Complaint narrative:
Equifax Customer Data Breach ( Case XXXX ) Equifax has Conducted XXXX  XXXX on My Equifax Credit file, rather than Properly Reviewing the Alleged Frivolous Disputes, I begged them to do, as required by Federal Law.

I have been impacted by Equifax Data Breach, ( ID Theft XXXX ), my SSN being used as a personal gain. I have reported the criminal activity to the appropriate authorities. My file keeps showing over time FCRA violations : Late Payments : 15 USC 1681 a ( 2Xi ), 15 USC 1681 ; Permissible Purpose : 15 USC 1681b ; Reinsertion Deleted Items : 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ) ( b ) Responsibilities of Furnishers : 15 USC 1681 ( s ) -2 ; Accuracy : 15 USC 1681e ( b ) & 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ) ( a ) ; Verification : 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ) The account is : XXXX XXXX $ XXXX XXXX. XXXX, XXXX  I have attached to as well : Equifax Data Breach Impact Notice ; NC government-issued ID ; FTC Report ; Self-Attestation Form ; Demand Affidavit.

Equifax has routinely and uncritically accepted the original furnishers response to the above disputed information, even when responses were impr
obable or illogical on its face. I had no relationship with this entity, nor did I authorize the account. The entry is the result of unauthorized activity tied to identity theft. As a consumer reporting agency, you are required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. ) to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the information contained in consumer credit reports. Equifax has violated the FCRAs requirements for handling my disputes in several ways, each time I have submitted disputes. Equifax has harmed, bullied, and harassed me by violating the : Investigation of Disputed Information ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) ; Duty to Delete or Correct Inaccurate Information ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ) : If the disputed information can not be verified or is found to be inaccurate, you must promptly delete or correct it.

Prohibition on Reinsertions ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( C ) ) : Information that has been previously deleted as a result of a dispute can not be reinserted into the consumers report unless certain stringent requirements are met. Equifax has failed to implement basic matching tools that prevent or greatly reduce the likelihood of reinsertion by a new furnisher of a previously deleted tradeline ; Notification of Results ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ) : Upon completion of the investigation, you are required to provide me with a detailed written explanation of your findings and a copy of my updated credit report. 
Based on the CFPBs recent lawsuit against XXXX for sham investigations of consumer disputes and improper reinsertion of deleted information, I am concerned that you may fail to meet your obligations under federal law. Inaccurate information has already negatively impacted my ability to obtain credit. I demand Equifax to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the disputed accounts and inquiries, provide me with verifiable documentation, such as signed contracts, substantiating the legitimacy of the disputed entries, and permanently delete any unverifiable, inaccurate, or fraudulent information from my credit report. I AM BEING PSYCHOLOGICALLY HARASSED.

Company response to consumer: Closed with non-monetary relief
