Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

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. I have submitted XXXX complaints informing Equifax that I was a victim of identity theft. Equifax is failing to block or remove the account from my report. I followed their guidelines. I filed a report on the XXXX website, I specified how the identity theft took place, that I did not benefit or receive goods or services from the alleged account, 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 XXXX  website & provide a photo ID for their records. Equifax has claimed the accounts 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 XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX {$5900.00}

If a furnisher learns that it has furnished inaccurate information due to identity theft, it must notify each consumer reporting agency of the correct information and must thereafter report only complete and accurate information.

When any furnisher of information is notified pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 605B that a debt has resulted from identity theft, the furnisher may not sell, transfer, or place for collection the debt except in certain limited circumstances. Section 615 ( f ).
