Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Consumer Complaint: I am in the process of purchasing a new vehicle. Looking at my most recent credit reports, there are about 10 inquiries showing on my report. I have come to find out that my personal information was sold and bought illegally because I was a victim of the Equifax data breach. I want the inquiries listed below deleted from my credit reports effective immediately. I am attaching proof that Equifax has admitted that I was in fact a victim of this data breach and Equifax has done nothing. Please help me delete these inquiries from my credit reports as they are negatively affecting my credit score. Thank you.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Consumer Complaint: I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Old information reappears or never goes away

Consumer Complaint: I disputed account information with this creditor on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XXXX citing incorrect information being reported. The account showed as Charged Off on two of my reports and continued to report as late ( XXXX and Equifax ). The vehicle was repossessed on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX and sold at auction on XXXX at this time I never received a Notice of Sale nor a Notice of Deficiency Balance. I asked XXXX and Equifax to investigate and the action took more than 30 days and a proper investigation was not completed. My XXXX complaint was answered in the proper timeframe but at that time the creditor illegally re-aged my date of last activity AND did a hard pull that resulted in an inquiry. As of XX/XX/XXXX, my Equifax report shows the date of last activity to be XX/XX/XXXXXXXX and my XXXX report shows the date of last activity to be XX/XX/XXXXXXXX although they continue to mark my account as late on my XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Comments are listed as Repossession, however, on Equifax the payment history for the last 2 years ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is listed as XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX services failed to accurately report information across the credit bureaus and the bureaus failed to properly investigate the same. Further, following the Fair Credit Reporting Act this creditor has violated my rights under 15 USC 1681 section 6 o 2 states I have the right to privacy ( 15 USC 1681 ( section 6 0 4 a section 2 ( it also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions under 15 USCS 1666b a creditor may not treat a payment on a credit account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose. Unfortunately, my files are too big to attach here, however, I have attached a few screenshots of relevant information and am happy to provide more details in another venue.
