Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: I am writing to bring to your attention a matter of great concern related to what appears to be an ongoing and persistent issue of multiple attempts to remove fraudulent items from my credit report. Despite my previous efforts to rectify this situation, it is disconcerting to observe that unauthorized parties are making repeated and unauthorized attempts to alter my credit information. I wish to outline the following specific concerns : I have noticed and documented several instances where fraudulent items on my credit report have been subject to removal attempts without my authorization or validation. These unauthorized actions not only compromise the accuracy of my credit history but also raise serious questions about the security of my credit information. Despite the evident impact of these removal attempts, I have not been contacted by your agency for proper verification or authentication. The absence of thorough verification procedures is alarming and contributes to the ongoing vulnerability of my credit information. Given the persistent nature of these removal attempts, I am deeply concerned about the heightened risk of identity theft. I have taken immediate steps to secure my personal information, but I urgently request a comprehensive investigation to prevent further unauthorized alterations to my credit report. I formally request that your agency conducts an immediate and thorough investigation into these incidents. Additionally, I seek regular updates on the progress of the investigation, along with detailed information on any actions taken to prevent and rectify the unauthorized removal attempts on my credit report. To assist in your investigation, I have attached relevant documents. I understand the importance of maintaining the integrity and security of credit information, and I trust that your agency will treat this matter with the urgency it deserves. I kindly request a reference number for tracking purposes and confirmation of the receipt of this formal complaint. I am asking for your assistance to remove these fraudulent items in my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

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

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: This is in response to previously filed CFPB complaints ID # XXXX ID # XXXX ID # XXXX The response your Agency provided stated that " XXXX Equifax/XXXX has completed its investigation including contacting the Furnisher ... and that XXXX Equifax/XXXX verified that the public information is reporting correctly '' consequently , I'd like to state that I contacted the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in FL, where this bankrupcy XXXX XXXX was filed and the court , the only reliable Furnisher in this instance, confirms that they DO NOT report to XXXX or any other Bureau for that matter. Therefore, your initial response verifying the item is either in error or a lie. Either way, the reporting requirements DO NOT COMPLY with FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 16811 ) and the infomation must be deleted immediately.
