Consumer complaint received 2025-06-03 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute several unauthorized inquiries on my credit report, in accordance with my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically sections 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ), and 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ). 
I have previously submitted a formal complaint to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) concerning unauthorized inquiries on my credit report. The reference number for this complaint is ( XXXX ), filed on ( XX/XX/XXXX ). 
After reviewing my recent credit report, I have identified the following inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize : Disputed XXXX : Click or tap here to enter text. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX Basis for Dispute Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) states that I have the right to dispute any inaccurate or incomplete information on my credit report. I request that you investigate these unauthorized inquiries and remove them from my credit report.

Section 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ) grants me the right to access all information in my file, including the inquiries made. After reviewing this information, I firmly believe that the inquiries listed above should not be on my report.

Section 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) defines the permissible purposes for obtaining credit reports. I did not give my consent for these inquiries to be made, and I can not find a permissible purpose under this section that justifies their presence on my report.

Request I request an immediate investigation into the listed inquiries. If it is determined that these inquiries were made without my authorization or in error, I ask that they be removed from my credit report. I also request that you provide me with an updated copy of my credit report once the necessary corrections have been made.

Enclosed is a copy of my identification to verify my identity.

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Please confirm receipt of this letter and keep me informed of the progress of your investigation.
