Consumer Narrative
Equifax has been breached and they refuse to delete these accounts. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Please delete this from my credit reports immediately. I am stressed and displeased that there has been no removal of accounts on my credit report. This is really damaging my credit worthiness. I'm trying to buy a house for my family and this is not fair. I have tried several of times to get these accounts removed. Let alone my information was in a XXXX & Equifax breach some months ago so I thought you guys would protect my consumer report. I do not feel that my information is being protected. This is a defamation to my character and this is a federal law violation. According to, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) my consumer report fairness and privacy has been violated. I am upset!! I am depending on the banking system and credit reporting agency to promote my privacy and fairness and they have not. This is not right and going against my federal consumer rights. This is causing emotional and mental stress as of now. Also it is illegal these companies should NOT be furnisher people 's information to 3rd party companies so this is illegal, neglect and fraud. This is negatively effecting my livelihood and putting me in a bad space. I feel your database is inaccurate and I am filing ligation against this if these items aren't removed immediately.
