Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
This is XXXX XXXX XXXX submitting this CFPB complaint requesting the removal of the disputed account and information from my Credit File. It appears that my Credit File has been compromised. I was going through my records & noticed many files which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA, the Credit Reporting Agencies are required by law to remove any account which was found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute accounts do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for the Credit Bureaus and the bank 's records. Please remove these files. If the Credit Bureaus feel there is a possibility these accounts belong to me I will require all documentation which bears my signature. If the Credit Bureaus do not provide any records & claim the item is verified please understand I will seek legal action. I do not take kindly to games nor does my attorney. So please comply with the law so this matter can be handled swiftly. Please remove the disputed accounts as they were opened without my consent or knowledge, pursuant to Section 605B of Fair Credit Reporting Act : XXXX XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX IN ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX  ) XXXX Balance : {$0.00} Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$29000.00} XXXX  XXXX XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$0.00}

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
I am appalled by the lack of responsibility on the Credit Bureaus ' behalf. When will the Credit Bureaus going to fix all the erroneous information on my personal credit file? For the past 5 months my requests have been overlooked. Discontinue the stall tactics and please repair the following accounts. The Account XXXX XXXX XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/2008 Balance : {$0.00} has been paid and yet the current status is showing derogatory information that is unnecessary and damaging to my credit report, which is in violation of the Fair Credit Billing Act, 15 USC 1601, which serves to protect the consumers from unfair credit billing and credit card practices. This account should not be showing the derogatory status since they have already been paid for. Please investigate these illogical statuses and provide me with the date of the last activity for the account. REMOVE this account if unable to provide proper verification.

When I attempted to make the payment, XXXX XXXX then froze the transfer feature on my account with a fraud flag. I had to call in again, and they put in a request to unlock this and push my payment through. The payment was then successfully drafted from my checking account a few days later.

Complaint narrative:
It has come to my attention. That my personal information and my identity have been compromised. I received a notice in the mail that I was involved in the XXXX data breach. I find it very alarming that your company continues to violate my rights, by reporting my personal information and following accounts incorrectly. 
I have the right to privacy. 
15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A. States, I have the right to privacy.

15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ) There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy.

15 U.S.C 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) - nothing can be furnished on my consumer report without my written consent 15 U.S. Code 1611 - Criminal liability for willful and knowing violation Whoever willfully and knowingly ( 1 ) gives false or inaccurate information or fails to provide information which he is required to disclose under the provisions of this subchapter or any regulation issued thereunder, 15 U.S.C 1692 ( C ) Without the prior consent of the consumer given directly to the debt collector or the express permission of a court of competent jurisdiction, a debt collector may not communicate with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt.

15 U.S.C. 1681-11681x The Act ( Title VI of the Consumer Credit Protection Act ) protects information collected by consumer reporting agencies such as credit bureaus, medical information companies, and tenant screening services. Information in a consumer report can not be provided to anyone who does not have a purpose specified in the Act. Companies that provide information to consumer reporting agencies also have specific legal obligations, including the duty to investigate disputed information. In addition, users of the information for credit, insurance, or employment purposes must notify the consumer when an adverse action is taken on the basis of such reports.

Therefore I want the following accounts to be updated to the correct amount, date, status, open and closed date, last date of activity, and time.

If you can not complete this request, please delete the accounts immediately. I have provided an exhibit of evidence showing the inaccuracies of my reports.

Please investigate if every piece of information is correct. If not, please remove it from my credit report.
