Consumer Narrative
I have submitted a report to the FTC regarding the unauthorized credit inquiries ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ), which are a clear violation of my consumer rights. I have disputed these inquiries with Equifax, providing evidence and documentation to support my claim that I did not authorize these inquiries and that they are inaccurately listed on my credit report. Despite these actions and the clear provisions of the FCRA, Equifax has failed to remove the unauthorized credit inquiries from my credit report, stating that they are accurate. This response is not in compliance with the FCRA, and it undermines the protection of my consumer rights. I am writing to request that Equifax takes immediate and corrective action to address this issue in compliancewiththeFCRA. Attached you will also find my ID as proofofmyidentity and my Proof of Address.
