Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I disputed information on my report in XX/XX/year>. This dispute was resolved and my credit report was updated appropriately. 

In XX/XX/year>, I checked my report using a 3rd party monitoring service. The report could not be accessed. I viewed the report using the Equifax website and realized my report had been mixed with another individual. There is a freeze and security alert on my report that I did not request.

I called Equifax to report the error. I mailed in proof of identity, as instructed. They never received the identity documents. 

I mailed again via certified mail. The documents were received on XX/XX/XXXX. I have called repeatedly but can not get any answers or resolution. On XXXX I requested the security freeze and alert be lifted. I am in the middle of bankruptcy and need to secure housing before the end of the month. The security freeze and alert are preventing creditors from accessing my file. I will be homeless if this is not resolved.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
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.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.
