Complaint narrative:
Equifax is failing to comply with FCRA Sections 605B and is also in breach of Sections 616 & 617 for willfully non complying and neglecting to adhere to the rules and laws of the FCRA. Equifax is failing to block or remove the account from my report. I followed their guidelines. I filed a report on the FTC website, I specified how the identity theft took place, that I did not benefit or receive goods or services from the alleged accounts, I validated the identity theft with a federal law enforcement agency ( which they're claiming I haven't ), I submitted the identity theft reports, provided a report circle the fraudulent account, an affidavit from the FTC website & provide a photo ID for their records. Equifax has claimed the account listed below have been verified and are accurate. I'm truly confused by their antics/tactics on how to report this issue but they are ignoring this dispute and failing to comply with the rules set forth in the FCRA. I need them to be held accountable & have this account blocked/removed : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Date opened XX/XX/2019 Balance : {$110.00}.
