Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: i am formally making this complaint because XXXX and Equifax has been reporting unfair and inaccurate information on my Consumer Report. Now because their willful non compliance i have not been able to obtain any goods or Services for personal for personal, family and household purposes. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 USC 1681 it clearly states that There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. I have the right to make sure my private information isnt shared which is also backed up by 15 USC 6801 ( a ) Privacy obligation policy It is the policy of the Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers nonpublic personal information. May i remind you that XXXX and Equifax are credit reporting agencies. by definition A credit reporting agency ( also called a credit bureau or credit agency ) is a private company that collects and sells information about a person or corporations identifying information, debt, and repayment history in order to create credit reports and credit scores indicating the creditworthiness of each person or corporation. Credit reports are sold to qualified extenders of credit or to those for whom a would-be debtor has executed a release. Credit reports and scores are used by banks, mortgage lenders, credit card companies, landlords, and potential employers to screen applicants. The three major credit reporting agencies Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX are regulated by the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act and are members of the Associated Credit Bureaus of America. so with that being said Equifax and XXXX is also a Financial instution, not only are you reporting in accurate information on my consumer report but your also selling my personal information. i am no longer requesting you to report fair and accurate information on my consumer report, i am now DEMANDING!!!! you guys are reporting transactions, charge offs on my consumer report which is ILLEGAL and a DIRECT VIOLATION of the FCRA. i would like to remind you you that charge offs are considered income and income is not to be reported on a consumer report as well. 15 USC 1681 a ( 2 ) ( a ) ( i ) ( 2 ) Exclusions.Except as provided in paragraph ( 3 ), the term consumer report does not include ( A ) subject to section 1681s3 of this title, any ( i ) report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report ;. you also have also been reporting adverse items on my consumer report which is also a direct violation of the FCRA. like i said because of this, it has caused me not only financial hard but embarrassment as well going into establishments trying to obtain goods and services and being denied in public

Issue: Written notification about debt

Subissue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Consumer Complaint: I am writing to dispute and request the immediate removal of several accounts on my credit report that are inaccurately marked as charge-offs due to identity theft. I have recently become aware of this fraudulent activity, and I am taking prompt action to rectify the situation. I was the victim & I'm not sure why the CRA is not complying with the law. The other bureaus have followed suit. Im very confused why this one seems to ignore my requests. The fraudulent accounts in question are as follows : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX FRAUD, PLEASE DELETE!!!!! XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX FRAUD, PLEASE DELETE!!!!! XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX FRAUD, PLEASE DELETE!!!!! XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX FRAUD, PLEASE DELETE!!!!! XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX FRAUD, PLEASE DELETE!!!!! XXXX XXXX XXXX - XXXX have already removed this account from their records. There was an error present & they were able to find it. I'm confused about how you've verified it while the other bureaus have removed it. Please delete this from my file. It is inaccurate, erroneous, incomplete, or unverifiable. I have attached supporting documentation, including a copy of the identity theft report filed with the appropriate authorities and any other relevant information. This documentation serves as evidence of the identity theft and supports my request for the aggressive and immediate deletion of these erroneous charge-off entries. I understand that, according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the credit reporting agencies are required to conduct a reasonable investigation into any dispute within 30 days of receiving the dispute. Given the nature of identity theft and the potential harm it can cause to my financial well-being, I request that you expedite this process and take aggressive measures to remove the fraudulent charge-off accounts from my credit report at the earliest possible time. I kindly request that you provide written confirmation once the investigation is complete and the inaccurate information has been removed from my credit report. Additionally, please ensure that my updated credit report is sent to all entities that have received my credit information within the last six months. Your immediate attention to this matter is crucial, and I appreciate your prompt assistance in resolving this identity theft issue. If you require any further information or documentation, please do not hesitate to contact me.
