Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

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.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian, a credit reporting agency, for its failure to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and to rectify a violation related to the reinstatement of previously removed information to my credit report. I sent a letter notifying them of the reinstatement of XXXX XXXX XXXX account number XXXX to my credit report without proper certification of accuracy and notification, as required by Section 11 ( B ) of the FCRA. Despite waiting 35 days after sending the letter, Experian has not removed the erroneous information from my credit report for late payments that I have never been late on. I have sent you my payment account report and the mailing of proof of payment for the alleged missed payment, which Experian claims continues to violate FCRA regulations. Experian 's actions have caused significant inconvenience and potential damage to my credit profile, affecting my ability to access fair credit terms and financial opportunities. Despite my efforts to resolve this matter directly with Experian, they have failed to take appropriate action, demonstrating a lack of responsibility and compliance with federal consumer protection laws.

Complaint narrative:
My address is wrong and I want only one address reporting on my credit report. I have sent this request several times. ATTENTION DISPUTE DEPARTMENT I have reviewed my report recently. There were names and addresses on it that are incorrect - spelling errors or just plain wrong from my credit report, as allowed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i and the Metro 2 credit reporting guidelines. It has come to my attention that the following information on my credit report is incorrect : PLEASE FIX EVERYTHING IN MY PERSONAL INFORMATION THAT IS NOT THE FOLLOWING : 1. PLEASE UPDATE MY NAME TO : XXXX XXXX 2. PLEASE UPDATE MY ADDRESS TO : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Texas XXXX 3. MY ONLY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER : SS # : XXXX 4. MY ONLY AND CORRECT DATE OF BIRTH : Date of Birth : XX/XX/year> 5. MY ONLY EMPLOYER IS : I DO NOT WISH TO HAVE MY PHONE NUMBER LISTED ON MY REPORT.

Moreover, I request the removal of any other personal information currently listed on my credit report that is inaccurate and does not pertain to me. Specifically, I demand the removal of all other addresses from my report, as they are not deliverable to me by the U.S. Post Office and are not reportable under the FCRA due to their inaccuracy.

I have attached a copy of my identification card and a recent { bank statement/utility bill/ID } for verification purposes, as required by the FCRA.

Under the FCRA Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), I am entitled to a free copy of my credit report once you have completed the necessary updates. Kindly provide me with an updated credit report so that I may verify its accuracy.

As the FCRA stipulates, if you are unable to complete the investigation within the 30-day timeframe, you must remove the disputed information from my credit report. Additionally, I would like to remind you that under the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ), you are required to notify me of the results of the investigation within five business days after it is completed.

Thank you for your assistance in resolving this dispute. I look forward to receiving an updated credit report from your agency.

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX SS # : XXXX
