      I am submitting a formal complaint about fraudulent information on my credit report resulting from identity theft. I submitted a block and delete request 3 times to Equifax under 15 U.S. Code 1681c2, including my FTC Identity Theft Report and all necessary documents. However, Equifax has failed to comply with its legal obligation to delete the fraudulent information within four business days.Equifaxs repeated boilerplate responses requesting the same documentation, despite prior receipt, clearly demonstrate an attempt to stall compliance with federal law. This conduct is not only unacceptable, but constitutes a violation of:15 U.S. Code 1681c2 (failure to block identity theft-related data after valid request),15 U.S. Code 1681i(a)(1)(A) (failure to conduct a lawful reinvestigation of disputed information), and 15 U.S. Code 1681n and 1681o (liability for willful or negligent noncompliance with the FCRA).This is now my final notice after three prior attempts via certified mail. Despite being told over the phone that my documentation was received, I was later told it was not. I demand immediate action on the following:Credit First (CRDT FIRST) remains on the report with derogatory status.They are in violation of FCRA 1681c2 (failure to block identity theft information), 1681i(a)(5)(B) (unlawful reinsertion of deleted data), and potentially 1681n and 1681o (civil liability for willful and negligent noncompliance). I have documented each instance and will use this information in my complaints to the ***** FTC, and legal counsel.I have now complied multiple times with all your requests and exceeded the legal requirements necessary under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.Furthermore, I have evidence that the fraudulent information has been reinserted on more than one occasion without prior written notice, in violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681i(a)(5)(B).

      My credit report should only reflect accurate information, which is why its important to verify the accuracy of this data rather than relying solely on what the data furnisher has provided. Its frustrating to see my credit get negatively affected by inaccuracies that arent my fault. I'm deeply concerned about these errors and they've been causing me stress and it's also impacting my ability to secure new credit. They are mixed, fraudulent information that *** never authorized or benefited from.

      I have made efforts to contact each of the companies listed, and the majority have no record of me in their systems. If these entities have no knowledge of my identity, it is highly questionable how they could have had a permissible purpose to access my credit file. As a result, multiple fraudulent hard inquiries have appeared on my consumer FICO credit report.All of these inquiries are the direct result of identity theft and unauthorized activity. I have attached a copy of my Identity Theft Report, filed with the *****************************, as official proof that these inquiries are fraudulent.This complaint is being submitted pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act 605B (15 U.S.C. 1681c-2), which requires the credit reporting agency to block fraudulent information from my consumer credit file within four business days of receiving this request.The following inquiries do not belong to me and were not authorizedthey are the result of identity theft and must be removed.

      This complaint is being submitted directly by me, Kevin English, to dispute several unauthorized inquiries that appear on my credit report. I did not authorize these inquiries and am a victim of identity theft, stemming from the exposure of my personal information in the Equifax Data Breach.
      In accordance with 15 U.S. Code § 1681c–2, Experian is legally obligated to block and remove any information resulting from identity theft. These fraudulent inquiries must be deleted without delay.
      All supporting documentation is attached for your review and verification.
