Complaint narrative:
I am requesting the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) to immediately take enforcement action against Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion for multiple and repeated violations of federal law. I submitted written disputes, identity theft documentation, and supporting materials over 30 days ago ( date of the letter ), and they failed to comply with statutory duties under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and related federal laws. This delay constitutes additional violations.
