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

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

Consumer Complaint: RE : File # XXXX CFBP Complaint ID XXXX Equifax needs to delete disputed accounts ( XXXX XXXX account # XXXX XXXX XXXX account # XXXX ) from my report within 14 days. According to Equifax, complaint ID # XXXX verified these accounts as accurate. Upon my inspection it is clear that accuracy and fairness of credit reporting by Equifax was negligibly noncompliant. On my Equifax report it shows my name as a XXXX XXXX XXXX which is NOT ACCURATE. I have never been a XXXX XXXX XXXX nor have I had XXXX XXXX XXXX in my name, other non-Equifax reports will confirm this. How can an investigation be " verified '' according to Equifax and also remain fair and accurate as defined under the 15 U.S. Code 1681 if the name is not accurate? The use of XXXX XXXX XXXX denotes a totally different name and individual. Equifax has failed as required by the FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681i et seq. and 15 U.S. Code 1681i et seq. and 15 U.S. Code 1681c et seq. and 15 U.S. Code 1681b et seq. I am requesting the correct update to my name, deletion of XXXX XXXX account # XXXX and XXXX XXXX account # XXXX from my report because they were never verified correctly and accurately at the time of investigation. Any continued failure to report otherwise will be witnessed as willful non-compliance and subjected to a {$1000.00} per day fee for each violation and after 14 days an attorney fee of {$25000.00}. Thank you for your attention on this matter.

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: I just look at my credit report again and according to 15 USC 1681e ( b ) you are supposed to provide MAXIMUM accuracy of my credit report. THESE ARE THE ACCOUNTS 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 ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX ) # XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I just got my credit report on XX/XX/XXXX and noticed some Accounts on my credit report are incomplete and inaccurate which is a violation of 15 USC 1681e ( b ). They also violated 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) & ( b ), 15 USC 1681 ( 5 ) ( A ) ( i ) & ( ii ). At this point I believe they are doing this on purpose. According to 15 USC 1681e ( b ) Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. They must be blind because everything is inconsistent.

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

Subissue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Consumer Complaint: I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 30 days later I have not received a response yet. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ), it is plainly stated that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report it has been over 30 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax, XXXX and XXXX data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.
