Complaint narrative:
ESCALATED COMPLAINT - EQUIFAX WILLFUL FCRA VIOLATIONS This is an urgent escalation regarding Equifax 's deliberate violation of federal consumer protection laws. On XX/XX/year>, I submitted a comprehensive identity theft dispute under FCRA 605B with complete required documentation including FTC Identity Theft Report, government identification, address verification, and full credit report. Federal law mandates Equifax block all fraudulent information within four business days upon receiving proper documentation. As of XX/XX/year> - nearly one month later - Equifax has brazenly ignored this non-discretionary legal obligation and continues displaying stolen identity information on my credit file. The fraudulent entries that remain include XXXX XXXX  XXXX account XXXX, XXXX account XXXX, and unauthorized employment references to XXXX  and XXXX  XXXX. This represents willful noncompliance with FCRA 605B which explicitly requires immediate blocking without investigation or verification. Equifax 's deliberate inaction violates 605B blocking mandates, 607 accuracy requirements, and 616 notification obligations. Their conduct demonstrates reckless disregard for federal law and inflicts continued harm on identity theft victims. I demand immediate CFPB enforcement action against Equifax including substantial monetary penalties for willful violations. Additionally, I request regulatory orders compelling Equifax to immediately block all fraudulent entries, provide written confirmation of blocks, furnish updated credit report showing complete removal, and implement enhanced identity theft victim protections. Equifax 's pattern of ignoring federal mandates requires swift regulatory intervention to protect consumers from ongoing illegal practices and ensure compliance with congressional intent behind 605B protections.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
he late payment remark on my credit report is negatively affecting my FICO score, and I am requesting its removal to ensure that my credit profile accurately reflects my financial responsibility. Since payment history makes up approximately 35 % of my FICO score, it plays a critical role in determining my creditworthiness. Even a single late payment can lead to a significant decrease in my score, particularly if I have previously maintained a strong record of timely payments.

This incorrect late payment is unfairly impacting my ability to access financial opportunities, including loan approvals and competitive interest rates. Because lenders and financial institutions heavily rely on FICO scores when assessing risk, this erroneous remark could result in increased borrowing costs or even credit denials.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the legal right to dispute inaccurate or unverified information on my credit report. If this late payment can not be substantiated or is found to be incorrect, it must be removed immediately. Additionally, I am requesting a goodwill adjustment from the creditor, as my history of responsible financial management demonstrates that this late payment does not accurately reflect my reliability.

Furthermore, I have identified other inaccurate personal information on my credit report, which may be contributing to reporting errors.

Complaint narrative:
I previously sent a letter to address the errors and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received a response even after 30 days. It seems like my disputes are being overlooked and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since the deadline has passed, I expect these accounts to be updated without delay. If not, I may have to take legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Moreover, my information was impacted by the Equifax, Experian, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because [ Equifax/Experian/TransUnion ] is inaccurately reporting a dismissed bankruptcy on my credit file and has failed to correct it despite multiple disputes. 
My bankruptcy case, No. XXXX ( XXXX  XXXX ), in the XXXX Bankruptcy XXXX for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, was dismissed with prejudice on XXXX XXXX XXXX as shown in the attached court order. 
Despite this dismissal, the bankruptcy is still being reported in a way that suggests it is active or valid. 
I have disputed this item multiple times and provided the court dismissal order. However, [ Equifax/Experian/TransUnion ] continued to verify the item without providing the method of verification, violating FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 7 ).

Bankruptcy courts do not furnish or verify information to credit reporting agencies, so this reporting is inaccurate and misleading, violating FCRA 1681e ( b ) ( duty to ensure maximum possible accuracy ) and 611 ( duty to reinvestigate ). 
This inaccurate reporting is causing me financial harm, including credit denials and higher interest rates.
