Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccuracies on my credit report related to identity theft. I submitted my initial dispute on XX/XX/XXXX, along with a Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) Identity Theft Report and additional documentation supporting my claim. However, your agency has failed to meet its obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Violations of the FCRA 1.Failure to Conduct a Reasonable Investigation ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ) Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are required to conduct a reasonable investigation upon receiving a dispute. Despite providing a comprehensive FTC Identity Theft Report and detailed supporting evidence, I have not received confirmation of any substantive investigation into the disputed items.

2.Failure to Notify Me of Investigation Results ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ) The FCRA mandates that consumers be notified of the results of an investigation within 30 days of submitting a dispute. To date, I have not received any such notification, nor have I been informed of the outcome of your review or the process by which my dispute was evaluated.

3.Failure to Block Inaccurate Information Promptly ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) The FCRA requires credit reporting agencies to block information resulting from identity theft upon receipt of appropriate documentation, such as an FTC Identity Theft Report. This has not occurred in my case.

Precedent Cases Supporting My Position Your failure to comply with FCRA requirements is not only a violation of my rights but also exposes your agency to liability, as demonstrated in precedent cases : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) : This case emphasized that credit reporting agencies have a duty to conduct reasonable investigations beyond relying on the data provided by furnishers. 

XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) : The Supreme Court upheld consumer rights in disputes related to credit reporting inaccuracies, reinforcing the accountability of credit bureaus under the FCRA. 

Requested R

esolution To resolve this matter, I demand the following actions : 1.Conduct a reasonable and thorough reinvestigation of the disputed accounts and transactions associated with my identity theft.

2.Provide a detailed written summary of your investigation, including the steps taken and evidence reviewed.

3.Immediately block or remove all inaccurate information resulting from the identity theft. 

If this matter is not resolved promptly, I will have no choice but to escalate my complaint by filing with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and potentially pursuing legal remedies.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

I am writing to formally express The concerns i have of unauthorized transactions per Zelle handling disputes, in light of the CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform as a whole. Despite using Zelle numerous times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution and Zelle failed to investigate these claims adequately. They informed me that recovering lost funds were impossible and tracking these transactions were infeasible. The CFPBs findings indicated that Zelle has not only neglected to protect consumers but has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system, leaving its users vulnerable to scams.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this dispute regarding the following accounts, which have been repeatedly challenged and remain unjustly reported on my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Despite prior disputes, these accounts have not been removed, demonstrating clear willful non-compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ), credit reporting agencies are required to conduct a proper reinvestigation and delete or correct inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information. Additionally, 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o establish liability for willful and negligent noncompliance, entitling affected consumers to statutory damages of {$1000.00} per violation. The continued reporting of these disputed accounts obstructs my ability to obtain credit under permissible purposes defined in 15 U.S.C. 1681b and constitutes an ongoing violation of my rights. I demand the immediate and permanent deletion of these accounts to prevent further harm. Failure to act accordingly may result in legal action to enforce compliance.
