Complaint narrative:
For the past couple of years, I have been trying to get the credit bureaus to correct specific information on several accounts for years. The bureaus refuse to investigate and/or correct and/or remove any information regarding these accounts. The accounts are reporting incorrect amounts, dates, payment statuses and much more. Also, it's an obnoxious amount of inquiries, when I haven't obtained credit in a year due the reporting inconsistencies, but they won't remove them just tell me to ask the creditors, but I can't get past verification to even ask them to remove them because they are from ID theft

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2022 I reviewed my Equifax Credit report and noticed that their were inquiries that I did not authorize. 

I wrote to Equifax on XX/XX/2022 via certified letter and asked them to investigate the inquiries that I did not approve. Equifax received my dispute on XX/XX/2022 and sent me a copy of my credit report dated XX/XX/2022. 

In this report they only indicated that inquiries are a " Factual Record Of File Access and Will Remain on the Equifax XXXX XXXX for XXXX Years. '' In my initial letter to them I specifically let them know I did not authorize these inquiries pursuant 15 USC 1681B ( C ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( B ) ( 1 ). 

I sent them a second letter dated XX/XX/2022, via registered mail, in which they received it on XX/XX/2022 ; requesting that they reinvestigate these inquiries. 

Furthermore, they do not have my correct name on file. I sent them a copy of the first page of the credit report showing my name is not correct. I am a female and not a male for them to have " XXXX '' after my name. My identification was enclosed with my correspondence. This is what makes me concern, that they are supporting inaccurate information to be reported on my file, when the actual document was enclosed. 

I have not received any response from them to this date.

Complaint narrative:
13 Accounts : ED FINANCIALXXXX Title V, subtitle A, of this Act ( 15 U.S.C. 6801 et seq. ) requires the FTC, along with the Federal banking agencies and other regulators, to issue regulations ensuring that financial institutions protect the privacy of consumers ' personal financial information. Such institutions must develop and give notice of their privacy policies to their own customers at least annually ( except where exempted under section 75001 of the Fixing America 's Surface Transportation Act ( FAST Act ), Pub. L. No. 11494, 129 Stat. 1787, codified at 15 U.S.C. 6803 ( f ) ), and before disclosing any consumer 's personal financial information to an unaffiliated third party, and must give notice and an opportunity for that consumer to " opt out '' from such disclosure. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, this rulemaking authority transferred to the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection ( except with respect to certain motor vehicle dealers ), but the FTC continues to have enforcement authority. Subtitle A also requires the FTC and other agencies to issue regulations for the safeguarding of personal financial information ; this authority did not

transfer. T he Act also limits the sharing of account number information for marketing purposes.

( 15 U.S.C. 6821 et seq. ) prohibits obtaining customer information of a financial institution by false pretenses. The FTC enforces these provisions with regard to entities not specifically assigned by the provision to the Federal banking agencies or other regulators.

Also, Sections 131-133 of the Act ( 15 U.S.C. 41 note ; 12 U.S.C. 1828b, 1849 ) clarify the application of the FTC Act and other FTC statutes to subsidiaries and other affiliates of depository institutions, and provide for certain interagency information sharing.
