Subject : Complaint Against Equifax for Inadequate Response and Delay in Addressing My Dispute Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax for their inadequate response to my dispute submitted through the CFPB Complaint Portal on XX/XX/year>. Despite providing all necessary identification documents and information, Equifax 's response on XX/XX/year>, indicated they were unable to locate my credit file and requested additional documents that had already been submitted. 
Company 's Response : Equifax stated : " It is our policy to take each complaint seriously and to respond to complaints swiftly. We have reviewed and considered the information you supplied through the CFPB Complaint Portal. The results are below : We were unable to locate a credit file in our database with the identification information you provided. In order to further assist you, we will need additional documents to verify your identification. Please provide your complete Name, Current and Former Addresses, Social Security Number, and Date of Birth. Please provide a copy of a Valid Social Security Card and Driver 's license. We hope this resolves your concerns. If you have any additional questions, you may call XXXX ( XXXX ) or you may visit www.myequifax.com. With myEquifax, you can create an account to manage your security freeze, add or remove fraud alerts, and initiate credit file disputes. Additionally, you can access free Equifax credit reports and other products. You may also obtain a free copy of your credit report on annualcreditreport.com. '' Issue : Despite providing the required documentation initially, Equifax 's response has delayed the resolution of my dispute and failed to address my concerns adequately. The requested documents were already provided, including my complete name, current and former addresses, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, a valid Social Security Card, and Driver 's License. 
Violations : Equifax 's actions constitute a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically : 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( Procedure in case of disputed accuracy ) : Failure to conduct a proper investigation and address the inaccuracies in my credit report.

15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ( Compliance procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy ) : Failure to maintain accurate and complete information in my credit report.

I am sure yo u are aware that it is against the law to threaten suit without any intention of doing so. Therefore, be advised that I am extremely serious about filing suit against your company. I have sent numerous letters requesting for you to investigate and remove all inaccurate information that is being reported on my personal credit profile, yet you continue to fail to do so. 

It is my understanding of the law that you MUST honor each and every request to investigate incorrect information and you seem to have ignored all of my previous requests. That is a crystal clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act which provides a cause of action for an individual consumer as well as penalties and liabilities for both consumer reporting agencies and furnishers of information for non-compliance as violation of its provisions. 
As I stated before, this is my final request for you to do as you are governed by the FCRA. If this final request does not prompt you to conduct a proper investigation of the accounts in question, I will be forced to file suit against your company in the county in which I live. That way, you can travel here in order to defend yourselves.

My account with XXXX  XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 

I demand the late payment reported in XXXX, XXXX, AND XXXX to be removed. 

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 

XXXX  XXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). 

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

I am writing to express my profound disappointment, anger, and disbelief regarding your handling of the fraudulent account that has appeared on my credit report. Despite my numerous attempts to resolve this issue and my diligent submission of all required documentation, including the FTC Identity Theft Report, this fraudulent account remains unresolved, and my credit report continues to reflect inaccuracies that are severely impacting my financial standing and peace of mind. 
I brought this fraudulent account to your attention because I was assured that an investigation would be conducted, and the account would be removed if found to be fraudulent. Since then, I have written multiple letters and provided all necessary documents, including : A detailed explanation of the fraudulent accounts. 
The completed FTC Identity Theft Report. 
Copies of my identification documents. 
Any additional information requested by your office. 

Despite my compliance and the clear evidence presented, I am deeply frustrated to find that my efforts have been in vain. The account in question remain on my credit report, and I have not received any satisfactory resolution or clear communication regarding the status of your investigation. 

It is disheartening to experience such neglect and lack of responsiveness from an institution that plays a crucial role in safeguarding consumer financial information. The continued presence of this fraudulent account is not only unjust but also a severe breach of my rights as a consumer. I expect prompt and decisive action to rectify this situation.
