Consumer complaint received 2021-01-20 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
EQUIFAX : Lists FIFTY-FOUR INQUIRIES on my credit report!!! 
They should ONLY have Twelve!!! 
On XX/XX/XXXX EQUIFAX RECEIVED a CERTIFIED letter from me, stating that I DID NOT KNOW of these other credit inquiries, they did NOT have my PERMISSION nor any CONTRACTIONAL AGRREMENT with ME : authorizing these inquiries and that they should be REMOVED immediately. 

XXXX was much more dismissive in their reply. They have TWENTY-NINE inquiries ; they SHOULD only have about nine!!! 

On XX/XX/XXXX Received a CERTIFIED letter from me also, stating that I did NOT know about all these other inquiries and that they did NOT have permission from me, nor a CONTRACTIONAL AGREEMENT WITH 'ME ' ( Yes, that's WITH ME ... In the flesh ; NOT in the SPIRIT!!! ) AND that these twenty-nine inquiries should be removed also. 

Here 's the general synopsis of what had happened : They've ( BOTH ) had only acknowledged receiving the certified letter ( s ) requesting the removal, but that I should " ... take it up with the merchant ( s ) directly!!! ... '' I also don't appreciate the way that they'll serruptiously " use '' the govorment law as an excuse to NOT abide by it!!!??? ... 

Later : I was erroneously quoted a title reference from the FCRA stating " ... Permissible use ... '' ACTUALLY : according to that self-same FCRA ( Fair Credit Reporting Act ) the BURDEN of proof rests between the CREDIT BUREAU ( Equifax & XXXX ) and the MERCHANT requesting the the credit. This has NOTHING to do with a MEDICAL FASCILITY or an EMPLOYMENT scenario. 

See : Wegner vs. Transunion Corp. No. 95-6445 ( C.D.Cal XX/XX/XXXX, you MAY be liable for willful NON-COMPLIANCE. 

I want EquiFax & XXXX to follow the list of that I've submitted to them an VERIFY that these items do not belong on my credit report. So of these items are listed three and four times on the same day!!! 

As far as their avoidance behavior goes ... Or as they loosely swim around the imaginary loophole of shirking responsibility ... I too have an example : If 'I ' asked EquiFax and XXXX to SPECIFICALLY get all the materials to gether make me a salami sandwich for this afternoon 's church picnic. I WOULDN'T EXPECT that the XXXX in the proverbial alley who'd over-heard me talking to you, to grab HIS stuff together, in order to make me salami sandwich ALSO!!! ... You're PLAYING with this term gentlemen, in order to avoid due dillegence and I DON'T appreciate it. 

Here 's a list of what should be removed : XXXX, XXXX ( all variations of them ), XXXX ( all variations of them ) XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( YOU'VE already gotten in trouble with the once ... Remember??? ) XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( all variations ) XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, Again : WITH THE EXCEPTION of what is ALREADY POSTING ON MY CREDIT REPORTS from XXXX : Washington State ; PLEASE remove all OTHER variations of the above listed " XXXX XXXX '' XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX must STAY on my reports, as an chive & current and viable trade line. 

Please don't obligate me to take this matter any further than it has to be ; let 's alleviate this matter here. 

A/K/A : XXXX XXXX ( You already know who I am ).
