Re : Violations of 15 US Code 1681 and 15 US Code 1681b ( FCRA ) Demands for Immediate Removal of Inaccurate Accounts from Credit Report Dear Equifax, I am writing to inform you that I have recently obtained my credit report and discovered serious violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The law is clear on the procedures that consumer reporting agencies must follow, and I have identified multiple instances where you have failed to adhere to these regulations. Specifically, under the law, it is unequivocally stated that a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under certain circumstances, one of which is \ '' in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates.\ '' I never provided any written instructions to furnish the following accounts on my credit report. Consequently, the presence of these accounts on my report constitutes a violation of the FCRA. Additionally, 15 US Code 1681 sets forth the importance of accuracy and fairness in credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reporting can severely impair the efficiency of the banking system and undermine public confidence, while also infringing upon consumers\ ' rights to privacy. As a consumer, I have the right to expect that consumer reporting agencies exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for my privacy. The following accounts on my credit report are demonstrably inaccurate, and their inclusion violates not only my privacy but also the FCRA.
