Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax for failure to properly investigate and remove fraudulent accounts from my credit file after I submitted a valid FTC Identity Theft Report, a government-issued ID, proof of address, and a written dispute. 

I am a documented victim of identity theft. My credit reports from all three bureaus show multiple unauthorized, inaccurate, and fraudulent accounts that I did not open, use, or authorize. These include : XXXX XXXX ( # XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX ( multiple accounts ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Bank XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX These accounts include collections, charge-offs, late payments, and negative remarks I did not cause. I also discovered several hard inquiries I never authorized and addresses that are not mine. 

I have only one mailable address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, SC XXXX. Any other addresses on file are inaccurate and not associated with me. 

Despite sending my dispute documentation including an FTC Identity Theft Report, the credit bureaus have failed to fully remove these accounts or provide a legally compliant investigation. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act : 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( FCRA 611 ) requires a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed items.

15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ( FCRA 605B ) requires identity theft-related information to be blocked upon receipt of an identity theft report.

15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) requires furnishers to correct or delete inaccurate data when notified by a CRA.

15 U.S.C. 1692e and 1692g ( FDCPA ) prohibit the continued reporting of unverifiable and fraudulent debts.

The continued reporting of these accounts is harming my credit, blocking financial opportunities, and causing stress. I am requesting the CFPB assist in compelling each bureau to : Permanently delete all fraudulent and disputed accounts Remove all unauthorized inquiries Correct personal information including addresses Send me updated credit reports showing all corrections Thank you for your help in enforcing compliance with federal consumer protection laws.

Despite my formal dispute and request for a thorough investigation, EXPERIAN, has continued to report this account without verifying its accuracy or providing me with documentation supporting its validity.
