Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

Despite my persistent efforts to rectify these unauthorized entries, the issue persists, causing severe financial and emotional distress.

Enclosed, please find a detailed timeline of my interactions with your agency, including reference numbers and specifics of each attempt made to address this matter. I request that you thoroughly review this information and take immediate action to rectify the situation. 

The continued presence of these fraudulent items on my credit report is not only affecting my ability to secure credit but also causing considerable stress and anxiety. As a consumer, I expected a more expedited and efficient response from your agency to correct these inaccuracies promptly. 

I urgently request that your agency conducts a thorough investigation into the matter, removes the fraudulent items from my credit file, and provides me with written confirmation of the corrections made. Additionally, I seek clear communication on the progress of the investigation and the steps being taken to resolve this issue. 

If my concerns are not addressed within the specified timeframe from the date of this letter, I will have no choice but to escalate this matter to regulatory authorities and seek legal remedies to protect my rights as a consumer. I am asking for your assistance to remove these fraudulent items in my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

I paid this account off on XX/XX/2023. I checked my credit report a week or so after, and noticed that it was reporting that I owed over {$2000.00}, which was several months out of date, and it was being reported as 60 days late. I assumed a dispute would allow me have this updated quickly. I disputed this account with each of the credit bureaus and each one said the account was verified. They changed the amount owed to just over {$1600.00} and the status of this paid off account was still being reported as 60 days late as of XX/XX/2023. I called the creditor to get them to update the bureaus. They said they had not received any request for an update. It has now been over 45 days since I paid this account off, I have disputed more than once in an attempt to have it updated but it is still reporting this account as 60 days late with a balance owed. This has affected my credit score, and my ability to obtain new auto financing. I need this corrected immediately.
