Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I've observed numerous deviations from mandatory reporting standards, leading me to question the accuracy and completeness of the data in my credit report. Consequently, I refute the allegations against me and challenge you to substantiate your authority to include this incomplete negative information on my credit report.

Pursuant to 15 U.S.C 1681e, consumer reporting agencies are obligated to employ reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of information in consumer reports. Additionally, as outlined in 12 CFR Part 1022 ( Regulation V ), furnishers are required to provide information that is both integral and accurate, conduct reasonable investigations of consumer disputes, and adhere to Metro 2 compliance standards, according to the XXXX. 

Deviation from these standards, as emphasized in the XXXX, jeopardizes the integrity of the data, thereby compromising the accuracy of federally regulated reports. Consequently, I am exercising my rights to challenge these inaccuracies and non-compliant items. Disregarding my demand would signify a lack of concern for my consumer rights. 

It is unjust for you to report information that hasn't been verified for ethical standards and certified reporting compliance. I reiterate my challenge to these claims and request evidence of adherence to proper reporting standards. 

Your actions infringe upon my rights, and I've outlined these concerns in this document. The incomplete and non-compliant nature of your reporting fails to meet my standards in accordance with the law. I insist that you certify all aspects of required FCRA/Metro 2 compliance truthfully, correctly, and in a timely manner. Failure to do so may compel me to escalate these matters to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and my Attorney General.

) Identity and purposes of credit users Every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681c of this title and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section 1681b of this title. These procedures shall require that prospective users of the information identify themselves, certify the purposes for which the information is sought, and certify that the information will be used for no other purpose. Every consumer reporting agency shall make a reasonable effort to verify the identity of a new prospective user and the uses certified by such prospective user prior to furnishing such user a consumer report. No consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report to any person if it has reasonable grounds for believing that the consumer report will not be used for a purpose listed in section 1681b of this title. 

( b ) Accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. 

( c ) Disclosure of consumer reports by users allowed A consumer reporting agency may not prohibit a user of a consumer report furnished by the agency on a consumer from disclosing the contents of the report to the consumer, if adverse action against the consumer has been taken by the user based in whole or in part on the report.

Complaint narrative:
This is so annoying & frustrating. Ive sent EQUIFAX multiple letters that Im the one whos disputing the items that are UNKNOWN to me. In Equifaxs responses that make the claim that have not initiated any disputes on my behalf due to the fraudulent or high risk nature, and the documents I provided have either been confirmed as fraudulent or deemed as high risk due to the potential for fraud. This is a complete joke. How in the world did they verify these claims? First of all, I know that under FCRA Section 619 Obtaining information under false pretenses that any person who knowingly and willfully obtains information on a consumer from a consumer reporting agency under false pretenses shall be fined under title 18 United States Code, imprisoned for not more than 2 years, or both. Most importantly, I never sent my documentation to anyone else as it deemed as high risk due to the potential for fraud. Also, according to FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 3 ) Determination That Dispute Is Frivolous or Irrelevant ( A ) a consumer reporting agency may terminate a reinvestigation of information disputed by a consumer under that paragraph if the agency reasonably determines that the dispute by the consumer is frivolous or irrelevant, including by reason of a failure by a consumer to provide sufficient information to investigate the disputed information. ( B ) Notice of determination. Upon making any determination in accordance with subparagraph ( A ) that a dispute is frivolous or irrelevant, a consumer reporting agency shall notify the consumer of such determination not later than 5 business days after making such determination, by mail or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by any other means available to the agency. Again, under FCRA 617 Civil liability for negligent noncompliance [ 15 U.S.C. 1681o ] Any person who is negligent in failing to comply with any requirement imposed under this title with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( 1 ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure; and ( 2 ) in the case of any successful action to enforce any liability under this section, the costs of the action together with reasonable attorneys fees as determined by the court. I need your help! As a consumer, I need to correct my credit file for my credit worthiness, credit standing, or credit capacity to obtain my rights and My Financial Freedom that has been DAMAGE.

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the repeated attempts to rectify the late opening of my account with your institution. I opened an account with your branch, and unfortunately, I have encountered several issues that have not been adequately addressed.

I believe that transparency and effective communication are essential in maintaining a positive customer relationship. 

If this matter is not addressed within the exact timeframe from the date of this letter, I will be left with no choice but to escalate my complaint to the appropriate regulatory authorities.
