Company: LEXISNEXIS
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this formal complaint against LexisNexis Risk Solutions for misrepresenting the nature of my previous disputes and failing to address my complaints in good faith. 

In response to CFPB Case Numbers XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX, LexisNexis falsely stated that I was disputing certain data due to identity theft. 

LexisNexis stated : ... the consumer disputes the alleged inaccurate reporting of address, email address, and phone number records listed on their file due to being a victim of identity theft. 
This is categorically false. At no time did I claim or report that I was a victim of identity theft. My dispute was based on LexisNexis failure to ensure accuracy and failure to remove unverifiable information under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Nature of My Original Complaint : I requested the removal of inaccurate addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses that do not belong to me, based on : FCRA 1681e ( b ) : Inaccurate information must be verified with maximum possible accuracy.

FCRA 1681i ( a ) : Furnishers must conduct a meaningful reinvestigation.

FCRA 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) : Unverifiable or inaccurate information must be deleted. 
LexisNexis has not complied with these obligations, and instead responded with a fabricated claim of identity theft to dismiss or misclassify my dispute.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute an issue regarding a third party obtaining access to my student loan information and attempting to collect debt without my consent. I have recently become aware that [ XXXX a third party ] has been contacting me about my student loan and attempting to collect on behalf of [ the official loan servicer is The Department of Education, ] without proper authorization. 

I understand that the Federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ) and the Privacy Act of 1974 protect my right to privacy concerning my educational and financial records. Under these laws, you are required to maintain confidentiality and are prohibited from releasing my loan information to any third party without my express written consent. The unauthorized disclosure of my loan information is, therefore, a direct violation of these privacy protections. Please provide my ( WET INK SIGNATURE ) written consent that show that I authorize a third party to have my personal information. 

Additionally, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), a third-party collector must not engage in debt collection practices without having a proper legal basis for doing so. The FDCPA specifically prohibits third-party debt collectors from using false or misleading information, harassing debtors, or attempting to collect debts without proper documentation that proves they are legally entitled to collect on a loan.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally address the ongoing noncompliance of your agency in relation to my identity theft report, which I previously submitted in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I'd like to emphasize that I am the one submitting this complaint and there is no third party involved. Despite having sent multiple letters, your agency has repeatedly rejected my identity theft report on the grounds that it was not filed by a law enforcement agency. This decision is not in compliance with the FCRA and fails to recognize the guidance provided by identitytheft.gov as mandated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). 

As you are aware, the FCRA at Section 605B and the guidance provided by the CFPB under identitytheft.gov clearly outline the process for filing an identity theft report. The CFPB specifically states that victims of identity theft can file a report directly through identitytheft.gov, which then becomes a valid identity theft report under the FCRA. Nowhere does the FCRA require this report to be submitted by law enforcement for it to be valid.

Furthermore, under FCRA Section 617, your agency is legally required to investigate and resolve any identity theft dispute in a timely manner, and you are prohibited from deciding unilaterally what is valid or invalid when it comes to an identity theft report that has been properly filed. Your refusal to acknowledge this report based on your own standardsrather than what is set forth in federal lawis a clear violation of the FCRA. 

Legal Precedent : XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ) : This case underscores the importance of proper handling of disputes related to credit reporting and emphasizes that credit reporting agencies can not disregard information simply based on their own internal policies when federal law mandates a specific process. 
XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) : This case reinforced that credit reporting agencies must follow FCRA regulations, including investigating claims of identity theft in accordance with the law, and can not arbitrarily determine what constitutes an acceptable identity XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX. XXXX XXXX ) : This decision clarified that a credit reporting agency is obligated to accept documents submitted by the consumer, as long as they meet the legal requirements for disputing inaccurate information under the FCRA.

Complaint narrative:
" I am disputing inaccuracies on my credit report and requesting the immediate removal of specific accounts and items. These inaccuracies include unauthorized negative entries, incorrect addresses, and hard inquiries reported without my consent. These actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which requires consumer reporting agencies to block or delete information reported without written consent.

You have failed to ensure maximum possible accuracy, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). The reporting of unauthorized data also breaches 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which governs permissible purposes for obtaining and reporting consumer data. The inaccuracies have caused harm to my creditworthiness, and despite providing documentation, these errors remain uncorrected.

Ive disputed this company 3 times : XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX No one has been able to prove anything in regards to the letters being sent and I dont think XXXX is investing the matter of verifying the debt owed with documentation.

I would like XXXX and IQ Data XXXX investigated for their practices of false reporting on credit reports. Neither of the companies were able to send any documentation in regards to my dispute. Ive attached the letter sent to both companies below of my documentation requests. None of my request have been fulfilled.
