Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to report a concerning issue related to fraudulent inquiries on my credit report. I recently discovered unauthorized credit inquiries that have been made in my name without my consent or knowledge. 

These fraudulent inquiries have the potential to adversely affect my credit standing and overall financial well-being. I am deeply concerned about this situation and would like to request the assistance of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) in investigating and resolving this matter. 

I have contacted the credit reporting agencies, specifically XXXX, XXXX and Equifax to dispute these fraudulent inquiries. And they refuse to remove them. 

I believe that additional intervention is required to fully investigate and resolve this fraudulent activity. I kindly request that the CFPB assists in coordinating with the relevant agencies and institutions to identify the perpetrators and ensure that my consumer rights are upheld. 

I have attached copies of the fraudulent inquiries. Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. Please acknowledge receipt of this report and provide guidance on any further steps I should take to address these fraudulent inquiries. 

Thank you for your assistance in helping me resolve this issue.

Complaint narrative:
I am a consumer. There is not a third party representing me. I have explained to Experian that I am not liable to pay this debt from XXXX XXXX XXXX, they inserted this debt on my credit file without ANY notification or communication to me that this debt belongs to me which is a violation of FDCPA code**** section****I DO NOT owe this debt and this company XXXX XXXX XXXX has failed to produce any evidence that I am the rightful owner of this debt with them. I have explained this to Experian as well as sent proof ( attached ) of a fraud affidavit from the FTC and a police report AND the affidavit from the FBI. As an added measure, I have sent proof to this company that I am the victim of fraud and they have ignored my request to delete this information and discontinue reporting to the credit bureaus. This company has used stall tactics by sending documents that I did not ask for. I have asked XXXX XXXX XXXX to provide documentation of any information AND a contract with their name containing my original signature with them that I have signed. Additionally, I noticed that the date on the statement sent is from XXXX. This company is reporting that the date of the debt began XXXX of XXXX! Experian has received all of this information and they are knowingly still reporting that I owe this debt on my credit profile. The company has received my burden of proof ( attached ) and refuses to produce any evident documentation that I am the owner of this debt with them. These stalls and tactics are impacting and harming my life and the lives of my children and loved ones. Experian is in violation of several laws. This is a defamation of my character and damage to my financial life. As a citizen I would expect the very least and as a veteran I would expect some form of adherence to the laws which I have helped fight for in this country. I am once again demanding that Experian immediately and PERMANENTLY delete this information on this debt that I do not owe and discontinue reporting.I do not owe them and they are in several violations of the FDCPA and Experian is in violation of the FCRA. I demand that Experian delete this stated fraudulent debt from my credit profile immediately.
