Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

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. ''

Complaint narrative:
" I am disputing inaccuracies on my credit report and requesting the immediate removal of specific accounts and items. These inaccuracies include unauthorized negative entries, incorrect addresses, and hard inquiries reported without my consent. These actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which requires consumer reporting agencies to block or delete information reported without written consent.

You have failed to ensure maximum possible accuracy, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). The reporting of unauthorized data also breaches 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which governs permissible purposes for obtaining and reporting consumer data. The inaccuracies have caused harm to my creditworthiness, and despite providing documentation, these errors remain uncorrected.

Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

Complaint narrative:
I previously filed a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) regarding unauthorized inquiries on my credit report that Experian failed to properly investigate and remove. XXXX conducted a thorough investigation and removed the unauthorized inquiries. However, despite this, Experian has not only failed to address this issue but is now actively preventing me from accessing my results. 

After filing the initial complaint, I received an email stating that my inquiry results were ready and that I must call ( XXXX ) XXXX to receive them. Since then, I have called over XXXX times and made every attempt possible to speak to a live representative. Despite my efforts, I am continuously blocked from speaking to a human, and the system refuses to provide me with the results I am legally entitled to. 

Experian is deliberately obstructing my access to credit information and failing to resolve a matter that has already been acknowledged by another credit reporting agency. This is an unacceptable violation of my consumer rights. 

I am now requesting that the CFPB escalate this complaint and take enforcement action against Experian for the following reasons : XXXX. Experian failed to properly investigate and remove unauthorized inquiries, despite the evidence provided by XXXX. 
XXXX. Experian is refusing to provide me with the results I was promised in their email. 
XXXX. Experian is obstructing my ability to speak to a live representative, preventing me from resolving my credit report issues. 

I demand that : XXXX. Experian remove the unauthorized inquiries from my credit report immediately. 
XXXX. Experian provide me with my inquiry results without further delay. 
XXXX. Experian be required to offer consumers an accessible and functional method of speaking with a live representative when necessary. 

I expect a prompt response and a thorough investigation into this matter. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this ongoing issue.
