Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
On XX/XX/23, I submitted disputes to the credit bureaus for an account appearing on my credit report, XXXX XXXX XXXX. I never received a response back so I went to the company directly and mailed them a letter on XX/XX/23. Still no response. Then I filed a complaint with the CFPB bureau, the company finally responded and said they mailed a letter on XX/XX/23. I believe this is a lie, because today is XX/XX/23 and the mail does not take 30 days. All I requested was simple validation/verification of the debt, any information at all, and the company also stated in their response to my complaint on the CFPB website that they could not provide me with any documentation, but that I had to go to a local branch. MAJOR RED FLAG. As I continued to wait on the mail they said they sent, I went over the letter again they posted in the CFPB website. The letter was photoshopped and it is so easy to see. My name, account number, and DATE, were photoshopped on a letter, I guess to make it look like they actually processed my letter to them. They continue to report information on my credit report, yet are unable to send me any information and are doctoring letters to make it look like they received my letters and responded to them. I have yet receive anything from XXXX, Equifax, or XXXX about this account, and my credit report does not say that this account is in dispute either.

Complaint:
I have disputed multiple fraudulent or innacurate items on all three major CRA 's ( XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX  ) over the last year to clean my inaccuracy 's after identity theft. XXXX  and XXXX   have been willing to successfully remove fraudulent and inaccurate entries that either never belonged to me or were opened without consent from me otherwise reported inaccurate information such as address information and name spellings..Equifax, however , over multiple attempts to have these corrections made have been unwilling to co-operate to fix these errors and therefore has left me with only them holding false, negative, and incorrect information. I have made numerous attempts and nothing has been removed or altered. The incorrect Information needs to be removed and the investigation by Equifax should have had the same outcome as the investigation by XXXX and XXXX  - as all the CRA 's are receiving the same information presumably from the investigation. These mis-informations and unwillingness to remove the items are hurting me financially and aren't my responsibilities either. Equifax also placed a fraud alert on my report without my asking for it - even though they will not remove false information ( addresses I've never lived at, collections accounts that don't meet requirements of FCRA and can not be validated, names I do not go by and that belong to someone else, etc ) PLEASE HELP!

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
I have contacted this credit bureau in regards to incorrect and improper reporting on my account. I initially submitted my complaint on XX/XX/2022 to XXXX, XXXX and Equifax. After I submitted my complain via the CFPB, I was asked to provide documentation to verify my identity in which I did. I sent these bureaus 3 different sets of copies to verify my identity via certified mail and the first two we're unsuccessfully received. My last set of verification documents was sent off last Monday yet all agencies have closed my complaint without removing this information that doesn't belong to me. 
The credit bureaus 's stated that my account has was properly investigated but how can that be when I've been a victim of identity theft and this information doesn't belong to me? I've submitted a Identity Theft Affidavit along with this complaint stating this information. 

This is grounds for removal under the following : 15 USC 1681c-2 -a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt by such agency of ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report ; ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer; and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. 

All of these requirements have been met and still this inaccurate and incorrect information is being reported on my account.

Complaint:
It is irritably annoying that these fraudulent accounts keep on existing despite the successful deletion of these accounts by other credit bureaus. They persist on your report as the only bureau reporting the same fraudulent accounts. I am providing additional details to facilitate the expedited removal of these inaccurate entries. 
Account Information : XXXX XXXX  XXXX -PLEASE DELETE!!!! 
XXXX XXXX -PLEASE DELETE!!!! 
XXXX XXXX  XXXX -PLEASE DELETE!!!! 
I previously disputed these fraudulent accounts with supporting documentation, including an Identity Theft Affidavit. Other credit bureaus have acknowledged the fraudulent nature of these accounts and subsequently removed them from their reports. 
I am requesting your immediate attention to this matter and a thorough investigation into the continued existence of these fraudulent accounts on your credit report. As other credit bureaus have already taken appropriate action, it is crucial that you expedite the resolution of this dispute and remove the inaccurate and damaging information from my credit file.
