I was sent a card in the mail and discarded it because it had my maiden name, for my last name. Later I received a bill in the mail stating I had a pastdue balance.

I later received a letter in the mail saying that I owed over {$1000.00} in purchases. I called again and asked them to close the account again, and explained to them again that I haven't gone by the last name XXXX, since 2007, and why would I XXXX myself by opening up an account in my Maiden name and destroy my credit, that I work so hard to build. Again It wasn't me! Now every time, I ask to be connected to their Fraud Department, I get disconnected, and no return call. I am now going to freeze my credit with all 3 Credit Bureaus and wait for an outcome.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. ''
