Consumer complaint received 2019-02-05
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent Equifax a letter CERTIFIED MAIL in regards to erroneous hard inquiries on my credit. Today I received a letter stating that the inquiries are factual and that I need to contact the creditor to get them resolved. This is a clear violation of FCRA Per FCRA section 609, 605 and via 623 XXXX who is assumed as the credit reporting agency MUST provide proof IN WRITING and provide consent to the inquiries that I have requested to be removed. I know that there is no such proof. IF this inquiries are not researched as prescribed by law and removed as they should be I am seeking the CFPB help me document this information and escalate if needed, so I can collect for breach of FCRA and collect for any damages assumed to my person resulting in higher rates. By the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I demand that these items be investigated and removed from my report. It is my understanding that you will recheck these items with the creditor who has posted them. Please remove any information that the creditor can not verify. I understand that under 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1681i ( a ), you must complete this reinvestigation within 30 days of receipt. Being that I already sent in my request also certified mail, per FCRA I am looking to get a response on this fairly quicker than the initial 30 days.
