Consumer Narrative
First and foremost I am submitting this complaint on behalf of myself and not a third party. this is my second request about this matter and I dont know what the problem is with Equifax and XXXX not abiding to the laws. I am a victim of identity theft and they are still reporting this information after I have already sent the proper documentation about these fraud accounts. I'm tired of this inconsistency with these credit reporting agencies the only one who seems to follow the laws is XXXX in this case. According to the FCRA law once the consumer makes it aware with documentation these fraudulent account should be deleted within 4 business days it has been over 4 months!! what is the problem? I have been trying to secure a home for my family and this fraudulent information that is being reported is causing me emotional stress and a financial burden because of lack of compliance from Equifax and XXXX as they continue to ruin my reputation by reporting this false information.
