigation or proof letter in case I needed to give any of that to them and because Transunion told me they will not remove any hard inquiries without documentation of a claim from one of those agencies or some other hand written request being mailed in but she said no. I am just trying to get rid of any ties to this fraudulent account as quickly as possible so I can feel secure again and not end up with any financial burdens that are not mine to deal with.
