Consumer Narrative
I am authorizing the submission of dispute letters and the filing of this complaint through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureaus online system on my behalf. This authorization serves as confirmation that I have reviewed, approved, and directed these actions to ensure that my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) are fully protected. I am submitting this formal complaint against Equifax for repeated and willful violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) in connection with identity theft disputes I have filed. Despite providing Equifax with a complete FTC Identity Theft Report and supporting documentation, they have failed to block or delete fraudulent accounts from my credit report, as required by law. Specifically, the accounts in question include XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, which furnisher confirmed would be removed but remains on my report ; its is an identity theft related and should have been blocked under 1681c-2 of the FCRA. Equifaxs refusal to act constitutes a violation of 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ), for failing to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation, and 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ), for reinserting accounts without proper notice. These negligent actions have caused me emotional distress, wasted time, and financial harm. For reference and further substantiation, I am attaching a copy of the letter dated XX/XX/year>, which outlines my dispute and legal demand for deletion. This letter serves as formal notice and supports the claims made in this complaint.
