Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request the removal of a fraudulent credit inquiry from my credit report. Upon reviewing my credit report, I identified an inquiry that was not authorized by me and appears to be the result of fraudulent activity. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Specifically, Section 604 ( a ), a credit inquiry can only be made with my explicit consent or as part of a transaction or application that I initiated. Since this inquiry does not meet these criteria, it is clear that it was made without my authorization and is therefore fraudulent.

Complaint narrative:
b'Company has disabled all access to my credit information for 6 1/2 months. Repeated attempts have been made to communicate with the company and typically result in agents of Equifax disconnecting calls and refusing to escalate to their management to address the issue. A written letter was sent to me stating None of my personal or credit information exists in their system which is factually incorrect. As this was a response to an investigative process with CFPB, this can be considered perjury.  CFPB also continually claims that I have failed to authenticate myself although their authentication process is completely broken and I have answered the same six questions since XXXX with factually correct information I can verify exists on my credit history with Equifax yet they state the information is incorrect. This shows will fill negligence on their part to correct the issue not only denying my access to my credit information but deliberately stating that factual information is incorrect to continue to deny the access. All attempts to request escalation have resulted in agents disconnecting the calls and refusing to escalate to upper management.\n\nThe written letter states I need to send copies of IDs to Equifax which have been provided on almost every call that has been made to Equifax since the beginning of XXXX Simply put they have copies of my ID  federal and state - and refuse to properly process them. Again this is a deliberate attempt on their part to continue to withhold my credit information.  \n\nPrevious complaints listed a claim that I failed to provide information specific to what is wrong with my credit report however Equifax refuses to provide the credit report to me. My rights are guaranteed under federal and state law, they have no rights under the law to prevent me from accessing this information yet they seem to act as if they do. The only thing thats incorrect with my credit information held by Equifax is the fact the agents have now begun to deliberately lie about whether or not factual information provided by the customer to them is actually factual. I can prove it is yet they refuse to have management get involved And restore my access.\n\nSimply because I cannot log into the website I have no ability to access my credit information that way and because agents lie about the veracity of the correct information I provided them and thus refused to provide me any support over the phone, I have zero capability of actually affecting the credit information held within Equifax'
