Date Received: 2024-01-04

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: I recently checked my credit report and realized the company is reporting unknown adverse information on my credit report concerning an alleged debt. I have no knowledge of any business with the company. And I also never engaged in any contracts giving the company consent to furnish anything on my credit report. I feel extremely violated and upset that my privacy would be invaded in such a way. And that my identity would be used without my consent. The company 's actions have damaged my credit rating and hindered my access to credit. The company has violated FCRA permissible purposes of consumer reports, by furnishing unknown transactions to credit reporting agencies without my written consent. The company has also violated FDCPA 1692e by communicating with me concerning the false character, amount, and legal status of the alleged debt. And stating that I owe that debt. According to 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ) the credit bureaus have to modify or delete accounts that are not reporting accurately. According to 15 USC 1681b ( 1 ), the credit bureaus do not have written permission. According to 15 USC 1681, I have the right to privacy. According to 15 USC 1681s-2, 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. ( B ) Reporting information after notice and confirmation of errors A person shall not furnish information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if ( i ) the person has been notified by the consumer, at the address specified by the person for such notices, that specific information is inaccurate; and ( ii ) the information is, in fact, inaccurate.

Consumer Complaint: on XXXX XXXX XXXX i sent some letters to Equifax about the method of verification of the way the conduct their investigations, about the procedure that Equifax uses, looks like Equifax is either not really investigating anything or they just like to stall tactic method on Federally protected consumers like me and not provide real documentation to back up any claim that an item was actually verified according to the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA section 611 ). I would like your help in this matter. I feel as though Equifax does not care about breaking federal rules. CFPB please help me..
