Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( XXXX XXXX Code XXXX ) says ( XXXX ) 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. 

This is a violation of both XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
Since XXXX I have attempted to correct the massive issue with Equifax and myself that they cant seem to correct. If they do, its only for the moment until my credit is pulled again. I have a mixed file with someone else. In the past, it was sometimes my mother due to our names being similar. Just today, I went online to unfreeze my Equifax report and when a lender attempted to run my credit it still said frozen. So I called Equifax again stating yes, they have an alert and I need to send on identity documents AGAIN. Ive sent these in numerous times almost monthly since Identity theft in XXXX. When this mixed file issue was once again resurfaced in XX/XX/XXXX I also sent the documents requested. When I call it seems they never can find these documents. Its a constant circle and nothing gets Corrected. I will make one more attempt before I seek legal counsel and proceedings as this has gone on far too long without any correction.
