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: TX

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year> Subject : Formal Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Reporting Dear CFPB, I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding your failure to correct inaccurate information on my credit report for my account with XXXX, Account Number XXXX. Despite multiple written requests for correction, dated ( XX/XX/year> ), my requests have been consistently disregarded. This failure constitutes violations of both the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). 
FCRA Violations : Under 15 U.S. Code 1666b, creditors are required to send periodic statements at least 21 days before the payment due date. The inaccurate late payment reporting on my account indicates a failure to meet this legal requirement. Additionally, 15 U.S. Code 1681i mandates that credit reporting agencies verify the accuracy of information in consumer files, which has not been adhered to in this case. The discrepancies in my credit report remain unresolved, showing negligence on the part of Equifax to ensure accuracy as mandated. 
TILA Violations : The Truth in Lending Act emphasizes the requirement for accurate and timely disclosures to consumers. Due to the inaccurate reporting of a late payment, my creditworthiness has been adversely impacted, affecting my financial stability. 
Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ) : The XXXX underscores the duty of creditors to provide timely statements, which would prevent unfair penalties, such as this late payment reporting, that harm consumers without due cause. 
The following discrepancies were noted on my credit report across all three major credit bureaus : XXXX : XXXX marked as 30 days late, although previous payments were timely. 
XXXX : Similarly, XXXX indicates a XXXX late status despite consistent timely payments. 
Equifax : XXXX a XXXX late entry in XXXX as well, contradicting previous payments made on time. 
Nothing has changed despite XXXX previous disputes with Equifax and the original creditor, and this continued misreporting has led to unnecessary harm to my credit score and financial reliability. 
Desired Resolution : I request the immediate removal of the inaccurate late payment notation from my credit report. Additionally, please provide written confirmation of this correction. Failure to address this matter promptly XXXX result in further escalation, including potential legal action and the filing of additional complaints with relevant regulatory bodies. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that you will give this issue the urgency it requires. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I recently conducted a review of my credit report and found several items that have caused me significant distress. These items appear to be unverifiable, inaccurate, and questionable. Your agency has failed to ensure the accuracy of the information as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of Reports. This statute mandates that consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information, you are required to promptly delete or modify any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable during a reinvestigation. If you are unable to provide me with verifiable proof of the accuracy of the disputed items within 15 days of your investigation, these accounts and the related information must be removed from my credit report.

Additionally, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I do not recognize any of the alleged creditors or debt collectors. I have never entered into a valid contract with any of these entities, nor have I engaged in any transactions with them. As such, these accounts are fraudulent and may be the result of identity theft or other illegal activities. Attempting to enforce these fraudulent accounts is unlawful. I request that you expedite your investigation to prevent further harm, losses, or damages that I may suffer as a victim of identity theft.

Moreover, under the Fair Credit Billing Act, my right to privacy has been violated, and this breach infringes upon my rights as outlined in The Privacy Act of 1974. Removing the inaccurate and fraudulent information from my credit report will help restore my privacy and prevent further violations.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> XXXX Bank ran a hard credit inquiry on my Equifax account because someone fraudulently tried to open a XXXX 's credit card using my SSN and DOB. The credit application was never approved by XXXX because the fraudulent party trying to open the account did not have my correct address. I have contacted XXXX multiple times since XX/XX/year> to request they remove the hard inquiry from my Equifax account, and every single time XXXX has informed me that they have made multiple communications to Equifax telling them to remove the hard inquiry since I never attempted to open an account with XXXX 's XXXX Despite multiple communications from XXXX and from me regarding this matter, Equifax refuses to remove the hard inquiry from my account. It is adversely affecting my credit score, and Equifax is well aware this was a fraudulent hard inquiry and not the result of any credit application that I submitted. I want this hard inquiry removed from my Equifax account and am pursuing all means to force Equifax to do so.
