Complaint narrative:
Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX, Equifax, XXXX for their refusal to update my personal information on my credit report. On XX/XX/year>, I submitted a personal information update letter to XXXX, Equifax, XXXX, requesting the correction of my address and other personal details. This letter was accompanied by the necessary documentation, including a copy of my driver 's license, Social Security card, and a utility bill to verify my address. The document was also notarized. 
However, on XX/XX/year>, I received a response from XXXX, Equifax, XXXX stating that my request could not be processed because I did not provide a government ID. This statement is incorrect and misleading, as I had included all required documents, including a government-issued ID, in my initial submission. 
Attached to this complaint, you will find a copy of my original personal information update letter and all supporting documents that were submitted to XXXX, Equifax, XXXX. 
I believe that XXXX, Equifax, XXXX 's refusal to update my information is a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically under sections 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( Procedure in case of disputed accuracy ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ( Compliance procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy ). 
XXXX, Equifax, XXXX 's failure to acknowledge and properly review the provided documentation is a direct violation of my rights under the FCRA. According to the FCRA, consumers have the right to dispute inaccurate information on their credit reports and must be provided with a fair and reasonable investigation of their dispute. By ignoring the documentation I provided, XXXX has failed to uphold their obligation to conduct a fair investigation, thereby violating my consumer rights.

Complaint narrative:
There is information in my file, stated below, that I have identified as information that resulted from identity theft. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, pursuant to XXXX XXXX police report, case number XXXX, I was a victim of identity theft when my wallet, drivers license, social security card and credit cards were stolen and these items were used over 20 times by different parties to commit fraud. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I was a victim of identity theft when a female impersonating me shoplifted items from a XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, Maryland. I received a summons to appear in court to answer charges of grand larceny. Upon investigation, I learned that that my information was made available in an identity theft ring that spanned across the united states and that there were multiple copies of my drivers license and actual social security card that was made available to multiple identity thieves across the U.S. I was able to get the criminal case number XXXX filed by the XXXX XXXX XXXX Police Department expunged due to the theft of my identity. 

On or about XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX announced that an unauthorized party stole data associated with certain user accounts in XX/XX/XXXX. It was then that I learned that my personal information was made available to third-parties and actually being sold on the internet. The number of times criminals used my personal information to commit identity fraud and open fraudulent credit accounts and apply for loans and other benefits is too many to count. Even though I have taken all of the security precautions after having my identity stolen multiple times, thieves continue to use or sell my data, which affects me to this day.
