Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

I sent a dispute to the major credit bureaus disputing the inaccurate information on my credit report regarding XXXX credit card, account number XXXX. 

Despite the clarity and detail provided in the Credit Bureau Dispute, the Account continued to appear on my consumer report with inaccurate information.

Upon information and belief, the credit bureaus forwarded my Dispute to XXXX. 

Upon information and belief, XXXX received notification of my credit bureau dispute. 

XXXX did not conduct an investigation, contact myself, contact thirdparties, or review underlying Account information with respect to the disputed information and the accuracy of the XXXX Account. 

Upon information and belief, XXXX failed to instruct the credit bureaus to remove the false information regarding the XXXX Account reporting on my consumer report. 

The credit bureaus did not conduct an investigation, contact myself, contact third parties, or review underlying account information with respect to the disputed information and the accuracy of the XXXX XXXX Account. 

The credit bureaus employed an investigation process that was not reasonable and did not remove the false information regarding the Account identified in my Dispute.

At no point after receiving the Credit Bureau Disputes did XXXX and/or the credit bureaus communicate with me to determine the veracity and extent of my disputes.

The credit bureaus relied on its own judgment and the information provided to them by Barlcays rather than grant credence to the information provided by myself.

The credit bureaus published the false information regarding the XXXX Accounts to third parties.

Please find the ATTACHED documents to assist in the blocking of the erroneous information which is being posted to my report. I've talked to the bank & they've agreed to remove the accounts. BUT TransUnion has some internal block which they're claiming they can use to not block the account because they feel they're above the law. When questioned why they're not accepting the Identity Theft report they claim they have an internal policy ( which is OUTSIDE FCRA laws ) & they're unwilling to explain why they won't accept the Identity Theft report ( which is a FEDERAL LAW ). So TransUnion feels they're above the letter of the law & will not explain their policy... Here is the list of account/item which do not belong to me or were opened without my permission.

I just received a new social security number and I checked into my credit to try to make sure I was being safe with my scores and being on top of them. 

I have XXXX credit card with a {$200.00} line of credit. That I use for cash and groceries. My credit score started at over XXXX and within 5 months of not using anything, the credit has dropped down to XXXX points. Which is below any related needs for any loans, mortgages, employment-based background checks etc. 

This is beyond appalling that even a NEW social security number and NEW credit score is subjected to this type of specif algorithm attack to make it so that I can not do anything within the country without this score being at least XXXX point.s This is absolutely uncalled for and there is no reason why NO ONE from Experian can explain to me how this system works or why my credit score is going DOWN even when I'm making my payments on time for XXXX credit card. 

They told me to gain a credit history. Well, news flash, I can't even get any loans now because of this nonsense. Even with my income or my husband 's income on the applications, I am going to be denied. Each hard-hit inquiry will only lower the points further. This credit system has created a Catch-22 system where I'm supported to get history, but can't because my starting score is just going down from nonuse.

Despite the multiple Dispute letters and CFPB Complains I have been submitting to the Credit Reporting agencies, the Credit Bureaus have been consistent with their negligence and have kept ignoring my requests. How many times do I have to tell the Credit Reporting agencies that I have been a vicitm of Identity theft and I never made the charges nor authorized anyone about these fraudulent accounts. My information has been exposed in the XXXX data breach. The following accounts are not affiliated with me nor received any money, goods, or services as a result of identity theft or they authorized by me and I would like them to remove from any affiliation with me immediately. The Credit reporting agencies are required to remove the disputed accounts and information from my Credit File under the Fair Credit Reporting Act section 605b, however, the Credit Bureaus have been claiming that the disputed accounts belong to me without sending me copies of proof of verification. This is a clear violation of a consumer 's rights Under the Federal Regulation FCRA section 605b. I recently sent a letter to the Credit reporting agencies last XX/XX/XXXX, with complete attachments of my personal information as well as the ID THEFT REPORT I received from the FTC. I am expecting that the Credit Bureaus will have the disputed accounts deleted from my Credit File within the time allowed by the Federal law. Once again, I am requesting the immediate removal of the following accounts completely from my Credit File : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance : {$0.00} Date Opened : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance : {$7500.00} Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX

I entered into a COVID-19 forbearance agreement with my lender ( XXXX XXXX ) due to hardship experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic. I lost my job due to COVID-19 and could not afford to make payments at that time. I asked my lender repeatedly if this will have a negative affect on my credit score and they repeatedly said NO. At the end of my forbearance period, I made a FULL payment towards the loan and a few months later I sold the house and paid the mortgage in FULL. Now I am learning that the mortgage company lied to me and they DID in fact report all missed payment on my credit report. That was NOT what we agreed to at the time. I have tried to contact them but they are being unresponsive. 

Attached is a letter I received showing that the mortgage has been paid off in full. 

XXXX XXXX lied to me and this negatively affected my credit score.

Upon receiving my credit report, I noticed some accounts that I didn't recognize. I immediately reached out to law enforcement and made a police report that's on file. These police reports have been mailed to the companies indicating that I am a victim of fraud and that the alleged account does not belong to me. The accounts are not mines and I totally dispute them. I have requested several times for the company to validate the debt and prove that I am indeed the correct person that opened and owes the debt. These letters were sent via USPS to the company ; I have not received anything that VALIDATES the debt as of today. I know my rights, and this is a direct violation of the FDCPA Guidelines. I want the items validated or removed immediately as this is causing me distress and it is interfering with my life goals to obtain a home for my daughter and I. Before contacting an attorney for legal advice, I wanted to contact your agency for guidance.
