Subject : Partial FCRA 605B Compliance Equifax Failed to Remove Fraudulent Inquiries After Identity Theft Dispute To the CFPB, This is a formal follow-up to my identity theft complaint originally submitted on XX/XX/XXXX, against Equifax. Although I acknowledge that Equifax has removed the fraudulent addresses from my credit report, it has failed to block the unauthorized hard inquiries, which were explicitly included in my 605B dispute package.

The following inquiries remain on my Equifax file despite being part of an identity theft case : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX These inquiries were never authorized by me, and I did not apply for credit with these companies. Their continued presence on my report is a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically : Violations : 605B ( a ) : Equifax failed to block fraudulent inquiries after receiving a valid identity theft report.

605B ( b ) : No written notice explaining the refusal to block was provided within 4 business days.

605B ( c ) ( 3 ) : Equifax may not contact furnishers or initiate reinvestigation once a proper ID theft report is submitted.

607 ( a ) : Equifax is willfully reporting inaccurate information despite being notified.

Company: MOHELA

Complaint narrative:
I currently have a balance of about XXXX in student debt. I graduated back in the XXXX  of XXXX and have been unemployed since. I have not been able to get a job nor have I heard back from any job Ive applied to. Its been really difficult to find any sort of income. In XXXX, I dealt with a traumatic experience at work which still has me attending XXXX XXXX  every week to this day. I was hospitalized due to the event and had to withdraw from my courses at XXXX  ( I was also a student at the time ), and it set me back in my educational path. Once I was XXXX and got the okay to return to college, I had to try to catch up with my courses to stay on track. Unfortunately, I had accumulated a debt because I didnt finish my courses and now I had to cover some of my debt in order to continue my education. I had no money ( I lost my job due to the event causing my mental health to be a big factor ), no job, no source of income ( my family is lower class and does not make over XXXX a year ), etc. I had no choice to but to sign up for a loan I wasnt able even sure would amount to. I just knew I needed to get money so I can continue my education. I dont know what I was really signing up for ( I have no experience with loans and no knowledge ). I was mentally in such a bad place and couldnt have been in the right mindset when making the decisions I made. I just know I needed money and needed it quick. Fast forward to now, I did call my loan provider ( MOHELA ) to ask for some sort of forgiveness but they claimed I knew what I signed up for and didnt offer any kind of plan for me to help with my loan. Im still struggling now and Im running out of options with how loans and educational support are being navigated, especially with our current system. Any additional information that is needed, I can do my best to/will provide.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
After receiving an email from Equifax notifying me that my personal information has been in a data breach. I discovered negative and unauthorized information on my credit report and I immediately contacted Experian, Equifax and TransUnion to dispute the items in question. I provided the necessary documentation to support my claim, explaining that these debts were not incurred by me and were a result of fraudulent activity linked to the Equifax data breach. Despite my efforts, Experian, Transunion and Equifax denied my case, asserting that the information has been " verified '' and leaving the fraudulent entries on my credit report. This denial has caused me significant distress, which has negatively affected my financial stability and mental well-being, as these negative marks are damaging my credit and financial standing. Specifically, I faced multiple instances of being denied services, including credit applications and other essential opportunities. I believe that Experian, Transunion and Equifax has not fully investigated the potential fraudulent activity tied to the Equitax data breach and I am seeking further assistance to correct the errors on my report. I remain committed to resolving this matter and protecting my financial well-being.

Complaint narrative:
Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681g ( a ) ( 1 ) and 1681i, I request that you provide a complete copy of the original signed consumer contract with a wet ink signaturea Verifiable, Validated Proofthat you claim to possess for the above-referenced account. Copies of copies are insufficient by law.

Under FCRA 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are legally obligated to verify any account before reporting it on my credit file. If you are unable to provide such proof within 30 calendar days of receipt of this letter, you must immediately delete the account from all credit reports.

FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) requires furnishers to promptly remove unverifiable information. Under 617 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681o ), negligent noncompliance exposes entities to actual damages, attorneys fees, and costs ; willful noncompliance under 1681n exposes entities to statutory/punitive damages ( {>= $1,000,000} + punitive ).

Case law strongly supports my position : - Negligent/willful failures to remove unverifiable or inaccurate information have resulted in multimillion dollar awards ( e.g., XXXX XXXX Equifax $ XXXX ; XXXX XXXX TransUnion XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
- CFPB enforcement actions support similar resultsmost recently, a XXXX  XXXX settlement following procedural failures.
