The Congress has also stated that you Equifax are assuming a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit Pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( 3 ). Therefor youre only making pretend youre important or have a vital role without any proof ; 4. Furthermore, The Congress has stated Pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( 4 ) that there is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibility with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. By you reporting inaccurate information without my written consent first, you are violating my right to privacy which is in direct violation of this law and The Privacy Act of 1974 ; 5. Notice that Pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( b ) The Congress requires that consumer reporting agencies adopt reasonable procedures for meeting the needs of commerce for consumer credit, and other information in a manner which is fair and equitable to the consumer with regard to the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy and proper utilization of such information. You, Equifax are not meeting my needs as a consumer or being fair and equitable by reporting inaccuracies on my consumer file ; 6. Pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( d ) the term consumer report means any written, oral, or other communication of any information by a consumer reporting agency bearing on a consumers credit worthiness ; 7.

Notice that you Equifax are also in violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( 2 ) ( B ) which states any authorization or approval of a specific extension of credit indirectly by the issuer of a credit card. You are reporting multiple accounts on my consumer report in direct violation of this Code ; 9. You also cant claim you verified any accounts unless you can prove you did what you are supposed to do Pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( e ) which defines an investigative consumer report as a consumer report in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, etc ..., who may have information of any items on the consumer file which you will have to show me proof via affidavit of fact under penalty of perjury ; 10. Take further notice that Pursuant to this same mentioned code stated above 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( e ) there shall not be any specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor as the term creditor means the same as it does in 15 U.S. Code 1691a ( e ) which states that the term creditor means any person who regularly extends credit which in this case that would be me a consumer ; 11. As a consumer I demand you remove the accounts listed below Pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) which comprehensibly states that the only permissible purposes of consumer reports by any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under the following circumstances and no other and is in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates ; Pursuant to all the facts I stated above, here are my written instructions as to what I, a consumer in fact want removed from my report immediately.
