Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

Recently i was alerted i may have had my info breached along with over XXXX XXXX other records of Americans. After following the government suggested website, they advised i freeze my reports and check them as well. I recently unfroze my reports as i was getting ready to apply, so when i checked and saw 3+ inquires from companies that i DID not give consent to pull my report, nor did i have knowledge they would be doing so. After checking around i have come to the conclusion that this is illegal for them to do. That being said i requested the company remove these inquiries and send me a report back showing they were removed. i did not recieve one the first time so i am filing this complaint hoping you will help me make sure they take action on these fraudulent inquiries.

I am writing to file a complaint regarding inaccurate information being reported on my credit report by XXXX, XXXX and Transunion. I have disputed this information multiple times with the credit reporting agencies, but despite my efforts, the issue has not been resolved. Additionally, I have contacted the company directly requesting verification of the debt, but they have failed to provide the requested documentation or correct the information. 

Here are the details : Disputed Information : The inaccurate information involves an account with XXXX XXXX ; an incorrect balance, wrong account status, incorrect dates of activity. 
Actions Taken : I disputed the information with the three credit reporting agencies on XXXX, XXXX and XXXX, but the agencies have not resolved the issue. I also contacted XXXX XXXX directly to request verification of the debt, including account statements, proof of debt and the original contract, but I have not received all documentation or a satisfactory response. 
Request for Documentation : I specifically asked XXXX, XXXX and Transunion for proof of the debt and supporting documentation, but they have failed to provide any such information. Despite this, the inaccurate information remains on my credit report. 
I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau assist in resolving this issue, as the credit reporting agencies and the company reporting the debt have failed to properly investigate or substantiate the inaccurate information. I believe this is a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and assistance in resolving this dispute.

I am writing to formally dispute the practices of the following companies on my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding the inaccurate reporting of my credit information, which I believe to be in violation of both Law 605 ( b ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( USC 1681 ).

According to Law 605 ( b ), a consumer reporting agency must ensure maximum possible accuracy in the information it reports. However, the information reported by the credit bureaus is not only inaccurate but also misleading, causing significant harm to my credit standing and financial well-being. Despite my repeated attempts to rectify this issue directly with the bureaus, they have failed to respond adequately, which is unacceptable.

Furthermore, USC 1681 outlines the responsibilities of credit reporting agencies to conduct reasonable investigations into disputes. It is clear that the bureaus have not adhered to these requirements, as they have neglected to provide evidence to support the claims, nor have they updated or corrected the erroneous information in a timely manner. 

I would like the CFPB to investigate this matter thoroughly and hold the bureaus accountable for blatant disregard of consumer rights and failure to comply with federal regulations and doing a proper investigation. I am prepared to escalate this issue further, including potential legal action, if this matter is not resolved promptly. 


I would like a prompt acknowledgment of this letter and a detailed explanation of the actions the CFPB will take regarding this issue. Please consider this matter urgent, as continued inaccuracies in my credit report will only exacerbate the situation. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this serious matter.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

I am bringing to your attention that an account on my credit report continues to be verified as accurate, despite the fact that I have provided attached documentation proving the information is incorrect. Your agency has not made the necessary corrections or removed the inaccurate details, and the account is still being reported inaccurately.

This failure to address the issue is in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which requires a proper investigation of disputed information. I request that you promptly reinvestigate and ensure that the inaccurate information is corrected or removed from my credit report.

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX Nature of Complaint : On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a dispute to Equifax disputing a late payment reported by XXXX  I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : Payment Submitted On Time : I submitted my payment for XXXX on time, well before the due date. I have attached bank statements and payment confirmations that clearly show the payment was processed before the deadline, yet the payment was incorrectly recorded as late. 
Clerical Error at XXXX : After noticing the error, I contacted XXXX customer service, and they confirmed that the late payment entry was a result of a clerical error on their end. The payment was applied to the wrong account, which delayed its proper processing. I have attached email correspondence from XXXX that acknowledges this mistake. 
Delay in Payment Posting by XXXX : The late payment entry is also a result of a delay in XXXX  payment processing system. Although the payment was made well in advance of the due date, it took several days for XXXX to post the payment to my account. I have attached communication with XXXX customer support, where they confirm the delay in posting the payment was due to their internal processing issues, not my failure to make a timely payment. 

Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Equifax has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. 
As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being. 

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
