Consumer complaint received 2025-06-06 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. 

Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about! I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX To Midland Credit Management : Re : Account No. XXXX XXXX XXXX Under 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ) I am submitting this dispute through the CFPB portal in response to your communication dated XXXX, in which you asserted that my dispute of the above-referenced debt has been verified. Under 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ), once I timely disputed the debt, you were required to provide meaningful verification before resuming any collection efforts. See XXXX v. XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX Cir. XXXX ) ( en banc ) ( holding that verification must be more than a mere parroting of the creditors statement ) ; Clark v. Capital Credit & Collection Servs., 460 F.3d 1162, 1171 ( XXXX Cir. XXXX ) ( requiring some objective evidence of the debts validity ). 
Your letters bare assertion that the debt is verified does not satisfy this requirement. Courts have made clear that debt XXXX must produce documentation demonstrating their right to collect. See Avila v. Riexinger & Assocs., 817 F.3d 72, 7576 ( XXXX Cir. XXXX ) ( holding that a debt collector must provide meaningful evidence of debt validity in response to a dispute ) ; Chauncey v. JDR Recovery Corp., 118 F. Supp. 3d 1303, 1309 ( M.D. Fla. 2015 ) ( finding that a collector must produce original agreements or records showing chain of assignment ). 
Accordingly, please provide the following documentation : A copy of the original signed contract or agreement bearing my signature A complete, itemized statement of the account, including date of last payment, charge-off date, and all fees, interest, or other charges The complete payment history, showing payments posted and dates credited Documentation of the chain of assignment, sale, or transfer from the original creditor to your agency Any judgment or court order upon which you rely ( if applicable ) Until you furnish these materials, you must cease all collection activities and communications regarding this account, as required by 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ). If I do not receive the requested documentation within 30 days of your receipt of this submission, I will consider further legal steps to enforce my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
