Complaint narrative:
I am filing this formal complaint against the following companies for unauthorized and unlawful credit inquiries that have appeared on my consumer credit reports. I did not apply for credit, I did not authorize any permissible purpose, and I have no knowledge of any applications associated with these entities : XXXX XXXX XXXX  Inquiry Date : XX/XX/year> XXXX XXXX  XXXX  Inquiry Date : XX/XX/year> These inquiries are unfounded, unauthorized, and constitute a direct violation of FCRA 604 ( a ), which states that a consumer reporting agency may only furnish a consumer report for specific, legitimate, and verifiable permissible purposes. Since I never provided consent, these companies obtained my information without authorization. 

The presence of these inquiries has caused harm by negatively impacting my creditworthiness and exposing my personal information without any lawful reason. These actions demonstrate negligence, lack of reasonable procedures, and noncompliance with federal regulations governing the use of consumer reports. 

Requested Resolution : I am respectfully demanding the following : Immediate investigation into both entities for unauthorized access of my credit reports.

Removal of the unauthorized inquiries from all consumer reporting agencies.

Verification documentation showing written authorization, if any exists ( which I know I did not provide ).

Enforcement action for violations of FCRA if the companies fail to demonstrate legal permissible purpose. 

I request that the CFPB hold these entities accountable for accessing my credit file without my consent and protect my consumer rights under federal law. Please notify me promptly of all findings and actions taken regarding this complaint. 

Thank you for your time and attention to this serious matter.

I have submitted multiple formal dispute letters to Equifax Information Services LLC regarding inaccurate and unverifiable information on my credit report ( see attached copies ).

I have exhausted all attempts to resolve this matter directly with the credit bureau. I now request the CFPB to investigate and enforce compliance.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report.

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress.

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

State: KY

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute fraudulent information listed on my credit report, pursuant to my rights under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, and to request the immediate block and removal of this information. For evidence, I have attached a copy of my FTC Identity Theft Report ( FTC Report Number : XXXX ). 
As stipulated by 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, upon the filing of an identity theft report, consumer reporting agencies are required to block any information identified by the consumer as stemming from the theft within four ( 4 ) business days.

The following items on my report are a direct result of identity theft and must be blocked : XXXX - XX/XX/year> XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX In compliance with 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I respectfully request that these accounts be immediately frozen on my credit report. This block must remain in effect for a period of no less than one year, subject to extension, and during this time, no information related to these fraudulent accounts may be reported.

I have previously contacted the bureau on multiple occasions regarding these accounts, yet the matter remains unresolved. The continued presence of these inaccurate items is causing significant personal and financial hardship by obstructing my ability to secure financing for a home and other essential financial tools. Furthermore, these specific accounts have already been removed by other major credit bureaus after failing verification, which underscores the inaccuracy of their reporting.

In accordance with my rights, I also requested verification documents and contract copies from the furnishing companies for these accounts. After the legally permissible period has elapsed ( over 60 days ), I have received no response. Given the lack of verification and their fraudulent nature, I respectfully urge you to facilitate the immediate and permanent removal of these accounts from my credit file.

Complaint narrative:
An account is being reported under my name that does not belong to me. It has been mixed into my credit file and clearly belongs to another person. I never opened, authorized, or managed this account, and its presence is inaccurately portraying my payment history and creditworthiness. This mixed-file error is unacceptable and is causing significant concern about the integrity and security of my personal information.
