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

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, California XXXX Date of Birth : XX/XX/XXXX SS # : XXXX Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to file a formal dispute regarding numerous violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and other related laws, which have significantly impacted my financial well-being and peace of mind. I am reaching out to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) in the hope that you will enforce the legal protections afforded to consumers like me. 

These violations have been carried out by multiple creditors and have resulted in severe damage to my credit profile. The consequences have been far-reaching, affecting my ability to secure loans, housing, and even employment opportunities. I understand that the purpose of the FCRA is to ensure fair and accurate credit reporting, and I implore the CFPB to ensure that these laws are enforced to protect individuals like me from unjust treatment. 

The violations I am disputing are as follows : 1. Unauthorized Inquiries : - XXXX XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ) - XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ) - XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ) - XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ) XXXX. Inaccurate Reporting and Unverified Accounts : - XXXX XXXX  ( Account Number : XXXX ) - XXXX ( Account Number : XXXX ) - XXXX  XXXX ( Account Number : XXXX ) - XXXX ( Account XXXX XXXX XXXX ) - XXXX ( Account Number : XXXX ) - XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Account Number : XXXX ) - XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Account Number : XXXX ) Furthermore, incorrect personal information has been reported, including incorrect previous addresses. 

The emotional toll this situation has taken on me can not be overstated. The constant stress and XXXX   of being unfairly judged based on inaccurate and unverified information have caused sleepless nights and a constant feeling of hopelessness. I have even lost out on job opportunities due to the tarnished credit profile that these violations have created. 

I kindly request that the CFPB thoroughly investigate these violations and enforce the necessary actions against the involved creditors. Specifically, I demand that the unverified accounts mentioned above be removed from my credit report as they are damaging my financial credibility without proper validation. 

I am confident in the CFPB 's commitment to consumer protection and fair credit reporting, and I am hopeful that your intervention will provide the justice I deserve. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I have enclosed copies of relevant documentation to support my claims. Please feel free to contact me at [ Your Phone Number ] or [ Your Email Address ] if you require any further information. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Nordstorm store card substantially reduced my available credit from {$10000.00} to {$1000.00}, without any wrongdoing on my part.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (WI)

On XX/XX/2023, I sent out disputes challenging inaccurate information that is illegally reported on my consumer report. Per section 611 ( a ) of the FCRA, CRA 's are supposed to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of any item of information in a consumer 's file if the consumer alleges the item to be inaccurate. Since then, no response has been received. To date, no one has updated my account to reflect the changes and ensure that the reporting is 100 % accurate. The following account is inaccurately reporting on my consumer report and is also in violation of 15 USC 1681i ( c ). I demand that the payment history on this account be updated as XXXX. XXXX Account Number : XXXX is inaccurately reporting an alleged late payment history and has not provided a copy of my entire payment history as requested. This error has damaged my credit score and my rights as a consumer have been violated. A copy of my photo ID and address verification was included with each mailing so there is no reason my request should have been ignored. This needs to be resolved. According to 15 U.S. Code 1666b, A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

The letter indicates that there is a disputed account on my credit report, which I claim was not authorized by me. Despite numerous attempts to resolve the issue by requesting validation of the debt, the company in question has failed to provide any satisfactory evidence of the debt 's legitimacy. I assert that I have no legal obligation to pay the alleged debt and have taken steps to address the matter with both the creditor and the credit bureaus.

The absence of valid evidence corroborating its accuracy and its reporting without substantiated proof contravene the 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). I urge for the swift removal of this account unless sufficient evidence affirming its validity is furnished.
