Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AR

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this formal complaint regarding inaccurate reporting on my credit file by XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax. This issue pertains to identity theft and violations of fair credit reporting laws, specifically under 15 U.S.C. 1692g, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I disputed several items on my credit report after discovering that my late mother had used my identity without my knowledge. She had access to my bank accounts and Social Security number, and it was only over a year after her passing that I became aware of multiple accounts opened in my name.

Some of these accounts had been previously removed from my credit report as a result of prior disputes but have since been re-added. This action contradicts fair credit repair laws and the provisions outlined in the FDCPA, particularly regarding debt validation and reporting accuracy. Additionally, debts arising from identity theft can not legally be transferred or sold to third-party collectors for reporting, further violating these statutes. 

I contacted XXXX regarding this issue and was advised to escalate the matter through this complaint process.

Accounts in Dispute : The following accounts were fraudulently opened in my name as a result of identity theft : 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 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Legal Concerns : Under 15 U.S.C. 1692g, debts related to identity theft must be verified and can not legally be transferred or sold to other entities without proper validation.

The reintroduction of these disputed accounts after prior removal violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires accurate and fair reporting of credit data. 
The recent class-action lawsuit against XXXX further highlights systemic issues in handling disputed accounts and the need for improved compliance.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence | provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.
