Consumer Complaint: To Whom It May Concern : I recently received a copy of my ( equifax ) credit report, and I noticed a XXXX days past due worst delinquency status on my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account ending in XXXX. EQUIFAX- Your company is in clear violation of the law. Under 15 USC 1681b - permissible purpose of consumer reports, THE LAW CLEARLY STATES : ( a ) IN GENERAL Subject to subsection ( c ) any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. Did I give you written instructions to furnish this on my credit report? Furthermore, the FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT 15 USC 1681 ( 2 ) ( a ) ( i ) Exclusions from a consumer credit report clearly states : ( 2 ) EXCLUSIONS. Except as provided in paragraph ( 3 ), the term consumer report does not include ( A ) Subject to section 1681s-3 of this title, any ( i ) report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) states that 'A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unlessthe consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. ' ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) Equifax NEVER informed me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option. Not only that, 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) states : 'Except as authorized under subsection ( b ), no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information : Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedate the report by more than seven years. ' This account is an adverse item they are reporting again without my permission, which is against the law. 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A states : 'A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 15 U.S. Code 1681e states : 'Every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681c of this title and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section 1681b of this title. ' Equifax is not maintaining reasonable procedures. Also, 12 CFR 1016.7 states that 'A consumer may exercise the right to opt-out at any time. ' I am opting out of your reporting XXXX days past due " worst delinquency late payment on account ending in XXXX per 15 USC 6802 & 16 CFR 313.7. Delete the above XXXX days past due worst delinquency status for account ending in XXXX from my consumer report, this agency is in violation of 15 USC 1681. Failure to respond satisfactorily with deletion of the above referenced account, and send out a free copy of my report after the changes have been made will result in legal actions being taken against your company, for which I will also be seeking { {$1000.00} } per violation for : 1. Defamation of Character ( per se ) 2. Negligent Enablement of Identity Fraud 3. Fair Debt Collections Practices Act 15 USC 1692g violations. 4. Fair Credit Reporting Act 15USC 1681 violations for willful noncompliance - 616. Civil liability for willful noncompliance [ 15 U.S.C. 1681n ]

Consumer Complaint: This is one of my multiple attempts to notify credit bureaus that I am a victim of identity theft and that I want to query certain records in my documents that resulted from the crime. The documents I'm looking at have nothing to do with any transactions involving goods, services, or money that I've made or approved. Assuming no one cares, remove any material in my credit report that was obtained through alleged fraud or extortion.

Consumer Complaint: Im filing a complaint against Equifax. I am a VICTIM of identity theft, and I have followed the proper channels by submitting detailed information, including police reports and evidence of the identity theft, yet Equifax has failed to conduct a proper and timely investigation. Up to now I STILL HAVENT RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION OR RESOLUTION REGARDING MY DISPUTES! And I am disputing these accounts to be removed as these are fraud accounts. I insist that I have no idea how the theft took place. I also do not know any suspects. I did not receive any money, goods, or services as a result of identity theft. I insist that you cease the practice of routinely refusing my requests without proper validation. I need these fraudulent accounts removed from my credit report promptly.
