Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Personal information incorrect

Complaint:
I reached out to Equifax through mail with proof of my identity to correct the spelling of my name on my credit report on XX/XX/2023. I then followed up with a call on XX/XX/2023 to verify my information. Upon speaking to an agent I was told it has been updated and all middle initials were removed. I explained I have been receiving correspondence mail of my report addressed to an individual with the same name but a different middle initial than mine. I was assured it was fixed. I received my updated dispute/credit report in the mail on XX/XX/2023 dated XX/XX/2023 only to find that again it was addressed in the name I proved to not have been mine along with the statement " The results of our reinvestigation, your name is currently reporting correctly on your Equifax credit file. '' I have sent in a copy of a bill and drivers license to prove my identity and this bureau has been negligent against my personal information causing credit hardship, emotional distress due to lack of properly investigating, updating and documenting my credit report as requested violating my rights as a consumer.
