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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
CFPB XXXX XXXX Equifax for XXXX Identity Theft Reporting I am filing this formal complaint against Equifax for continuing to report a XXXX XXXX XXXX account on my credit report that resulted from identity theft. This account has been reported as past due since XX/XX/year>, damaging my credit, causing me to be denied housing, bank accounts, and loans. Despite submitting an FTC Identity Theft Report and disputes, Equifax continues to report this fraudulent tradeline in violation of federal law. 
Background The XXXX account in question is fraudulent, opened without my consent or authorization. I have already submitted an identity theft report to the FTC and to Equifax, along with a police report and dispute letters. XXXX has failed to provide me with an unmarred, original application with a wet ink signature proving this debt belongs to me, and Equifax has failed to remove this tradeline under its obligations pursuant to federal law. 
Legal Violations FCRA 605B ( 15 USC 1681c-2 ) : Requires Equifax to block reporting of information resulting from identity theft within 4 business days upon receiving identity theft documentation.

FCRA 611 ( 15 USC 1681i ) : Requires Equifax to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation and remove unverifiable or fraudulent information.

FCRA 607 ( b ) ( 15 USC 1681e ( b ) ) : Requires Equifax to report accurate information and remove unverified or inaccurate information promptly.

FTC and CFPB guidelines : Mandate the prompt removal of identity theft-related fraudulent tradelines upon proper notification.

Harms Suffered Equifax 's failure to remove this XXXX  tradeline has resulted in severe harm to me, including denial of housing, bank accounts, and business loans, damage to my credit reputation, emotional distress, and financial hardship due to this fraudulent reporting.
