Issue: Written notification about debt

Subissue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Consumer Complaint: I am writing to express my deep concern and frustration regarding the continued presence of a fraudulent account on my credit report, despite my repeated attempts to dispute and the successful deletion of this information by other credit reporting agencies. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXPLEASE DELETE!!! XXXX have already removed this account from their records. I want to emphasize that I am a victim of identity theft, and I have taken immediate action to report and rectify the situation. I have successfully communicated with XXXX and provided them with evidence supporting the fraudulent nature of the account. They have promptly taken the necessary steps to delete this information from my credit report in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It is disheartening that Equifax has not followed suit and continues to report the fraudulent account without providing any valid verification or resolution.
