Consumer complaint received 2024-12-07 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

RE : XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX It is crucial that consumer reporting agencies uphold their grave responsibilities when it comes to the handling of consumers personal credit files. After performing a re-investigation upon my credit file for accounts { LIST ACCOUNTS HERE } pursuant to 15 USC 1681ia1a, your company failed to follow proper procedures in regard to correspondence to me the consumer, in the handling of the reinvestigation. As clearly outlined within, 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ) ; 15 U.S. Code 1681i - Procedure in case of disputed accuracy Subchapter 7 states the following ; ( 7 ) Description of reinvestigation procedure A consumer reporting agency shall provide to a consumer a detailed description referred to in paragraph ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) by not later than 15 days after receiving a request from the consumer for that description. Further outlined within 15 USC ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) ; ( 6 ) Notice of results of reinvestigation ( A ) In general A consumer reporting agency shall provide written notice to a consumer of the results of a reinvestigation under this subsection not later than 5 business days after the completion of the reinvestigation, by mail or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by other means available to the agency. ( iii ) a notice that, if requested by the consumer, a description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information shall be provided to the consumer by the agency, including the business name and address of any furnisher of information contacted in connection with such information and the telephone number of such furnisher, if reasonably available. The correspondence mentioned above was NEVER made to me and therefore, your company is in direct violation of the FCRA and is now liable for monetary damages detailed within 15 USC 1681n and 15 USC 1681o. Not only was a proper reinvestigation not performed as the derogatory account mentioned is erroneous to begin with, your agency failed to follow the FCRAs clear rules in the handling of correspondence to me in association with the account in question. Please delete this erroneous account as I have sought legal counsel in this matter and intend on seeking damages associated with this complaint if this issue is not resolved.

I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. 

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.
