Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint against Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion for their failure to remove fraudulent accounts from my credit report in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which mandates the blocking of information resulting from identity theft within four ( 4 ) business days of receiving a dispute and an identity theft report. 

I submitted my FTC Identity Theft Report ( No. XXXX ) and disputed the following fraudulent accounts that were opened in my name without my consent : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Amount : {$10000.00} These accounts are fraudulent, unauthorized, and illegally harming my financial standing. Under the FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), the credit bureaus are legally required to block and remove this information within four ( 4 ) business days of receiving my report. However, they have failed to comply with this legal mandate.

Legal Basis for Immediate Removal 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ( FCRA Blocking Information Resulting from Identity Theft ) A consumer reporting agency must block identity theft-related information within four ( 4 ) business days of receiving proof of identity and an identity theft report.

The failure to block or remove these fraudulent accounts violates federal law.

Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692e ( 8 ) Creditors and collection agencies must not report inaccurate or false information to credit bureaus. The listed accounts are fraudulent and must be deleted immediately. 
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) Enforcement Authority The CFPB has the power to enforce violations of the FCRA and FDCPA, including imposing penalties for non-compliance.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

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 ). 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 XXXX 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 XXXX 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 XXXX, 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 v. 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. 
XXXX v. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX Cir. 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 theft report. 
XXXX v. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX LEXIS 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:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations. 

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.

Complaint narrative:
After discovering -negative and unauthorized- information on my credit report, I suspected identity theft and immediately contacted Experian, Equifax and Transunion to dispute the items in question. I provided the necessary documentation to support my claim, explaining that these debts were not incurred by me and were a result of fraudulent activity linked to the Equifax breach. Despite my efforts, Experian, Transunion and Equifax denied my case, asserting that the information had been " verified '' and leaving the fraudulent entries on my credit report. This denial has caused significant distress, as these negative marks are damaging my credit and financial standing. I believe that Experian, Transunion and Equifax has not fully investigated the potential identity theft tied to the Equifax breach and l am seeking further assistance to correct the errors on my report. I remain committed to resolving this matter and protecting my tinancial well-being. ACCOUNTS LISTED BELOW : 1.
