Consumer complaint received 2023-01-23
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

I am writing to dispute the inaccuracies and errors on my credit report as reported by the three credit reporting agencies ( CRA 's ) : XXXX XXXX Equifax. I have filed multiple disputes about my credit report with the CRA 's over the last 90 days, and several in the beginning of 2022, but none of the inaccurate and erroneous information has been removed from my report. Furthermore, I believe that the CRA 's did not conduct a proper investigation under the US Code definition. 

XXXX removed the information. 

This adverse reporting has financially paralyzed me from the ability to acquire reasonable financing for a home and business. It is negatively affecting my family and I, and has had a detrimental affect on my mental health. 

The CRA 's have violated and continue to violate several consumer protection and privacy laws governed by the FCRA, FDCPA, and Truth in Lending Act. Furthermore, the accounts listed below are currently violating my privacy rights, the right to a proper investigation ( by US code definition ), and continue to report inaccurate and unverifiable information. I have listed the inaccurate account and FCRA US codes below : Account : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 15 US.C 1681 section 602 A. States I have the right to privacy.
