Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo XXXX regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes XXXX law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as Equifax 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Complaint narrative:
I'm filing this complaint to the credit bureau in order to notify them AGAIN that I was a victim of identity theft. I want to challenge any improper items that are appearing on my credit record, but it looks like the credit bureau could care less. I require the materials to be taken out of my file as soon as possible because this is a flagrant breach of FCRA laws.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Dear XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, I am writing in response to your recent correspondence regarding my dispute of the accounts ending in XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. As I previously stated, these accounts were opened without my permission and have caused significant harm to my credit score and ability to obtain credit, in violation of Section 1681s-2 ( a ) of the FCRA and the CFPB 's Bulletin 2013-1. 

Your response did not fully address my concerns and I am disappointed to see that you believe that the account ending in XXXX belongs to me. I maintain that this account was opened without my permission and I demand that it be removed from my credit report immediately. Your confirmation that you are reporting accurate information is simply not sufficient. In accordance with the FCRA and CFPB guidelines, I am requesting that you provide me with a written statement of the results of your investigation and a copy of my corrected credit report within 30 days of receipt of this letter. 

I am also demanding that you remove all other accounts that were opened without my permission from my credit report immediately. I understand that you have asked the CRAs to delete some of these accounts, but I want to make it clear that I am demanding their removal as well. 

I want to remind you that reporting of inaccurate information is in violation of [ 15 US C 1681 section 604 A Section 2 ] [ 15 USC 1681 Section 602 ] [ 15 US code 5 1681b ] and other CFPB regulations. Your failure to comply with these regulations could result in legal action against your company. 

I expect a prompt response to this letter and for all accounts that were opened without my permission to be removed from my credit report immediately. Please provide me with a written confirmation of your actions and a copy of my corrected credit report. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX CFPB Codes : Bulletin 2013-1 Section 1036 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act Section 1681s-2 ( a ) of the FCRA Section 1681c of the FCRA Section 1681g of the FCRA Section 1681i of the FCRA
