Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing several inaccuracies currently appearing on my credit report, specifically unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate or approve. These entries represent a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly 15 U.S. Code 1681i, which requires a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates that information reported must be accurate to the maximum extent possible. In addition, I am disputing a potentially misreported late payment. According to 15 U.S.C. 1666b, creditors must allow at least 21 days between the statement date and the payment due date before classifying a payment as late. Based on my records, this standard may not have been met, or the payment was submitted on time and inaccurately reported as delinquent.

Complaint narrative:
" I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about!

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute several inaccurate accounts appearing on my credit report that have not been corrected despite multiple attempts on my part to have them removed. These accounts were supposed to be deleted from my report, yet they remain and continue to negatively impact my credit score. Specifically, I am being repeatedly contacted by XXXX XXXX XXXX at my phone number, even though I never provided either company with this number or gave permission for them to contact me here. This is a new phone number, so the only way they could have obtained it is through one of the three major credit reporting agencies. I have sent written requests for full debt validation to these companies, but instead of responding appropriately, they continue to harass me. In addition, I have sent certified Cease & Desist letters to both the debt collectors. I have also filed prior complaints regarding this issue ; however, the problem remains unresolved. Based on these facts, I believe these companies actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act ( TCPA ). I respectfully request the Consumer Financial Protection Bureaus assistance in investigating and resolving these ongoing violations. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, XXXX

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX/XXXX/25 I was notified by XXXX XXXX that 4 inquiries had been made on my credit report - 2 by XXXX XXXX, one by an XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and an individual with my name and an address in XXXX, FL. After numerous calls to these different companies letting them know that I did not authorize these inquiries, applications were pulled and credit was declined. I put a security freeze on my credit reports and this morning, XX/XX/XXXX, an inquiry was blocked for a personal loan with XXXX. I spoke with XXXX and the loan was declined. When I started on this journey yesterday, I called Equifax to find out what was going on and I was told that XXXX  XXXX was probably just checking my credit to offer me more credit ( I do not have any accounts with XXXX  XXXX ). When I suggested it might be fraud or identity theft, I was told that it probably wasnt and not to worry! Through XXXX, I was able to see who had made the inquiries along with addresses and phone numbers. I was not able to get that with either Equifax or XXXX. Thank goodness, because I would have never known about the XXXX XXXX  and a loan might have been issued to the fraudster.
