Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

There are several errors, including the balance due, and date account was opened. Because of this, I have requested a proof of Debt on XXXX separate occasions. XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. The first and second time it was over the phone, and the 3rd time I called to ask where it was, and why I had not received it. I got up to the manager who said she was not sure why I had not received the proof of debt requested. She seemed very confused, and stated that she had requested it for me the last we spoke. She said she could request another, but because I had already been thru that twice before, I asked if there was any way that I could speak to the department responsible for sending them out. So, after 19:47min on hold ( literally ) she comes back with an email. So I disconnect the call, and send them an email requesting, for the 3rd time, the proof of debt. They respond, saying that they had not sent it to me because in order to receive a proof of debt, I was required to MAIL them a copy of my drivers license, and only then would they send it. Now, keep in mind, this was not what they told me the 1st 2 times that I called. During those conversations, the employees ASSURED me that I would be receiving the documents requested within 14 business days. So, I really believe they are making it impossible for me to receive this proof of debt. I have an email where I asked them " Are you now stating that you will not be sending me a proof of debt if I do not mail you a paper copy of my drivers license? '' and they refused to answer the question. Again, I spoke to several people before this particular interaction, and they assured me that they would be sending me the proof of debt. Now, they're spinning me in circles so that I will just give up, and they wont have to send it. This account needs to be removed from my record because I have requested the proof of debt on several occasions, and they still have not sent it to me.

I am rejecting this response because : The Credit Bureau recent response to my complaint regarding inaccuracies on my credit report.

Despite my numerous attempts to dispute these erroneous accounts and rectify the situation, TransUnion has failed to adequately address and resolve the issues at hand.

Over the past several months, I have repeatedly contacted The Credit Bureau, providing detailed information and supporting documentation to demonstrate the inaccuracies present in my credit report. Unfortunately, each attempt has been met with insufficient action and a lack of proper investigation into the matters I raised. This ongoing negligence has caused significant harm to my creditworthiness and has had adverse effects on my financial well-being.

I am now seeking the intervention and assistance of the CFPB to help resolve these persistent issues. The Credit Bureau failure to correct these inaccuracies and conduct a thorough investigation is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Specifically, they have breached my consumer rights to a fair and accurate credit report by not fulfilling their obligation to investigate disputes properly and correct any errors.

The FCRA mandates that credit reporting agencies must investigate disputed information and make corrections if inaccuracies are found.

The Credit Bureau continuous disregard for this responsibility has not only violated my rights but has also perpetuated the damages being done to me as a consumer.

I trust that the CFPB will take appropriate action to ensure that The Credit Bureau adheres to the FCRAs requirements and conducts a comprehensive review of my disputes. I am seeking a resolution that includes the correction of all inaccuracies on my credit report and a guarantee that my consumer rights will be respected moving forward.

To Whom It May Concern, I understand the Fair Credit Reporting Act entitles me to challenge any erroneous information in my credit report. As a responsible consumer, I take this matter seriously.
