Consumer complaint received 2025-07-15 00:00:00
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: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Im submitting this complaint as my Third Notice regarding the unauthorized and unlawful reporting of a XXXX XXXX  XXXX account # XXXX on my Equifax credit file. Despite multiple disputes, Equifax continues to report this account, even though both TransUnion and Experian have already deleted it after reviewing my documentation and recognizing it was reported without my consent. I never opened this account, never authorized it, and never permitted it to appear on my report. Its continued presence is unjustified and illegal. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681b, a consumer reporting agency must have a valid permissible purpose to include any item on a report. Equifax has failed to demonstrate any such purpose. This account may be tied to identity theft, which Ive documented with an FTC Identity Theft Report and other supporting evidence. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I have the right to block any information resulting from identity theft, and Equifax is unlawfully refusing to do so. Equifax is also violating 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) by failing to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of consumer information and 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) by failing to conduct a proper reinvestigation as required under the FCRA. Even worse, this account appears to have been reinserted without the required 5-day written notice, which is a direct violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ). Equifax has already removed the other disputed accounts from my credit file, yet continues to report XXXX XXXX  XXXX without providing any valid justification. This selective inaction constitutes willful and negligent noncompliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act under 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o, each carrying civil liability of {$1000.00} per violation. I am now issuing a final demand : Equifax must permanently delete the XXXX XXXX  XXXX account from my credit file, cease any future reinsertions of this unauthorized account, and provide written confirmation of its deletion within 14 days of receiving this notice.

Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

Complaint narrative:
Im reaching out to dispute an account thats currently showing on my credit report. I need you to certify, with full accuracy and confidence, that every single piece of data tied to this account actually belongs to me including but not limited to the account number, payment history, balances, dates, and all identifying details. 

If you can not fully verify and certify that this account and all of the information attached to it is 100 % accurate and legitimately tied to me, then you are obligated to delete the entire account from my credit report immediately. 

Let me be very clear : Im not asking whether the account looks familiar. I am demanding that you confirm that each data point reported under my name is accurate, verifiable, and truly mine. If theres even a shred of uncertainty, or if you can not produce the necessary records to validate this account as mine, it does not belong on my credit report and keeping it there would be a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Complaint narrative:
Im disputing a collection account related to a former apartment I lived in at XXXX, GA. I resided there from XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX, during the XXXX pandemic. 

I was enrolled in a rent assistance program due to financial hardship and was approximately {$9000.00} behind on rent. The XXXX XXXXXXXX, told me that they would work with me as long as I could verify that rental assistance funds were coming. Despite this, the apartment management ignored calls and messages from the XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. 

Eventually, the rent assistance check was issued and paid to them in full. However, the property still charged me rent for a time period when I was no longer living in the unit. I moved out XXXX days after a court-issued XXXX notice, before the sheriff could carry out the eviction. When the sheriff came to the property, they canceled the deposition and wrote Canceled across the paperwork because I was already gone. 

I even provided proof of paying rent to my mother the same week I moved into her home. Despite all this documentation, the collection agency continues to report a {$1600.00} balance that I do not legally or ethically owe. 

I have disputed this debt with the collection agency and credit bureaus, and submitted proof, but it remains on my credit. I am asking for the CFPB to investigate this collection and the actions of the property management, which may be violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and Fair Credit Reporting Act.
