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: OH

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern : I am submitting this complaint regarding Equifax 's failure to properly investigate my consumer report dispute, in direct violation of their obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). On XX/XX/year>, I filed a formal dispute with Equifax to correct fraudulent and inaccurate information appearing on my consumer report. Instead of conducting a proper investigation, Equifax responded with a stall letter that neither addressed my dispute nor took steps to resolve the inaccuracies. 

I am aware that the CFPB has recently filed a lawsuit against Equifax for these very same practices namely, their systemic failure to properly investigate consumer disputes. I am a direct victim of this misconduct. 

As a XXXX veteran who suffers from XXXX, this experience has been extremely stressful and emotionally triggering. I am currently in the process of closing on a mortgage, and I am under strict time constraints with only one week remaining to finalize my home purchase. Equifaxs refusal to lawfully process my dispute is putting my homeownership at serious risk, compounding my stress and potentially causing irreparable harm to my financial future. 

I respectfully request that the CFPB take immediate action to ensure Equifax fully complies with the FCRA, properly investigates my dispute without further delay, and removes the fraudulent and inaccurate items from my consumer report. I also request that Equifax be held accountable for the injury and distress they have caused. 

I am attaching supporting documents, including copies of my dispute submission and Equifaxs stall letter, should you require further evidence of their noncompliance. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this urgent matter.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against the credit reporting agencies for continuing to report inaccurate and outdated information on my credit report, specifically in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), which prohibits the inclusion of certain medical debts under specific conditions. 
Disputed Entries : 1. XXXX Account # : XXXX XXXX : Paid in full This account is a medical debt that has been paid off in full, yet it continues to appear on my credit report as a negative item. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, paid or settled medical debts should no longer be included in a consumer report. 

2. SYNCB/Care Credit Account # : XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/year> Amount : {$7200.00} This appears to be a medical-related credit account. If this account contains medical debt that is either paid, settled, or older than 180 days, it should not be reported under the FCRA. I request a review to determine if it violates 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2. 
These items are negatively impacting my credit. I request that the CFPB ensure these are reviewed and, if found in violation, please be removed from my report.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

I am filing a complaint against Cash App ( Block Inc ) due to inadequate customer service and unfair practices, which violates the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ). Specifically, Cash App failed to take timely and effective measures to prevent and address fraud on their platform, leaving my account vulnerable and unprotected.

Complaint narrative:
MIDLAND CREDIT MANAGEMENT has violated my rights as a consumer and failed to properly investigate the inaccurate and incomplete information I disputed and they continued to collect on the debt while it was in dispute. They have violated 15 usc 1681s-2b for failure to conduct a proper investigation and considering all relevant information regarding the dispute. If this is not removed from my credit report I plan on taking them to arbitration using the original creditors agreement since I have the right to do so. Not only have they failed to conduct a proper investigation. They have also lied about who actually owns the debt. See these debts have been securitized by XXXX and were sold to a trust for a pool of investors. Although XXXX is acting as a service officer they illegally sold the debt to MIDLAND CREDIT MANAGEMENT I demand to see the chain of assignment and purchase agreement to see who really sold the debt to MIDLAND CREDIT MANAGEMENT. If MIDLAND CREDIT MANAGEMENT does not legally own the debt then this is a violation of 15 usc 1692e.

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB Representative, I am submitting this formal complaint against TransUnion and Equifax for their failure to acknowledge provided evidence, validate disputed information, or remove inaccurate accounts from my credit file as required by federal law. 

I recently submitted documented proof to both TransUnion and Equifax showing that the collection accounts in question were already deleted by another credit reporting agency. Despite this clear and verifiable documentation : Neither bureau acknowledged receipt of my evidence, They did not provide any validation or reinvestigation results as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ), and They continue to report the collections without justification or legal basis. 

This is a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates that credit reporting agencies must conduct a reasonable investigation when a consumer disputes an account and provide written notice of the results. Furthermore, 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) requires these agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy, which they have clearly failed to do. 

I am requesting that the CFPB initiate an investigation into these violations and ensure TransUnion and Equifax are held accountable. The continued reporting of inaccurate and unverified information is causing unjustified harm to my creditworthiness and reputation. 

Attached are the following : Proof of deletion from the original bureau ( e.g., XXXX XXXX
