Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

On XX/XX/2023, I submitted XXXX separate dispute & investigation requests to Equifax regarding what I believe to be inaccuracies on my credit report. As of today, XX/XX/XXXX, I have not heard any result or communication regarding these requests and no dispute has ever been opened. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), consumer reporting agencies are required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation within 30 days of receiving a dispute notice unless they reasonably determine that the dispute is frivolous or irrelevant. Unfortunately, despite the passage of more than 30 days since my dispute was submitted, I have not received any response or resolution from Equifax. 

This lack of response is not only a violation of my rights under the FCRA but also negatively impacts my financial well-being. 

I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action against Equifax for their failure to comply with the FCRA. 

This is a Violation of Fair Credit Reporting Act & The accounts in question should be deleted in their entirety from my credit file immediately due to failure of Equifax to respond in the legally required time frame.

I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the inaccurate reporting of a late payment on my credit report by credit bureaus. The presence of this late payment inaccurately reflects my payment history, as I have consistently paid my bills on time. This discrepancy constitutes a billing error, violating my rights under the Fair Credit Billing Act, 15 USC 1666B. According to this law, consumers have the right to dispute and seek correction of billing errors, which include inaccuracies in payment reporting.

Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several accounts that I do not recognize and believe to be fraudulent. These accounts appear to be opened without my authorization, and I am deeply concerned about the potential impact on my credit standing and financial well-being. I suspect that I am a victim of identity theft, as I have not initiated or authorized the opening of these accounts. The presence of these unauthorized accounts on my credit report has caused me significant distress and uncertainty about the security of my personal information. I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the unrecognized accounts for your reference.

On XX/XX/year>, I uploaded a dispute letter to XXXX XXXX, requesting specific information on how they verified the accuracy of the bankruptcy reporting on my credit report. 

Public Record Court Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Reference Number : XXXX Specifically, I requested that Experian provide the following information : The date you contacted the creditor/furnisher Name of the person who verified the item Method of communication used to verify information Whether the creditor provided SSN, address, and date of birth Despite my clear and thorough request and the provision of my driver 's license, a copy of my Social Security card , and proof of address, I have not received any response from Experian. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), if the completeness or accuracy of any item of information in a consumer 's file at a bureau is disputed by the consumer, the credit reporting agencies must conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate.

It appears that Experian has violated my consumer rights by not conducting a reasonable investigation upon receipt of my dispute. This lack of response and investigation is a direct violation of the FCRA, which mandates that credit reporting agencies must ensure the accuracy and completeness of information in consumer credit reports.

I recently reviewed my consumer report and I noticed that there were two late payments on my account with XXXX XXXX XXXX that I havent been late for. In addition to that, I have also noticed that several of my consumer rights have been violated in the midst of these late payments being added to my credit report. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), as outlined in 15 USC 1681e ( b ), consumer reporting agencies are responsible for providing maximum accuracy when reporting consumer information, however my consumer report has several inaccuracies that I have attached below. made several attempts to this company to stop reporting innacurate information on my credit report, they refuse to do so and its causing me a world of trouble and stress. They did not complete a Social Security Form 3288 ( SSA-3288 ), which is required for permissible purpose under FCRA. This raises serious concerns about the legitimacy of the information reported, as well as the adherence to privacy regulations. I obtained my credit report it is reporting numerous innacurate negative accounts. This has not only damaged my right to extend credit but it has made loose hope and trust within the banking system. I have been denied credit cards home loans because of this and my character has not only been defamed but my mental and physical health have suffered greatly. There is no law that says a consumer reporting agency MUST furnish information about a consumer which is why congress made it very clear that experian, XXXXXXXX XXXXASSUMED this VITAL role pursuant too 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 3 ). Also, Experian, XXXX XXXXfailed to be fair and repect my privacy according too 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ). I am requesting valid proof and documentation that these negative items were investigated fairly and properly. Experian, XXXX, and XXXX is in violation of several federal laws including responsibility they have to protect my privacy. Im giving experian the oppurtunity to make this matter right by way of the following ; REMOVE ACCOUNTS, REMOVE LATE PAYMENTS, REMOVE INQUIRIES, REMOVE INNACURATE PERSONAL INFORMATION. I have included certified mail slip proving the received these documents.
