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 the following negative items on my credit report. 
Despite multiple attempts to have these inaccuracies properly investigated and resolved, no meaningful action has been taken. I have submitted all required documentation and followed up repeatedly, yet the errors persist. This ongoing lack of action has caused undue financial hardship and has significantly affected my well-being. The mental and emotional toll of dealing with these unresolved discrepancies has been overwhelming. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a fair and accurate credit report, including the removal of unverifiable or incorrect information. I urge you to take immediate steps to verify and rectify these items, as failure to do so constitutes a violation of my rights under federal law.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I previously filed a complaint against Equifax because I could not access my free annual credit report via XXXX. Equifax responded stating they could not locate a credit file for me and demanded that I mail physical copies of my identification and proof of address. 

However, this is false. Equifax has previously located my file to respond to disputes I submitted through their online system. They have mailed me investigation results and responsesproving they have my credit file and can verify my identity. 

Equifaxs claim that they can not locate my file is inconsistent and obstructive. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ), I am entitled to a free copy of my credit report annually, and Equifax is imposing unreasonable barriers to prevent access to that legal right. 

I request that the CFPB investigate Equifax 's practices and require them to provide me immediate access to my credit file, without further unnecessary documentation, since they already have verified my identity through prior dispute processes. This appears to be a pattern of noncompliance that harms consumers.
