Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations.

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies play a crucial role in gathering and assessing consumer credit information. However, they must exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. The banking system relies on accurate and fair credit reporting, and when these reporting methods are unfair, it undermines public trust, which is vital for the system 's stability. I never gave my explicit, written consent for these agencies to report my information, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ). This violation has led to an alleged case of identity theft, breaching 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. The accounts in question are not related to any transactions made by me. 

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was created to ensure that laws and procedures are in place to protect consumers from abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices by debt collectors. In this case, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692f, which prohibits debt collectors from using unfair or unconscionable means to collect a debt. Specifically, they can not collect any amounts that arent explicitly authorized by the agreement or allowed by law. Additionally, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692e, which prohibits the use of false, deceptive, or misleading representations in debt collection efforts. This includes using deceptive methods to collect a debt or gather consumer information. Moreover, they are forbidden from contacting consumers at inconvenient times or places, or engaging in behavior that harasses or abuses consumers. 

In this case, the company has harassed me by claiming I owe a debt that I do not recognize as my responsibility. They have also contacted me at inconvenient times and places, in violation of the law.

Complaint narrative:
Equifax REFUSES to accept the documents already provided which are legal and binding and have come from the local authority as stated in FCRA guidelines. They have also refused to accept these same documents that the CFPB has sent them on my behalf. My suggestion is to govern yourselves accordingly as it is ILLEGAL NOT to accept the provided evidential paperwork from an approved government entity. They literally sent the CFPB a copy and paste message sent to me in the form of mail, which tells me that this message was automated without human touch. Completely unacceptable! On top of that, I spoke to one of their tier 3 specialist name XXXX XXXX who claimed there was nothing to be done and that she couldn't tell me what documents were incorrect that were sent. That is ALSO ILLEGAL. You MUST PROVIDE victims documentation that what was sent in is incorrect according to your guidelines. She also lied and said that they contacted the local authority and found that the documents were not by law enforcement. She spoke to her supervisor name XXXX XXXX who stated that he couldn't get on the phone and explain what is going on with my case either. I don't even believe these people exist and that I have been given fake names. At any rate, I have filed a report with the FTC as well as the XXXX until I get the justice I deserve. The next step is legal action against the bureau. The other credit bureaus complied willfully because they understand how the FCRA works governing human trafficking victims. Equifax is the only bureau not willing to comply. I request the CFPB enforce the rules and warn them that this is illegal. They also need education on how this special case works. They should have never sent my information to the creditors and treated it as a mere identity theft situation when that's not what this is. I DEMAND the negative reports sent to EQUIFAX be blocked permanently and for them to simply follow the rules!
