Consumer complaint received 2025-10-30 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing several inaccuracies currently appearing on my credit report, specifically unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate or approve. These entries represent a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly 15 U.S. Code 1681i, which requires a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates that information reported must be accurate to the maximum extent possible. In addition, I am disputing a potentially misreported late payment. According to 15 U.S.C. 1666b, creditors must allow at least 21 days between the statement date and the payment due date before classifying a payment as late. Based on my records, this standard may not have been met, or the payment was submitted on time and inaccurately reported as delinquent.

Complaint narrative:
You have reported inaccurate and unauthorized accounts on my credit report, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) requiring a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates maximum possible accuracy. These false entries are damaging and unjust, especially since Ive never opened or authorized these accounts. If you fail to investigate and correct this, I may pursue legal action under the FCRA and FDCPA ( 15 U.S. Code 1692e ) for deceptive and misleading reporting.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because I disputed inaccurate or incomplete information on my consumer report with a consumer reporting agency. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( Fair Credit Reporting Act 611 ), the agency is required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation, free of charge, within 30 days of receiving my dispute, to determine whether the information is inaccurate. The agency must notify the data furnisher, review and verify the accuracy of the information, and delete or correct it if it can not be verified. The agency must also provide me with written results of the reinvestigation, including a copy of my corrected consumer report, and notify me of my right to add a statement of dispute.

In my case, the agency did not comply with these requirements. It failed to complete a reasonable reinvestigation and/or did not correct or delete unverifiable information within 30 days. I am requesting that the CFPB review this matter and ensure the consumer reporting agency fulfills its obligations under 15 U.S.C. 1681i.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute certain negative entries currently listed on my credit report. Despite multiple requests and the submission of all necessary supporting documents, these inaccuracies have not been properly addressed. My repeated follow-ups have been met with little to no action, and the continued presence of these errors has caused significant financial and emotional stress. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the legal right to an accurate and verifiable credit report. I am requesting that you take immediate and thorough steps to investigate and correct these items. Failure to resolve them in a timely manner would constitute a violation of my rights under federal law.

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a formal written dispute to the credit reporting agency regarding inaccurate and/or unverifiable information appearing on my credit report. According to 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), the credit reporting agency is required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of the disputed items and provide the results within 30 days of receiving the dispute. 

It has been over XXXX  days since my dispute was received, yet the agency failed to provide the required reinvestigation results or any written notice explaining a delay. This constitutes a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i.

Additionally, I have reason to believe my nonpublic personal information was accessed, shared, or used without proper authorization or disclosure, in violation of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( GLBA ), 15 U.S.C. 6802, which governs obligations with respect to the disclosure of personal information. I was not provided with a clear privacy notice, nor given the option to opt out of sharing my data with third parties. This further supports my claim that my consumer rights under federal law have been violated.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this follow-up complaint regarding fraudulent information on my credit report that remains unresolved, despite my previous complaint filed 30 days ago. I am disputing this information pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 and again request that the fraudulent/unauthorized accounts listed below be blocked or removed immediately.

I have attached a copy of my Identity Theft Report issued by the FTC ( FTC REPORT NUMBER : XXXX ) as evidence of my claim. 

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, credit reporting agencies are required to block any information identified by the consumer as fraudulent within four ( 4 ) business days of receiving an identity theft report. However, despite my prior complaint and multiple attempts to resolve this issue directly with EQUIFAX, the following fraudulent accounts remain on my credit report : XXXX - XXXX These accounts are fraudulent and must be blocked immediately. The continued presence of these accounts is severely damaging my creditworthiness and is preventing me from purchasing a home and accessing essential financial services to support my family and economic stability. 

I have requested verification and copies of contracts related to these accounts from the reporting company, but after more than 60 days, I have received no response. Additionally, these accounts have been removed by other credit reporting agencies due to lack of verification, yet EQUIFAX continues to report them as mine without proper validation. 

I respectfully urge the CFPB to intervene and ensure that EQUIFAX complies with federal law by blocking these fraudulent accounts immediately and providing me with confirmationofsuchaction.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year> Received a call from - XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX this person stated he was working on locating me to serve me with paperwork from the county I lived in to take me to court for a debt.

I asked for more details. He provided me with a reference # XXXX  and phone # XXXX ext XXXX to try and discuss what the issue was. I called and was trying to understand what the issue was. I asked for the company name multiple times .. finally got the name XXXX The person named XXXX XXXX was talking extremely fast and stated my account was red flagged due to a debt. Stated it is in the process of being filed by the court and my court fees would be XXXX along with my debt of XXXX and that this would be on my permanent record and would affect things like buying a house or car. 
He asked if I would want to settle outside of court. I of course said yes but im not providing payment over the phone without a break down of my debt and what my payments are going to be along with everything we discussed today because I was still very confused. 
He could not provide that for me. He said the only thing the company will give me is reference # each time a payment is made and once its paid off Ill receive a dismissal for court. I felt very uneasy and that this is very scam like.

Complaint narrative:
Navy Federal Credit Union fraudulently raised my monthly credit card payment which has been consistently around {$200.00} for the past two years without any missed payment. When I paid the usually amount ( unaware of the increase ) they reported me as being 30 days late to credit agencies during a government shutdown when I was laid off from my job and refused to work with me.

Company: Sunbit, Inc.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
Im submitting this complaint regarding an unresolved credit dispute I filed with XXXX  on XX/XX/year> concerning a Sunbit/XXXX XXXX  account that was inaccurately reported on my credit report.

XXXX  received my mailed dispute over 30 days ago and has failed to provide any written response or update on the investigation, which violates my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to complete investigations within 30 days of receiving a dispute. The account in question is a
Sunbit/XXXX XXXX loan account that had a balance of {$580.00}, which Ive since then paid in full. I provided supporting documentation in my mailed dispute proving the account was paid and should be deleted entirely from all credit bureaus. To date, XXXX  continues to report the account as Paid, Closed; was Paid as agreed, and has not removed it or provided any results of the investigation.

Im requesting immediate removal of this Sunbit/XXXX XXXX  account and its related inquiry from my XXXX credit report, and confirmation that the matter has been fully resolved. Since the account was opened under misleading terms and I have fully satisfied the balance, both the account and its related inquiry should be permanently deleted from my credit file. Additionally Im also requesting that the CFPB ensure XXXX  complies with the 30-day requirement, and provides me written confirmation of the dispute results as required by law.
