Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

My last CFPB complaint was closed prematurely with no actual resolution. The company ( Equifax ) only acknowledged that they received my complaint and that they were looking into it. They did not provide me with any findings. Please do not close this case until the company acknowledges that that they have deleted the false reporting or provides me with proof that it belongs it me. Given their history with failing to do any actual research or investigations, I ask that you do NOT close this complaint until they provide proof of ownership or they respond with a deletion letter. 

I opened a dispute regarding a bankruptcy on my credit report with Equifax many times since 2020 and they continue to close out the dispute within a couple days, stating that it has been verified. 

When I asked them to provide me with information on who verified the Bankruptcy, they ignored me. I was able to find on their website that they verify all public records with XXXX XXXX so I reached out to XXXX XXXX and they were not able to verify the bankruptcy so they deleted the bankruptcy from their reports and they sent me a letter stating that ( attached ), along with a new XXXX XXXX report showing the report was removed. 

https : XXXX/ I also sent the courthouse where the bankruptcy on the report is stating the bankruptcy is from, asking if they verify any bankruptcies with any credit bureaus and they also sent me a letter back stating that they do not verify any bankruptcies with any credit bureaus. ( attached ) I sent all this information ( letters ) to Equifax via certified mail and they received it on XX/XX/XXXX, proof of delivery is also included in this complaint. I called Equifax today because there have been no remarks added to the bankruptcy about the dispute since the XXXX and the person I spoke with, told me that the dispute was opened and is already closed ( Confirmation # XXXX XXXX XXXX ). He said the notes in that dispute simply state that bankruptcies stay on a report for 10 years. This shows that Equifax doesn't do any actual investigations and the person I spoke with also confirmed that he saw my letters and Equifax still refused to do any actual investigation of their own. He said there was nothing he could do except open another dispute ( Confirmation # XXXX XXXX XXXX ). 

At this point, I have no choice but to open a complaint with the CFPB in hopes of getting this resolved, they have made a serious impact on my credit for something that doesn't belong to me. My next step will be legal action against Equifax if this is not resolved. 


Company 's Response from my previous complaint below, was prematurely closed. CFPB report that shows they have not provided any proof yet and merely acknowledged that they are looking into it.
