Complaint narrative:
Subject : Follow-Up Complaint Regarding Verification of Fraudulent Accounts AND FINAL WARNING FOR INMEDIATE REMOVAL ACCOUNT To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally follow up on my previous complaint regarding the failure of EQUIFAX to remove fraudulent accounts from my credit report. Despite my submission of a Police Report and an FTC identity theft report ( FTC Report Number : XXXX XXXX ), EQUIFAX has claimed that the disputed accounts have been " verified. '' The following fraudulent accounts remain on my credit report, which I have previously identified as resulting from identity theft : XXXX. [ XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ] [ XX/XX/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 XXXXXX/XX/XXXX ] According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically : 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( 4 ) : Protects my privacy rights by ensuring that my credit information is accurate and not misrepresented.

15 U.S.C. 1681b ( 2 ) : Details permissible purposes for accessing my credit report, indicating that only authorized parties can access my information.

15 U.S.C. 1681i : Requires credit reporting agencies to conduct a reasonable investigation when information is disputed.

Additionally, I am invoking 15 U.S.C. 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( a ) and 15 U.S.C. 609 ( a ) ( 2 ) to request the removal and to demand proof of its verification. Section According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify, through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract, any and all accounts that you post on a credit report. Otherwise anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, credit reporting agencies are mandated to block information identified as resulting from identity theft. The claim of " verification '' does not satisfy these requirements, and it is evident that EQUIFAX has not conducted a thorough investigation, nor have they taken the appropriate actions to remove this fraudulent information. 
I also believe that the actions of EQUIFAX may constitute a violation of the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), as they have failed to adhere to the obligations concerning accurate reporting and consumer rights. 
I request that the CFPB investigate this matter further and take necessary actions to ensure that these accounts are properly deleted from my credit report. I also seek guidance on the steps I can take to protect my rights as a consumer in this situation. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this ongoing issue. 
Sincerely,

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
Equifax has my name wrong in their database, as well as my current address. I literally sent them government documents showing my correct information- my social security card, a court document approving my name change, and a bill with my current address and correct name on it. They asked for XXXX document and I sent them XXXX. They are refusing to fix this information after XXXX dispute requests so far! The other XXXX credit bureaus had zero issues updating my correct information ( they only had to update my last name ). I am extremely uncomfortable that Equifax is in charge of handling my sensitive information and refuse to fix it. They are even showing my name spelled incorrectly as the valid name on my account. I am appalled and disgusted by this company 's lack of professionalism and inability to efficiently carry out tasks that they are responsible to correct. We are supposed to trust these people handling our most sensitive data...
