Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against Equifax for reporting fraudulent accounts and inquiries on my credit report. Despite my previous attempts to resolve this matter directly with Equifax, they have failed to correct the inaccuracies. Specifically, my credit report contains several accounts and inquiries that I did not authorize. These fraudulent items are severely impacting my credit score and overall financial standing. I have provided Equifax with the necessary documentation, including an identity theft report, yet they have not removed the fraudulent entries. I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau intervene to ensure that Equifax promptly investigates and removes these fraudulent accounts and inquiries from my credit report. Thank you for your assistance in resolving this matter.

Complaint narrative:
Equifax removed this 30 day late error on my credit report for quicken loans. I asked for proof/paperwork for this XX/XX/XXXX day late which I have never received. Equifax went back and put the XXXX date late error back on my credit report after specifically stating they did not find a 30 day late. This is illegally to remove an error then without my consent add it back to my credit report. There is a paper trial showing this with consumer finance. This is incorrect use of my credit report. If this is not removed IMMEDIATELY I will be forced to take legal action.

Complaint narrative:
After receiving a copy of my consumer report I've noticed that there is inaccurate information and accounts thats being reported. I then reached out to the creditor reporting this account and asked them to provide me any signed contracts, agreements, or receipts that verify the alleged debt. I also asked them to cease all communications with me which by definition, reporting this account to my consumer report its a form of communication in which they must remove. How can there be an alleged debt if there isn't any contracts or agreements between me and the creditor listed in my dispute letter. I never gave them the consent to obtain nor share my personal information which is a violation of my right to privacy. Violations committed by the creditor reporting this account : 15 U.S. Code 1692g - Validation of debts, 15 U.S. Code 1692c - Communication in connection with debt collection, 15 U.S. Code 1692e - False or misleading representations.
