Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ), The Congress makes the following findings : ( 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. 

( b ) Reasonable procedures It is the purpose of this subchapter to require that consumer reporting agencies adopt reasonable procedures for meeting the needs of commerce for consumer credit, personnel, insurance, 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 in accordance with the requirements of this subchapter. 

So, at any instance, where there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a deprivation of my rights and a violation of my privacy, as well. With my consumer report, I control what is listed and what is not, and if in the event any accounts are reported without my expressed, written consent, it is considered identity theft. 

The referenced item was previously deleted and REINSERTED and needs to be deleted once more before I seek to take legal action. 

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