Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am filing a formal complaint against Equifax for their failure to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) in updating my credit report. Despite my repeated requests, they continue to report an outdated and incorrect address, causing significant harm to my ability to make major financial decisions. 

I have contacted Equifax on XXXX separate occasions, requesting the removal of the incorrect address XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, GA XXXX from my credit report. This address is no longer valid and should be entirely removed. I have also provided them with my correct and current address, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX  XXXX, which should be the only address listed on my report. 

Their continued failure to correct this information violates the following provisions of the FCRA : 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 1 ) - The requirement that consumer reporting agencies maintain accurate and up-to-date information on credit reports.

15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - The obligation to investigate disputed information within 30 days and correct or delete inaccurate or incomplete information.

15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) - The duty of credit bureaus to follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information reported.

The inaccurate address on my credit report has led to significant challenges, including hindering my ability to move forward with major purchases. This inaccuracy is creating unnecessary barriers to my financial stability, and the credit bureau 's lack of action is both frustrating and harmful. 

I request the CFPBs assistance in enforcing the FCRA and ensuring that my credit report is corrected promptly. I trust that with your intervention, this matter can be resolved swiftly and accurately. 

Thank you for your attention to this serious matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
