Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report. Despite my submission of clear and compelling evidence demonstrating the inaccuracy or unverifiability of certain accounts, Experian has neither corrected nor removed the disputed items. This failure has resulted in ongoing harm to my credit standing, directly violating my rights as a consumer under federal law. 

Notably, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic failures in its dispute-handling process, including its failure to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, its acceptance of unreliable responses from data furnishers, and its inadequate notification to consumers regarding dispute outcomes. These allegations align with my personal experience, as Experian has disregarded the evidence I provided and failed to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation as required under the FCRA. 

Given these serious legal and regulatory concerns, I am formally requesting immediate corrective action to remove the disputed accounts in compliance with federal law.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX Dispute of Debt and Civil Liability for Negligent Noncompliance Under 15 U.S.C. 1681o To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute the validity of the debts associated with the above-referenced accounts, which your companies have reported and/or attempted to collect. I believe your actions constitute negligent noncompliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 1681o, which establishes civil liability for failing to comply with its provisions.

Basis for Dispute and Noncompliance Allegations : 1. Failure to Verify Debt I previously requested proper validation of these debts, yet your companies have failed to provide sufficient documentation proving their legitimacy.

2. Inaccurate or Misleading Reporting Despite lacking proper validation, your companies have continued reporting these accounts to credit bureaus, causing harm to my credit profile.

3. Failure to Conduct a Reasonable Investigation Upon disputing these debts, I
expected a proper investigation, as required under the FCRA, but no adequate response or corrective action has been taken.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681o, negligent noncompliance with the FCRA makes your companies liable for any damages I have incurred due to these violations, including any legal fees required to rectify this matter. 

Requested Actions : Provide full validation of these debts, including signed agreements, payment histories, and proof of your legal right to collect. 
Cease all collection activities until verification is completed. 
Correct or remove any inaccurate, unverified, or outdated information from my credit reports. 

Failure to comply with these requests may leave me with no choice but to pursue legal remedies to protect my rights under federal law.
