Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax regarding their handling of my credit report dispute. My name is XXXX XXXX, and I have been experiencing difficulties with Equifax in resolving inaccuracies on my credit report. 

On XX/XX/year>, I submitted a dispute to Equifax concerning several fraudulent items on my credit report. However, I received a response from Equifax stating that they were unable to locate a credit file in their database with the identification information I provided. Equifax requested additional documents to verify my identity and current address. Despite providing the necessary documents as requested, the issue remains unresolved. 

The documents requested by Equifax were : Identification : A copy of my Social Security Card. 
Current Address : A copy of my Driver 's License. 
I have enclosed these documents with my correspondence to Equifax but have not received a satisfactory resolution to my dispute. The lack of response and resolution from Equifax has caused me significant inconvenience and stress, as the fraudulent items on my credit report continue to affect my financial standing and creditworthiness. 

I kindly request that the CFPB intervene in this matter to ensure that Equifax properly processes my dispute and corrects the inaccuracies on my credit report in a timely manner. I am seeking a prompt and fair resolution to this issue. 

XXXX : Account number : XXXX, This accounts name and number are questionable. I demand this to be removed. 

XXXX XXXXXXXX : Account number : XXXX, This accounts name and number are questionable. I demand this to be removed. 

XXXX XXXX | XX/XX/year> : Account number XXXX XXXX, I have not requested a inquiry for credit from this company. Delete this inquiry immediately. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. Please let me know if there are any additional details or documents required to facilitate this complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

I am distressed that you included the information below in my credit profile, and that you have failed to maintain reasonable procedures in your operations to assure maximum possible accuracy in the credit reports you publish and notifying me of published information as outlined in the FCRA. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information. Every step must be taken to assure the information reported is completely accurate and correct. The following information therefore needs to be re-investigated. I respectfully request to be provided proof of this alleged item, specifically the contract, note or other instrument bearing my signature. Failing that, the item must be deleted from the report as soon as possible : XXXX XXXX XXXX DATE OPEN IN REPORTING INCORRECTLY ; BALANCE IN INFLATED ; PAYMENT HISTORY IS REPORTING INACCURATE.

I am utterly disappointed right now, you complete disregard your own stated timeline. In your memo dated, it's explicitly stated that the results of the investigation would be provided to me within 30 days. That deadline has come and gone without a single word from them regarding the status or findings. 

This lack of follow-through and blatant failure to uphold their commitment is unacceptable. You are the bureau and you have ample time to conduct your work and there is no justified reason for this excessive delay in sharing conclusions. In your memo built an expectation that I relied upon, and your inaction represents a breach of that assurance.

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX Iowa XXXX, Iowa XXXX Subject : Formal Complaint Regarding Identity Theft and Inadequate Resolution of Credit Report Disputes Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint concerning the mishandling of my credit report following identity theft and subsequent disputes, under the purview of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). This complaint is filed under the protections and rights afforded to me by the following federal laws : - 15 U.S. Code 1602 ( p ) Definitions under the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) - 15 U.S. Code 1601 Congressional findings and declaration of purpose - 15 U.S. Code 1692 Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) - 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) Correction of billing errors I have been a victim of identity theft, which has led to unauthorized hard inquiries and the creation of fraudulent accounts on my credit reports maintained by XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX. I have taken the necessary steps to address this issue, including filing a police report and submitting a report to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ). Copies of these reports were sent to the aforementioned credit reporting agencies to notify them of the fraudulent activities affecting my credit files. 

Despite my efforts, including filing numerous disputes and opening several investigations with XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX, the unauthorized accounts and inquiries remain on my credit reports. These inaccuracies are adversely impacting my credit score and, consequently, my financial well-being. 

The persistence of these errors violates my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1692 ) and the Fair Credit Billing Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) ), which mandate the timely correction of billing errors and inaccurate information in consumer reports.

The lack of appropriate action by the credit reporting agencies also undermines the objectives of the Truth in Lending Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1601 and 1602 ( p ) ), which aims to promote informed use of credit and ensure fair and accurate credit billing and reporting practices.

I kindly request the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to intervene in this matter and take the necessary actions to ensure : 1. Immediate removal of all unauthorized hard inquiries and fraudulent accounts from my credit reports.

2. Rectification of any inaccuracies in my credit reports caused by these fraudulent activities.

3. Assurance that the credit reporting agencies comply with the regulations set forth under federal laws to protect consumers from identity theft and credit report inaccuracies.
