Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
My credit report has certain accounts that I'm not familiar with. Since I never gave them permission, they could be the product of identity theft. Having previously discussed this with you, I'm writing to request that these accounts be promptly deleted from my report in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates that credit bureaus rectify erroneous information on consumer credit reports. These accounts have caused me stress because they are on my report. It's been difficult to deal with the impact because they don't represent my financial responsibility or credit history. I'm ready to take legal action to protect my rights and find a solution under the FCRA if we can't work this out. The inaccurate items that appear on my credit report have been a big obstacle for me. They're getting in the way of my important financial goals, like buying a house and taking care of my family. I hope we can resolve this issue quickly.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a compliant against Experian for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report. Despite my submissions, Experian consistently responds within 24 hours stating the accounts accurate without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation. This practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15. U.S.C, 168i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Experian actions may also contravene the consumer Financial Protection Act, 12 U.S.C. 5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFRB 's recent administrative proceeding ( File No. 2025 XXXX ) against them for similar violations. I request the CFPB take action to ensure Experian complies with the federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation.
