Consumer Complaint: Request for Payment of Arbitration Filing Fees XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Tennessee XXXX XXXX Equifax Consumer Services LLC XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, GA XXXX Attn : Request for Payment of Arbitration Filing Fees Dear Equifax This is a formal request that Equifax advance all arbitration fees prior to the commencement of the arbitration. The invasion of my privacy has caused ingury to my personal life and prohibited me from obtaining new credit. This is also my notice in writing to inform you of my intent to pursue legal action against Equifax for violations of federal statutes, including 15 USC 6802 ( a ), 15 USC 1682 ( b ), and the Consumer Privacy Act of 1974. The basis for this claim stems from the alleged breach of fiduciary duty, mishandling and disregard for the privacy rights of consumers. In CFPB complaint XXXX, I stated The List of accounts below has violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681. XXXX XXXX XXXX : # XXXX, has violated my rights. XXXX XXXX XXXX : # XXXX, has violated my rights. XXXX XXXX XXXX : # XXXX, has violated my rights. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, has violated my rights. XXXX : # XXXX, has violated my rights. XXXX XXXX : # XXXX, has violated my rights. XXXX : # XXXX, has violated my rights. XXXX XXXX : # XXXX, has violated my rights. XXXX XXXX XXXX : # XXXX 15 U.S. Code 1681 section 602 A. States I have the right to privacy. 15 U.S. Code 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 : It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions. 15 U.S. Code 1681c. ( a ) ( 5 ) Section 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. 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. But Equifas replied saying all accounts were verified but whom gave Equifax authorization? Where did they get their information? In my last CFPB complaint # XXXX filed XXXX was a reminder of the equifax data breach settlement claim # XXXX and the extended claim # XXXX filed as well. There has been no response in the package received by Equifax XX/XX/XXXX or in the previous CFPB complaints filed. Please adhere to the contact of equifax in the arbitration agreement which i have attached the Equifax XXXX XXXX Thank you XXXX XXXX
