Complaint:
Equifax stated below they mailed a copy to me with the addresses deleted. That is false. I have NOT received an updated credit report with the addresses deleted as they reported to CFPB. ( response below ) Hello, I mailed a copy of my correct address along with my Social Security card, and a letter asking for the removal of XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, NC XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NC XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NC XXXX to Equifax on XX/XX/XXXX. The letters were mailed with confirmations to ensure I could verify the arrival of this letter. Equifax mailed a letter stating the addresses were deleted and provided a confirmation number. ( XXXX ). I viewed my credit report on XX/XX/XXXX and saw the incorrect addresses were still listed. I contacted Equifax by phone on XX/XX/XXXX and received another confirmation number ( XXXX ) and an apology from the representative. I was promised the incorrect addresses would be removed the same day. I checked my credit report again, XX/XX/XXXX, and spoke to a person named XXXX, and he stated he saw that I received a confirmation for the removal ; however, he could not remove them, it would take 48 hours to file a dispute. This company is not following the law and deliberately going account what the law says.
