Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, Equifax has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Equifax, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Equifax has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Equifax 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer. 

I am writing to formally dispute multiple inaccuracies on my credit report. I believe these entries have not been properly investigated as required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates credit reporting agencies to conduct a reasonable investigation when a consumer disputes information. 

Below is a list of the items I am disputing : ACCOUNTS XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX I demand that these items be removed immediately unless you can provide clear, verifiable evidence that they were properly investigated and validated in accordance with federal law. Failure to comply with your obligations will be considered a direct violation of the FCRA, which provides consumers the right to accurate credit disputes. 

I demand that these items be removed immediately unless you can provide clear, verifiable evidence that they were properly investigated and validated in accordance with federal law. Failure to comply with your obligations will be considered a direct violation of the FCRA, which provides consumers the right to accurate credit disputes. 

Additionally, please be advised that I am prepared to take further legal action to enforce my rights under the FCRA. This may include filing E complaints with the CFPB, the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and pursuing a lawsuit to seek damages for non-compliance. 

I expect your full cooperation in this matter and require written confirmation of the actions you have taken within 30 days of receipt of this letter. Failure to respond appropriately will leave me with no choice but to escalate this issue further. 
Enclosed, you will find copies of all relevant documentation to support my dispute. If you have any questions.

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
