Consumer complaint received 2025-01-10 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax due to their failure to investigate and resolve inaccuracies on my credit report. On XX/XX/year>, I mailed a dispute letter to Equifax requesting an investigation into inaccurate items appearing on my credit report. In addition, I disputed incorrect personal information listed in my credit file. To aid in verifying my identity, I included a copy of my photo ID, social security card, and a recent bank statement with my current address. 
Despite my detailed and valid request, Equifax has failed to provide any investigation result. It has now been more than 30 days since my submission, and no communication or resolution has been provided. 
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), if the completeness or accuracy of any item of information in a consumer 's file at a credit bureau is disputed by the consumer, the bureau must conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate. 
Equifaxs inaction and failure to respond to my dispute appear to be a direct violation of this requirement and deny me my consumer rights. 
I am including a copy of my dispute letter sent to Equifax as evidence to support my claim.

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB Representative, I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the inaccurate reporting of multiple charge-offs on my credit reports by various creditors and financial institutions. These inaccuracies, appearing on reports from all three major credit bureaus ( Experian, XXXX, and XXXX ), have caused significant harm to my creditworthiness and financial stability. The continued reporting of these inaccuracies is a violation of Section 1681e ( b ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires credit reporting agencies to follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy of consumer information. 

The following accounts have been inaccurately reported as charge-offs : XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX The charge-offs listed above are inaccurately reported and/or unverifiable. Despite my attempts to dispute these items directly with the credit bureaus and creditors, the errors persist. This failure demonstrates a lack of reasonable procedures to ensure accuracy in compliance with Section 1681e ( b ) of the FCRA. The presence of these charge-offs has negatively affected my credit score, limited my ability to obtain credit or favorable financial terms, and caused undue stress and financial hardship. 

I trust the CFPB will address this complaint promptly and ensure my rights under the FCRA are upheld. 
Please feel free to contact me at XXXX if additional information or documentation is required. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to request assistance with multiple inaccuracies on my credit report that have adversely impacted my credit standing. Despite my efforts to resolve these issues directly with both creditors and credit reporting agencies, I have not received a satisfactory resolution. These inaccuracies include erroneous information regarding account details, duplicated accounts, outdated collection entries, incorrect open or closed account statuses, and unauthorized inquiries, all of which create a misleading portrayal of my creditworthiness. I kindly ask the CFPB to require the involved parties to correct, delete, or update the disputed information on my credit report in line with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), so that my credit report can reflect my accurate financial history. I am attaching supporting documents and I look forward to your assistance in resolving this matter promptly. Thank you for your attention to this request.
