Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

CFPB you are responsible for investigating this company. I am not going to stop going after EQUIFAX until this is resolved. MY NEXT STEP IS LAWSUIT. This company still isn't reporting anything accurately. It's unlawful to project their legal obligations onto another company/entity. I have provided sufficient proof in my disputes. They willfully choose to ignore the laws and their responsibility to the laws that govern their business. My credit score is 60-100 pts lower than it actually should be due to their negligence. The still haven't resolved a single thing, and are simply responding. Their investigation is closed and nothing was resolved. I have sufficient proof to their negligence and will now have to sue for a response.

EQUIFAX DID NOT DO WHAT THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO WITH MY COMPLAINT- STILL ILLEGALLY REPORTING ADDITIONAL COMMENTS THEY DID NOT INVESTIGATE ANYTHING, I HAVE PROVIDED MY PROOF AND ASKED FOR THEIRS, THEY REFUSE TO ESTABLISH THEIR PROOF OF VERIFICATION FOR THE ERRORS. BECAUSE IF THEY ACTUALLY INVESTIGATED THEY WOULD SEE THEIR OWN ERROR AND NOT BE REPORTING THE WAY THEY ARE. 



XXXX-To date this year 2021 I have sent 6 formal and detailed disputes with Equifax via mail regarding 13 different inaccuracies and wrongful reporting. Additionally I have tried to dispute online but with difficulty and no resolution. I've logged over 19 hours on the phone with this company in an effort to resolve. The agents like clock work will look for a reason not to talk to you, will drop the call and put you on lengthy holds before ending the call. There's no reasonable effort at all made by Equifax to speak to a consumer. My credit file is also a SPLIT FILE, and they will not resolve this. Because my file is split I have extraordinary challenges to speak to someone and I am always given scripted responses vs any resolution. I have requested their executive team and have been denied access. I have requested supervisor attention as nearly every single tradeline reporting is inaccurate. I have gotten no help at all from Equifax. I have been grossly ignored. Despite more than 150 pages of documentation sent since XXXX this year. Equifax has not responded to these several notices of inaccuracies under the FCRA to the disputes sent to them and has given me above normal challenges in getting the information corrected. These egregious errors cause significant hardships in obtaining credit and I seek help from my state and federal offices in enforcing the laws that Equifax continues to ignore. I am also a victim of their fraud and data breach so you would think this would be a motivating factor for them. Equifax seems to be given excessive privileges in facing corporate America and is abusive without limitations in practice to the consumer. I seek urgent remedy and support from my state and federal government in facing this giant as they have ignored my reasonable efforts.
