Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
This letter is to inform Equifax that they are breaking the law by reporting this bankruptcy on my credit report. 1. I never gave you or any other agency permission to put this bankruptcy on my credit report. You need a " permissible purpose '' or my written permission to report items to my credit report. 2. you have infringed on my right to privacy by reporting this illegal and inaccurate information. I recently wrote the U.S Bankruptcy courts and they informed me that they do not report to anyone. I went ahead and contacted XXXX. They said they do not report to anyone also. I then contacted XXXX XXXX and they too let me know that they do not validate anything from the courts. The 3rd thing that is wrong with this Bankruptcy being reported to my consumer reports is that you aren't even reporting the balance that is owed. Under the law, I have the right to fair and accurate credit reporting. So please help me understand how you are reporting this Bankruptcy on my credit reports when no one can validate it. If you can not provide me the information on who validated this account. 1. Name of the person you contacted, business address, and telephone numbers so that I may follow up. 2. How did you contact the furnisher and verify my information? 3. What paperwork you used to verify my information? I would also like to know if the person you contacted gave my name, social security number and birthdate, and address. Since this information was obtained illegally and since it infringes on my right to privacy I want this Bankruptcy removed from my credit report immediately and provide me with an updated credit report. I appreciate you investigating this matter and giving it the attention it needs. Thanks in advance.
