Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Public record information inaccurate

Consumer Complaint: I have now sent disputes to Equifax, XXXX and XXXX to remove the bankruptcy off of my credit as the court does not report to the bureaus and that is fraudulent and the only agency that removed it was XXXX. I have a printed paper from the court that explicitly says they do not report to the Credit reporting agencies which means that they are committing fraud and possible identity theft. I also sent disputes about other discrepancies on my reports which some of have been changed which proves that there was not accurate reporting being done at all. Per the FCRA they are to report accurate and fair and this has not been done. I want to be paid {$1000.00} per violation of inaccurate reporting per the law.

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/scrub>XX/XX/2024 I notified this agency that I was a victim of identity theft via certified mail and as of today XX/XX/2024 this agency continues to report information that resulted from the identity theft. Section 605B, Block of Information Resulting From Identity Theft, requires consumer reporting agencies to notify furnishers of information, including financial institutions, that information may be the result of identity theft, and that an identity theft report has been filed. I provided them with FTC report number XXXX and XXXX, as well as a block that had been requested. Upon receiving such notice, Section 623 ( a ) ( 6 ) requires furnishers to block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of 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. All four requirements were met by me and will be attached to this complaint. At this time the agency has failed a requirement of the FCRA 15 U.S. Code 1681c2 to block the reporting of the information in my file that I identified as information that resulted from the identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt by such agency which is a violation of law and is civilly liable to me for willful noncompliance actual damages sustained by me as a result of this failure under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. Resolution : For the agency to comply with the requirements of the FCRA 15 U.S. Code 1681c2 and block the reporting of the information in my file that I identified as information that resulted from the identity theft. Due to the failures to block the information no later than four days after receipt the agency is civilly liable to me for willful noncompliance actual damages sustained by me as a result of this failure under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. Failure to respond satisfactorily within 30 days of receipt of this certified letter may result in a small claims action against your company, seeking {$5000.00} per violation for : 1. ) Defamation 2. ) Negligent Enablement of Identity Fraud 3. ) Violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act 4. ) Financial Injury 5. ) PENALTY OF PERJURY 6. ) Violations of 15 U.S.C 1692g 7. ) 15 U.S.C 1692a abusive practices 8. ) 15 U.S. Code 1681b - Permissible purposes of consumer reports 9. ) 15 U.S. code 1681 4A B2 Misleading False Reporting My contact information is as follows : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Michigan XXXX SSN : SS # : XXXX P.S.
