Complaint narrative:
They said I have the following loans XXXXXXXX Loan IDs XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX all of these on an XXXX  Virtual Cards. I never received any paperwork or documentation of any kind. I never signed anything. I dont even know what a Virtual Card is. I just was getting text and e-mails saying my payment was due on the XXXX to text a code to charge these and just listed the last XXXX numbers of a credit card numbers which I dont having any credit cards with any of the the numbers they had listed. I thought this was a scam so I ignored it. They say these loans were taken out on XXXX. They started the texting and e-mails I believe it was either XXXX or XXXX. I didnt start paying attention to this until they reported to Experian for delinquent account. I contacted them with the help of an agency I have a membership in called XXXX. XXXX did a 5 day investigation and is still claiming these are my loans which is not true. I used an XXXX in the past to pay for a hotel in XXXX payments, but it was drawn automatically out of my bank account. This has already severely effected my credit rating on Experian. I went from a XXXX down to a XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) 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. ''

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Federal Trade Commission XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Subject : Formal Complaint Against Equifax Dear CFPB and FTC, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax regarding the inaccurate information presented on my FICO credit report as of XX/XX/year>. It has come to my attention that my rental history is reported incorrectly, which violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

According to 15 U.S. Code 1681s2, furnishers of information, such as Equifax, have a duty to provide accurate information. Specifically, under subsection ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), a person may not furnish information to a consumer reporting agency if they know or have reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 

Additionally, the findings set forth in 15 U.S. Code 1681 emphasize the importance of accuracy and fairness in credit reporting. Inaccurate information can lead to significant consequences for consumers, undermining public confidence and impairing the efficiency of the banking system.

I am particularly concerned about the missing rental payment history that Equifax has shared with Fair Isaac and Company ( FICO ). This discrepancy must be addressed and corrected urgently to reflect my true creditworthiness.

I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to a timely resolution. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require any further information.

Thank you for your assistance.
