Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 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.

Complaint narrative:
These entries remain unverified and questionable. Despite multiple attempts to have these inaccuracies properly investigated and resolved, no meaningful action has been taken. I have submitted all required documentation and followed up repeatedly, yet the errors persist. This ongoing lack of action has caused undue financial hardship and has significantly affected my well-being. The mental and emotional toll of dealing with these unresolved discrepancies has been overwhelming. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a fair and accurate credit report, including the removal of unverifiable or incorrect information. I urge you to take immediate steps to verify and rectify these items, as failure to do so constitutes a violation of my rights under federal law.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is being submitted strictly to establish a legal paper trail. I am not requesting any corrections from Experian at this point. I am using this platform only to preserve a formal record of the violations that have occurred, and to document that Experian failed to conduct a lawful or fair investigation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Experian has repeatedly : Verified accounts using internal identity data that does not appear on the consumer-facing report Conducted investigations without disclosing which identifiers were used Suppressed dispute results while still marking accounts as under dispute Retaliated by locking me out of their internal system after I uncovered mismatched report numbers and access identifiers ( AINs ) Ignored the verified removal of disputed names, addresses, and accounts already confirmed by Equifax to be part of a mixed file This is no longer about the accuracy of the data. It is about how Experian willfully obstructed my right to a transparent investigation, denied access to critical records, manipulated the identity attached to disputed accounts, and violated multiple sections of the FCRA, including : 15 U.S.C. 1681g ( a ) Denial of full file disclosure 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) Failure to conduct a proper reinvestigation 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) Failure to maintain reasonable procedures 15 U.S.C. 1681n Willful noncompliance with federal law I am placing this on record not to request cooperation, but to document Experians misconduct in preparation for escalation to the State Attorney General, the Department of Justice, and any appropriate civil court. All supporting evidence has been preserved and will be presented to enforcement authorities. 

I am no longer interested in corrections I am pursuing accountability.

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Name : XXXX XXXX Social Security Number : [ Private ] Date of Birth : [ Private ] Subject : Request for Blocking of Fraudulent Information Under FCRA XXXX ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) Dear [ Credit Reporting Agency ] , I am submitting this formal complaint in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), to request that you block certain information from my consumer credit report. This information is the result of identity theft and must be removed within four ( 4 ) business days of your receipt of this request.

The disputed information includes a personal credit card account that was fraudulently opened in my name, as well as several unauthorized hard inquiries and collections that have subsequently appeared on my consumer FICO credit report. 
I do not recognize these accounts, collections, or inquiries, and I did not authorize or initiate any of them. 
These entries are fraudulent, inaccurate, and not reflective of any legitimate financial activity on my part. They are entirely the result of identity theft. 
To support this request, I have included the following documentation : A list of the fraudulent hard inquiries in question A copy of my consumer FICO credit report showing the disputed accounts, collections, and inquiries A copy of the FTC Identity Theft Report ( Complaint # [ Private ] ) verifying that I am a victim of identity theft and that the above items were fraudulently created Please act promptly in compliance with FCRA 605B and block all fraudulent accounts, collections, and hard inquiries as outlined above from my credit file. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I've sent this letter to all XXXX Credit Reporting Agencies To Whom It May Concern, I am formally disputing the inaccurate and unverifiable information listed on my credit report regarding the following account : Creditor : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Reported by : TransUnion, Experian, Equifax Violations and Inaccuracies : Inconsistent Reporting Dates : Date Last Active varies by bureau, ranging from XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX, violating FCRA 607 ( b ).

Misreported Credit Limit : Experian shows a {$0.00} credit limit, while others show {$1200.00}. This can artificially damage my credit utilization ratio and is materially inaccurate.

Balance Reporting and Charge-off Timing Conflict : Charge-off status does not align with payment activity ( last payment made XXXX  ). This contradicts proper charge-off protocol per FCRA and FDCPA. 

Failure to Provide Validation : Under FCRA 609 and FDCPA 809, you are required to show documented proof of the original signed agreement and the chain of custody of this debt. No such documentation has been provided. 

Consumer Dispute Already Active : As noted in Equifaxs comments, a reinvestigation is pending. Continued reporting of unverifiable data during dispute is prohibited under FCRA 611.

Resolution Demanded : I demand that you : Immediately remove this account from all three credit bureaus. 

Cease reporting this unverifiable and inconsistent data. 

Provide full validation documents, including original contracts and payment history, within 30 days. 

Failure to comply will result in complaints filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), as well as legal action for damages under FCRA 616 and 617. 

Please provide written confirmation that this item has been removed. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
