Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Personal information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: Subject : Urgent : Address Dispute and Breach of Personal Information Dear Equifax Dispute Resolution Team, I hope this message finds you well. My name is [ Your Full Name ], and I am reaching out to address a critical matter regarding my personal information that has been breached, compromised, and fraudulently used by a former employee. In support of my dispute submission, I have attached the necessary documents through the Equifax web citrix, as per the outlined procedures. Regrettably, I must express my deep dissatisfaction with the lack of fairness and attention my case has received from Equifax. The specific concern at hand pertains to the inclusion of an address that is inaccurately listed in my file. This address, a po box , is not only outdated but also fails to reflect my current residence. It is crucial to emphasize that I neither receive mail at this po box nor is it representative of my current address, which I have owned for over 23 years. Equifax 's failure to promptly rectify this discrepancy has not only compromised my standing as a consumer but also as a creditor to my estate. Given the urgency of the matter and Equifax 's apparent negligence, I am left with no recourse but to consider legal action if the inaccurate address is not promptly deleted and amended to reflect my accurate and physical residence. I trust that Equifax will address this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves to avoid further legal implications. Thank you for your immediate attention to this pressing issue.
