Complaint narrative:
I am rewriting to formally address multiple unresolved issues with the information on my credit report, despite previous communications and disputes I filed regarding inaccuracies. I initially reached out to EQUIFAX to correct discrepancies in my credit report, including errors with the dates of last payments, dates accounts were opened, payment history, and account status. After providing you with supporting documentation, I was assured that an exhaustive examination had been conducted. However, as of today, my credit report remains unchanged, and the errors I reported are still present. Furthermore, I have noticed that negative actions have been taken on my credit report, despite the unresolved inaccuracies. My full name is XXXX XXXX XXXX, and my address XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IL XXXX. My date of birth is XXXX.As a consumer, I have the right to dispute inaccurate or incomplete information on my credit report under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), EQUIFAX is required to maintain reasonable procedures to ensure the accuracy of the information provided. Since I submitted clear evidence of inaccuracies, your failure to correct these errors constitutes a violation of this requirement. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i, when a consumer disputes information on their report, EQUIFAX must investigate the dispute within 30 days. It has been over 30 days since I filed my dispute, and I have not received any update or resolution. This delay in investigation and failure to provide a clear response is a violation of my rights. Additionally, under 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ), my right to privacy is protected, and under 15 U.S.C. 1681b, a consumer report can not be furnished without my written consent unless specific exceptions apply. If any information from my credit report has been accessed or shared with third parties without my explicit consent, this would also constitute a violation. I ask that you confirm whether my written consent was obtained for any recent report disclosures. As part of my efforts to resolve this matter, I filed a formal complaint with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) under report number XXXX. I trust that EQUIFAX will cooperate with the FTC in addressing these issues, as required by law. To resolve this matter promptly, I request that you conduct a thorough reinvestigation of my credit report, specifically addressing the inaccuracies in the dates of last payments, dates accounts were opened, payment history, and account status. I also request that any erroneous information be corrected or removed immediately. Furthermore, I ask for a detailed written response outlining the steps taken to correct these inaccuracies and actions taken to ensure compliance with the FCRA. If these issues are not resolved within 30 days, I will be forced to consider further legal action, including seeking damages for violations of the FCRA. I expect your prompt attention to this matter and a resolution within the legally required 30- day timeframe.

Company response to consumer: Closed with non-monetary relief
