XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX De XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX CFPB ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IA XXXX Subject : Formal Complaint Against Equifax for Non-Compliance with the FCRA Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax for its repeated failure to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by inaccurately reporting a bankruptcy on my credit report. Despite providing certified documentation proving the inaccuracy of this information, Equifax has failed to take appropriate corrective action. The details of my complaint are as follows : Reference Details : Reference Number : XXXX Public Record : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Case Number : XXXX Summary of the Dispute : I, XXXX XXXX XXXX contacted the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX and received certified documentation verifying that the court does not share bankruptcy information with third-party agencies, including Equifax. This documentation, which clearly demonstrates that the information on my credit report is inaccurate, was sent to Equifax via certified mail and was confirmed as received. Despite this, Equifax has continued to report the bankruptcy and has responded to my dispute with the following statement : " EQUIFAX VERIFIED THAT THIS PUBLIC RECORD ITEM IS REPORTING CORRECTLY. EQUIFAX VERIFIED THAT THIS ITEM BELONGS. '' Equifaxs response fails to provide clarity on how they verified the information, particularly given the certified proof I provided that refutes their claim. This raises serious concerns about the validity of their verification process and their compliance with FCRA requirements. 

Impact of Equifaxs Inaccuracy : Equifaxs failure to correct this error has caused significant harm to my financial standing and personal well-being. The ongoing presence of this inaccurate bankruptcy record on my credit report has resulted in : Denials of credit applications Increased borrowing costs Damage to my financial reputation Attempts to Resolve : I have made XXXX formal attempts to resolve this matter directly with Equifax. Each time, I have provided certified documentation from the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, yet Equifax has failed to take appropriate corrective action. 

Request for Assistance : I respectfully request the CFPBs intervention to address Equifaxs non-compliance and ensure they : Provide a detailed explanation of how they verified the bankruptcy information in question. 

Remove the inaccurate bankruptcy information from my credit report. 

Implement measures to prevent similar inaccuracies and verification failures in the future. 

Equifaxs refusal to address this issue despite clear evidence of their error demonstrates a disregard for their obligations under the FCRA. I trust that the CFPB will hold Equifax accountable for its failure to maintain accurate and complete information on consumer credit reports. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I am confident that with your assistance, this issue can be resolved promptly. Please feel free to contact me if you require additional documentation or have any questions. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
