Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information being reported on my credit report in Equifax connection with late payments that I believe were reported in error. 

Specifically, the following account contains late payment entries that I request be thoroughly reviewed and corrected : Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/year> Current Balance : {$4800.00} These late payment notations are either inaccurately reported or do not reflect the full context of the situation, which may include payment arrangements, grace periods, or other mitigating circumstances. I am not requesting deletion of the account ; rather, I ask for an investigation and correction of the specific payment history inaccuracies. 

I have already contacted the credit reporting agency and the data furnisher, but the issue remains unresolved. Attached are supporting documents, including screenshots of my credit report and other relevant materials that validate my position. 

I kindly ask that you review this matter promptly and update the accounts payment history to accurately reflect my record.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute fraudulent information I have found on my credit report, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, and to request that such information be blocked or removed immediately. I am attaching a copy of my Identity Theft Report issued by the FTC ( FTC REPORT NUMBER : XXXX ) as evidence of my claim. 
According to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, when a consumer submits an identity theft report, credit reporting agencies are required to block any information identified by the consumer as a result of such theft within four ( 4 ) business days.

The following information on my credit report is the result of identity theft and must be blocked : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  - XXXX Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I respectfully request that this account be immediately blocked from my credit report. This block should remain in effect for a period of one year, after which I may request an extension. During this time, no information may be reported. 
I have contacted EXPERIAN multiple times to report these accounts, but I have not received a clear or definitive resolution to help me resolve this situation. This situation is severely affecting me as I am trying to purchase a new home for my children and obtain financial tools to support my economic growth. Having these negative accounts on my credit report has blocked all my opportunities and is causing me personal and financial harm. 
These accounts have already been removed and were not verified by other credit agencies, so I do not understand why this agency continues to assert that these accounts belong to me. 
I have requested copies of the contracts related to these accounts from the reporting company, and after more than 60 days, I have not received any response. I respectfully request your assistance in removing these accounts immediately.

Complaint narrative:
COMPLAINANT : XXXX XXXX XXXX : XX/XX/year> Phone : ( XXXX ) XXXX Email : XXXX Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX FTC Identity Theft Report No. : XXXX Summary of Complaint : Equifax Information Services LLC is in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) for continuing to report multiple fraudulent, inaccurate, and identity theft-based accounts on my credit report. 

I submitted a valid and complete FTC Identity Theft Report, which lists unauthorized and fraudulent accounts and inquiries. Despite this, Equifax failed to comply with the mandatory procedures under FCRA 605B [ 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ], which require deletion and permanent blocking of identity theft information within four ( 4 ) business days of receipt of proper documentation. 

Equifax has : Failed to block and delete accounts and inquiries resulting from identity theft ; Failed to provide the method of verification for each account still reporting ; Failed to provide the full, detailed description of the investigation conducted; Failed to uphold maximum possible accuracy under FCRA 1681e ( b ) ; Failed to conduct a human review of the dispute as required under FCRA 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) and 1681s-2 ( b ) ; Violated Metro 2 reporting standards and knowingly continues to furnish false and inaccurate data. 



Fraudulent Accounts Still Reporting Include : XXXX XXXX XXXX ( 4 accounts starting with XXXX ) Balances : {$490.00}, {$1400.00}, {$560.00}, {$1100.00} XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX {$420.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX / XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX {$690.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX {$350.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX {$9500.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX {$20000.00} Also includes unauthorized hard inquiries from : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX. 



Violations of Law : FCRA 605B [ 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2 ] Failure to block identity theft-related data ; FCRA 1681e ( b ) Failure to ensure accuracy of data ; FCRA 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) Failure to provide results of reinvestigation ; FCRA 1681s-2 ( b ) Failure to investigate and correct disputed info; Metro 2 Compliance Guidelines Failure to follow credit reporting accuracy protocols.

Relief Demanded from CFPB : 1. Conduct a full investigation into Equifaxs unlawful practices ; 2. Order permanent deletion and blocking of all listed fraudulent accounts and inquiries ; XXXX. Enforce penalties for each legal violation under the FCRA ; 4. Require Equifax to conduct a manual human review of my disputes, not automated systems like e-OSCAR.

Equifaxs failure to comply has caused me financial loss, stress, and serious reputational harm. I demand immediate action and full resolution within the required timeframes under federal law.

Complaint narrative:
I am currently refilling a complaint with EXPERIAN concerning inaccuracies in the information on my accounts. Despite sending a letter requesting an investigation into the mentioned accounts, the process took over XXXX days to complete. EXPERIAN claims to have finished the investigation, but upon reviewing my recent report, I observe no changes. They assert that the information is verified, but discrepancies in the date of last activity, date opened, date of last report, payment history, and status suggest otherwise. This situation seems unjust. I am aware of my rights under XXXX U.S.C XXXX section XXXX A, which guarantees my right to privacy, and XXXX U.S.C XXXX section XXXX A Section XXXX, stipulating that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions.

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Complaint narrative:
These entries remain unverified and questionable. Despite multiple attempts to have these inaccuracies properly investigated and resolved, no meaningful action has been taken.

The mental and emotional toll of dealing with these unresolved discrepancies has been overwhelming. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a fair and accurate credit report, including the removal of unverifiable or incorrect information. I urge you to take immediate steps to verify and rectify these items, as failure to do so constitutes a violation of my rights under federal law.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute an account that is being reported on my credit report, which constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2. Therefore, I respectfully request that this information be blocked or deleted immediately. 

I am enclosing a copy of my Identity Theft Report issued by the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), FTC REPORT NUMBER XXXX XXXXXXXX, as supporting evidence for my claim. 

According to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, once a consumer submits an identity theft report, credit reporting agencies are legally required to block any information identified by the consumer as resulting from such identity theft within XXXX ( XXXX ) business days. 

The following information in my credit file is the result of a clear FCRA violation and must be blocked immediately XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Additionally, 15 U.S.C. 1681b states that a credit reporting agency may not include information in a consumers file unless there is a valid authorization or permissible purpose. I never authorized the opening or reporting of this account, and there is no signed contract or consent from me that justifies its inclusion in my credit report. 

Therefore, the continued presence of this account constitutes not only a result of identity theft but also the unauthorized use and disclosure of my personal information, in direct violation of the FCRAs requirements. 

In accordance with 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 and 1681b, I respectfully request that this account be blocked and deleted immediately from my credit report and that it no longer be reported in any manner. 

I have contacted TransUnion on multiple occasions to report these accounts, but I have yet to receive a clear or definitive resolution to this matter. This situation is causing me serious harm, as I am in the process of purchasing a new home for my children and seeking financial tools to support my economic growth. These negative accounts are blocking my opportunities and causing both personal and financial damage. 

Furthermore, these accounts have already been deleted by other credit bureaus, as they were unable to verify them under the procedures required by law. I do not understand why this agency continues to report this account on my credit file. 

I have also requested copies of any contracts related to these accounts from the company reporting them, and after more than XXXX  days, I have not received a single response. This further supports the fact that there is no verifiable evidence or legal basis for continuing to report this information. 

I respectfully request that you assist me by removing these accounts immediately.
