      Dear Connie Brown,
      Thank you for submitting George Hodges rebuttal on 6/30/2025 through the BBB Complaint Portal. 
      Consumers can generally expect to receive the results of their dispute within 30 days. If the information is found to be inaccurate, their credit report will be updated, generally within about 30 days.
      If the result of the investigation finds that the information is accurate, it will remain on their credit report. If they still believe the information is inaccurate or incomplete, and have additional information that can help support their dispute, they can file their dispute again. They will also have the option to provide a brief statement on their credit report summarizing their dispute, which can help explain their situation. Or they could contact the creditor to attempt to resolve the issue.
      If they have any additional questions, they may call (888) 836-6351 or they may visit www.myequifax.com. With myEquifax, they can create an account to manage their security freeze, add or remove fraud alerts, and initiate credit file disputes.

      I am writing to formally submit a complaint regarding an issue i have encountered with my credit report. I have been a victim of identity theft and do not recognize these accounts. These accounts are injurious to my credit rating. 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 602A States I have a right to privacy. 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 604A Section 2. Also states a consumer reporting agency cannot furnish an account without my written instructions. 15 U.S.C. 1681C(a)(5) states no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information. Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years. These accounts has caused me severe harm, including financial damage, emotional distress, anxiety, and depression. The inaccurate information on my credit report has also prevented me from obtaining credit for personal and household purposes, further exacerbating my financial and emotional strain.

According to USC1681 I have the right to privacy. According to *** 1681S-2 A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to a consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. Portfolio ******************* and *********************** is reporting information after notice and confirmation of errors. These companies have several violations 15 USC 1681aand 15USC 1681S-2(A) (i). I am not using a third party agency to help me with anything. I am using the consumer law.

      ive had my identity stolen in 2014 and i believe that person still has access to my information after looking at my credit report and seeing all of these fraudulent inquires and applications in my name. im hoping the bbb can act as a third party to speed up the process of getting these items removed
