Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
The credit bureaus aren't doing proper investigation nor sending proof or documentation as to how they came to this conclusion. I've never had a XXXX XXXX XXXX  account. These credit have damaged my credit score over XXXX points. I've sent proof there was a data breach and also an FTC report as to provide there was fraudulently compiled and yet there is a response in less than XXXX weeks. How is that possible. I have never had an account with XXXX XXXX nor have I signed a contract or accepted anything from this company. If this company or the Bureaus refuse to delete this account I will enforce my right to sue under all avenues. I have received the dispute results that your company has sent me, however, they have failed to make ANY corrections whatsoever NOTHING WAS CORRECTED ZERO, ZILCH, NADA. So, Im just so freaking frustrated and ticked off and hurt right now. Because while I understand that it may not necessarily be your fault, the fact of the matter is that this agency is still reporting and selling inaccurate information about me even though there are credit reporting laws which are supposed to ensure they report only accurate credit information. Your agency has blatantly ignored my dispute and have responded to me with these accounts being updated or remaining. Nonetheless, I have found 0 updates and have contacted creditors who have confessed to having no record of a dispute about me from your agency. This makes me absolutely sick to my stomach as Im sure it would the same for you if you were in my shoes! Regardless of what, Im writing to let you know that Ive been advised by legal counsel that Im entitled to recover money damages because of this. Every last one of these accounts are reporting information which varies from bureau to bureau so that in and of itself proves that these accounts are reporting inaccurately AND ALSO for some of them - I'm not even sure what they are so by the provisions of 15 USC, section 168li of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I demand a re-investigation and deletion of these accounts and if you or your agency refuses to do so, I demand the names and addresses of the Resident Agent or Corporate Officers of this agency who are going to accept the responsibility of your actions in this matter. Unless immediately notified otherwise, Im going to assume that 30 days constitutes more than enough Reasonable Time for the re-investigation and correction of my credit report. I'm entitled to validation of this account and not the E-Oscar verification that you're doing to make money from this account and your refusal to delete. I'm entitled to a contract which is something the courts will ask for when I take this case before this upon the refusal to delete this account which doesn't belong to me. This is the proof I will need to sue them in court and win. I'm asking for proof of validation of how they came to their conclusion and not just an updated credit report as thats not proof. Please enforce the FCRA rules and hold them responsible. I want proof of investigation an signed contract. E-Oscar isn't a proper investigation.A
