Consumer Complaint: Equifax responded to my attempts to ascertain my credit history by 2 pieces of mail stating that I had no credit history and they sent it to the correct address but wrong name. I have made numerous attempts to alert them my identity has been stolen, that I can not use their online or phone services because the personal identifying information you as the consumer must provide before getting access to a menu is based on FRAUDULENT information that I do not have! How am I to identify myself if the information is fraud based?!?! The local precinct will not provide me new police reports as this has been ongoing since 2017! I am desperately trying to deal with something that Equifax clearly mishandled. Im not seeking anything but a fair chance to remove fraud and finally get MY life back.

I have suffered identity theft and power of attorney fraud by the following companies. Pursuant to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, a United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in XXXX ruled and emphasized that for a creditor to rely on a consumer 's consent, it must be informed and voluntary. Mere inclusion of a consent provision in a contract does not automatically establish informed and voluntary consent. The financial institution must demonstrate that the consumer explicitly provided consent, indicating their understanding and agreement to have information reported to credit bureaus. Pursuant to FCRA 605b and 15 USC 1681 c-2 i demand the account be removed and blocked from my reporting or you may be held liable for noncompliance pursuant to 15 USC 1681o and 15 USC 1681n .
