Complaint narrative:
I XXXX XXXX : I hereby submit a formal complaint against XXXX AND EQUIFAX AND XXXX SERVICES FOR discrimination, retaliation, bank fraud, wire fraud, and violations of the RICO Act, infringing upon my rights under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ), the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and other pertinent federal laws. III. Active Complaints with FBI, FTC, and CFPB : This grievance is not isolated. The FBI, FTC, and CFPB have active complaints regarding similar issues with XXXX AND XXXX AND EQUIFAX highlighting a pattern of potentially illegal practices by the company. IV. Allegations of Bank Fraud, Wire Fraud, and RICO Violations : Bank Fraud : I have reasons to believe that XXXX AND XXXX AND EQUIFAX has knowingly engaged in deceptive practices to defraud banks or other financial institutions, which is a violation of 18 U.S.C. 1344. Wire Fraud : XXXX AND XXXX AND EQUIFAX is suspected of using interstate wire communications to defraud consumers, violating 18 U.S.C. 1343. Their actions have not only harmed my financial standing but have also illegally profited by using deceptive practices. RICO Violations : XXXX AND XXXX AND EQUIFAX actions suggest a pattern of racketeering activity. By accepting financial incentives for reporting, they may be in violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations ( RICO ) Act, specifically 18 U.S.C. 1961-1968. V. Discrimination : XXXX AND XXXX AND EQUIFAX has not only failed to unlock my CONSUMER report despite numerous requests but also appears to be discriminating against me based on my race, violating the ECOA. VI. Retaliation : Their refusal to address previous complaints and unlock my CONSUMER report seems retaliatory for filing federal complaints, violating principles of fairness and justice. VII. Discrepancies with Other Credit Bureaus : Other credit bureaus, namely XXXX AND XXXX AND EQUIFAX, have adhered to federal laws by deleting inaccurate information from my credit reports. XXXX AND XXXX AND EQUIFAX refusal to do the same raises serious concerns about their practices. VIII. Legal Action : If these issues remain unaddressed, I intend to escalate this matter legally, seeking remedies for the harm inflicted upon me due to racial discrimination, bank fraud, wire fraud, and RICO violations. IX. Conclusion : I urge the CFPB and DOJ to investigate these serious allegations against XXXX AND XXXX AND EQUIFAX. Their practices have caused significant harm and warrant thorough examination and intervention by your esteemed agencies. I anticipate your prompt attention to this grave matter.
