Consumer Complaint: In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The List of accounts below has violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681. I told XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax to reinvestigate these accounts : Account : # XXXX Account : # XXXX, Account : # XXXX, Account : # XXXX. However, they stated everything was complete and accurate. But how is that possible if the open date, date of last activity and much more is incorrect. According to 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ), they are supposed to modify accounts that aren't reporting correctly. 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) 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.

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: I am trying to buy a house and these things are delaying my home buying process. I have been a victim of aggravated identity theft. I need these items removed asap. Each creditor should have form SSA-89 signed by the consumer whenever credit is requested that way they have proof it was mailed and received by the said consumer and that way each person knows if/ and when fraud has or hasn't been committed. That form was requested by me to the creditor and they have yet to send that. It's been over 30 days since requested and over the timeframe. If they can't provide it they need to respectfully remove these items. Study what this form entails. I understand my consumer rights and how to proceed. I will contact the XXXX, and state attorney general to let them know such things are happening and not being honored if this isn't handled asap. Do not send a bill as a bill doesn't provide sufficient proof the said has applied for anything. Thank you for your prompt assistance.
