Complaint narrative:
Why did you place this account back on my credit report knowing it is fraud and not mine? Capital one account number XXXX I am writing to you as a victim of identity theft regarding the recent reappearance of fraudulent accounts on my credit report. Despite the previous removal of these accounts due to fraud, they have been inexplicably reinstated without my consent or notification. Despite having provided evidence of fraud and securing the removal of these accounts previously, I recently discovered that they have been reinstated on my credit report without my authorization. This is not only a violation of my rights as a consumer but also a blatant disregard for the evidence of fraud that was previously acknowledged. I demand the immediate removal of these reinstated fraudulent accounts from my credit report. It is unacceptable that your company has replaced these accounts without my consent or even informing me of this action. This unauthorized reinstatement not only damages my financial reputation but also undermines the efforts made to rectify this situation. I urge you to take immediate action to rectify this matter and ensure that these fraudulent accounts are promptly removed from my credit report. Your cooperation in this matter is essential to restoring my financial integrity and protecting my rights as a consumer.

Complaint narrative:
On Tuesday XXXX XXXX I called Experian to start a dispute regarding the highly inaccurate reporting of utilization rate on my credit card accounts. An Escalation Ticket # XXXX was made. On XXXX XXXX I received an email from Experian explaining how they calculated the inaccurate utilization rate of 395 % .Experian did not address the inaccuracy of their reporting on my consumer report. The explanation they provided was information that I have access to on their website already. They are reporting {$760.00} of {$1100.00} credit limit and a total balance of {$4500.00} with a utilization rate of 395 %! This is obviously wrong because the other credit reporting agency that these same accounts report to ( XXXX ) is reporting the utilization rate correctly. I have attached the screenshots of my XXXX and Experian consumer reports to show the errors that Experian is posting on my consumer report. This egregious error is causing adverse action to my credit worthiness as a consumer. Experian accurately reported the closure of 3 of the 6 credit card accounts at my request. However, Experian is applying the overall utilization rate of 6 cards onto 3 the open card accounts.

Complaint narrative:
Inaccurate late payments like this are preventing me from obtaining credit that I'm trying to apply for because it's lowering my credit score big time. I've already been in talks with some experts who have informed me that there are laws to ensure that inaccurate credit information can't be reported.I have fully investigated my rights and found that the Fair Credit Reporting Act does not allow you to victimize innocent, credit worthy individuals by reporting erroneous and inaccurate information. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the following applies to me : FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 8 ) Ability of Consumer to Dispute Information Directly with Furnisher ( A ) In general. The Federal banking agencies, the National Credit Union Administration, and the Commission shall jointly prescribe regulations that shall identify the circumstances under which a furnisher shall be required to re-investigate a dispute concerning the accuracy of information contained in a consumer report on the consumer, based on a direct request of a consumer.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
While checking my most recent credit report, I noticed credit inquiries that I did not authorize, made by the following companies : Inquiries : XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX Under the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act XXXX specifically 15 USC 1681 section 602 a, it is unequivocally stated that consumer reporting agencies must exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a deep respect for the consumer 's right to privacy. 

As the consumer in question, I am asserting my right to ensure that my private information remains confidential, as reinforced by 15 USC 6801, which declares that financial institutions have a continuous obligation to respect customer privacy.

According to 15 USC 1681 section 604 a section 2, a consumer reporting agency may only furnish a consumer report under specific circumstances, one of which is in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer. It is imperative to note that both the financial institution ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) and the consumer reporting agencies, Equifax and XXXX, XXXX, lack my consent and certainly do not possess my written consent to furnish this information. I hereby revoke any and all forms of consent, whether verbal, non-verbal, written, implied, or otherwise. 

Furthermore, as per 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ), a financial institution is prohibited from disclosing nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party without providing the consumer with an explanation of how they can exercise the nondisclosure option. The ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) failed to inform me of my right to exercise this option, thereby violating the law. 
The reporting of adverse information without my permission is also a breach of 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ), which explicitly prohibits consumer reporting agencies from including adverse items of information that antedate the report by more than seven years. Equifax and XXXX are in violation of this provision. 
Moreover, 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A asserts that no person shall furnish information to a consumer reporting agency if they know or have reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. Equifax XXXX and XXXX are falling short of maintaining reasonable procedures, as mandated by 15 U.S. Code 1681e, which requires consumer reporting agencies to have procedures designed to avoid violations and limit the furnishing of consumer reports to specific purposes.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX and Equifax have been willfully noncompliant to my consumer rights by continuing to reinsert deleted accounts to my consumer report that are inaccurate and without any given notice of reinsertion. These charge off accounts and inquiries are not mine. I have already submitted FTC documents and this has already been resolved in the past. I truly believe XXXX and Equifax are tampering with my private information and consumer report at their leisure and without reasonable procedures. I am demanding fair and equitable treatment of my report once and for all. This is truly causing me so much anguish. I have been seeking knowledge into my rights and even considering legal action. 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( b ) states inaccurate information must not be reinserted. It also indicates a notice of any accurate accounts reinserted must be sent to me the consumer. XXXXXXXX XXXX and Equifax 's treatment of my report have been nothing less than negligent willful noncompliance. 15 U.S. Code 1681o. I have been suffering damages as a business professional due to random reinsertions and inaccurate reporting. Please stop this behavior.
