Subject : Request for Investigation of Equifax for Ignoring Dispute of Inaccurate Identification Information and Delayed Credit Report Dear Sir/Madam , I am writing to file a complaint against Equifax for its failure to address my dispute of inaccurate identification information on my Consumer file and for its failure to send my credit reports in a timely fashion. Furthermore, Equifax has rejected my appropriate identification documents even though I provided all necessary proof of identity as defined in 1022.123 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. As a consumer, I have the right to ensure the accuracy of my credit reports and protect myself from identity theft. However, Equifax has ignored my concerns and violated my rights. 
On XX/XX/2022, I sent a dispute of inaccurate identification information on my Consumer file with Equifax by certified mail with a return receipt. The tracking number for the certified mail is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Exhibit A ), and the mail was stamped and received by XXXX XXXX, an agent of Equifax. However, Equifax has failed to address my dispute and update my Consumer file, in violation of 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) of the FCRA, which requires consumer reporting agencies to investigate disputes and correct inaccurate or incomplete information. 
In addition, I requested my credit reports from Equifax on XXXX, as per my right under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I disclosed my full social security number and provided multiple choice answers to confirm my identity. However, their site has crashed on multiple occasions, making it difficult for me to access my credit report digitally without ease of use ( Exhibit B attached ). I have contacted Equifax multiple times through multiple sources regarding the status of my credit report request, but have received no satisfactory response. 
Furthermore, Equifax rejected my appropriate identification documents, even though I provided all necessary proof of identity as defined in 1022.123. This is a violation of 610 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ) of the FCRA, which requires consumer reporting agencies to follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy of the information in consumer reports and to provide a process for consumers to dispute inaccurate information. 
Equifax 's failure to comply with these provisions of the FCRA has prevented me from accessing my credit reports and addressing the inaccurate information on my Consumer file, thereby causing me undue financial harm and stress.
