Complaint narrative:
Dear Equifax To Whom It May Concern : I was in the process of applying for new employment and housing and it was brought to my attention that there is some inaccurate information reporting on my credit report.I received a copy of my credit report and to my surprise I saw all these inaccurate items that are not correct. By the way I hope that this does not hinder my ability to obtain employment due to this inaccurate information showing. I was advised by a legal friend of mine that under 15 US Code 1681a section 603 ( k ) ( b ) ( ii ) can be considered an adverse action. 
Therefore I want the following accounts to be updated to the correct amount, date, status, open and closed date, last date of activity and time. 
If you can not complete this request, please delete the accounts immediately. I have provided an exhibit of evidence showing the inaccuracies of my reports. Please investigate if every piece of information is correct. If not, please remove it from my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint, My name is XXXX XXXX, regarding several inaccurate and derogatory accounts that have been reported on his TransUnion credit report.

Complaint narrative:
We have had a trade account for nearly XXXX decades. Morgan Stanley recently acquired XXXX. 

We have high net worth, and have millions in savings and checking. We recently decided to transfer funds to XXXX due to better rates. 

Approximately XXXX weeks ago, approximately XXXX XXXX was transferred to etrade checking. They put a freeze on the account. Despite responding to the freeze with a follow-up call ( in which they indicated funds would be released ), we are still unable to access funds. 

I believe this is not a security issue, but a predatory business practice. 

We ask our funds be released, so we can transfer to another bank- and we receive a credit for the interest due on over a XXXX dollars recently deposited in checking ( at the rate provided by XXXX XXXX not the higher rate provided by XXXX XXXX. 

This is unethical. Predatory- and worth thousands of dollars.

Complaint narrative:
" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information. 

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation.

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent.

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.
