The CFPB also found furnishers companies that provide information to consumer reporting companies failed to correct false or fraudulent information sent to consumer reporting companies. 

Survivors of XXXX XXXXXXXX  and victims of identity theft have the right to block information improperly placed on their credit report, said CFPB XXXX XXXX XXXX. We will be taking additional steps to ensure that companies correct false and inaccurate information on credit reports. 

Consumer reporting companies and furnishers play a crucial role in ensuring the accuracy and integrity of information contained in credit reports. Inaccurate or false information can infect credit reports because of reporting failures by consumer reporting companies or by those who furnish information, including banks, loan servicers, and debt collectors. Inaccurate or false information can also end up on credit reports when consumer reporting companies and furnishers do not follow their dispute resolution obligations or their obligations relating to identity theft and XXXX  XXXX. 

The CFPB continues to prioritize examinations of consumer reporting companies and furnishers. CFPB examiners have found failures by these companies to follow aruleimplemented in XX/XX/XXXX to help survivors mitigate the financial consequences of XXXX  XXXX. The rule requires credit reporting companies to block, from credit reports, adverse information that resulted from XXXX  XXXX. Specifically, todays edition XXXX XXXX : XXXX reporting companies failed to block or remove information related to identity theft and XXXX  XXXX  : Examiners found that companies refused to honor consumer requests to block information associated with identity theft based on over broad criteria; failed to inform consumers when blocks were denied or rescinded ; failed to provide victims of identity theft with summaries of rights ; and failed to timely block all information resulting from XXXX XXXX identified by consumers. 

Consumer reporting companies accepted information from unreliable furnishers : Examiners found companies accepted information from furnishers that XXXX have been no longer providing reliable, verifiable information about consumers. For example, consumer reporting companies continued to include information from furnishers that failed to respond to all or nearly all disputes or that issued the same responses to all disputes. 

Furnishers provided information to consumer reporting companies they knew was false : Examiners found that auto loan furnishers continued to share incomplete or inaccurate information for several months or even years after learning the information was false, incomplete, or inaccurate. In other instances, furnishers provided information even after they determined the information was fraudulent or due to identity theft. 

Furnishers did not follow requirements for dispute investigations and identity theft : Examiners found that some furnishers continued to furnish information that consumers were disputing without indicating the information was in dispute. In other instances, furnishers failed to conduct investigations into the accuracy of information consumers disputed. 

In response to the CFPBs findings, the involved consumer reporting companies and furnishers are taking corrective actions. For example, CFPB examiners directed consumer reporting companies to revise their compliance processes to ensure that they process all XXXX  XXXX  block requests per the law. In other instances, furnishers conducted look backs to ensure they deleted all accounts they determined to be opened fraudulently. 

In addition to its supervision work, the CFPB has taken regulatory and enforcement actions to strengthen the consumer reporting and furnishing systems.
