Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX GA XXXX XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX **Subject : ** Request for Investigation of Credit Report Discrepancies and Hard Inquiries Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally request your assistance in resolving inaccuracies and unauthorized hard inquiries present on my Equifax credit report. I have identified several negative items and inquiries that require immediate investigation and correction. 

Recently, I became aware that I am a victim of a data breach in which my personal information, including my Social Security number, phone number, email, and address, were stolen. I was also impacted by the widely publicized Experian and Equifax data breaches. Due to these breaches, I am deeply concerned that fraudulent activity may have been reported on my credit file without my knowledge. As a result, I am requesting that everything on my report be thoroughly verified to confirm it belongs to me, with actual evidence such as signed agreements or other verifiable documentation provided. 

I am aware of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), which provide protections regarding the accuracy of reported information.
