Issue: Improper use of your report — Received unsolicited financial product or insurance offers after opting out
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
have submitted multiple formal dispute letters to Equifax Information Services LLC regarding inaccurate and unverifiable information on my credit report ( see attached copies ). Despite clear legal notice, Equifax Information Services LLC continues to willfully report inaccurate data in violation of FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), 1681i, and FDCPA 1692e and 1692f. I have exhausted all attempts to resolve this matter directly with the credit bureau. I now request the CFPB to investigate and enforce compliance.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
This is my 6th dispute, and I am appalled by the data furnisher and credit bureaus ' blatant disregard for federal consumer protection laws. Under FCRA Section 611 [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ], they are obligated to perform a lawful reinvestigation. However, no original, verifiable documentation has been provided. Instead, Ive received generic templates and unverifiable responseswhich do not constitute proof of accuracy.

The account in question is riddled with Metro 2 violations, including inconsistent date of first delinquency ( DOFD ), incorrect account status codes, and inaccurate reporting of balances. This is a direct violation of Metro 2 Format Requirements as outlined by the Consumer Data Industry Association ( CDIA ), and a failure to comply with FCRA Section 623 obligations to ensure maximum possible accuracy.

Complaint narrative:
Absolute Resolutions Investments , LLC Is trying to collect {$900.00} debt from me that I never had knowledge of. This been going on for on for the past year or longer now. I sent multiple letters but never received proper responses to none of my letters.

However, under 15 U.S. Code 1692g ( b ), once a consumer disputes a debt in writing within the 30-day period, the debt collector must cease all collection activity until proper validation is provided. Simply verifying internally or submitting a generic response does not constitute proper validation. 
Absolute Resolutions Investments , LLC have not provided any of the following, which are required to validate this debt : A copy of the original signed contract A full accounting of the alleged debt Proof that you are legally authorized to collect on this account

Complaint narrative:
A collection account is being reported on my credit file that has not been properly validated. I exercised my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) by requesting validation of the alleged debt. The furnisher failed to provide any legitimate documentation proving that the debt is mine, that the amount is accurate, or that they have the legal authority to collect it. 
Despite the lack of verification, this account continues to appear on my credit report, which constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requiring only accurate and verifiable information to be reported. The continued reporting of an unvalidated account is inaccurate and misleading.

To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file! 

All of the aforementioned accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud. I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be no confusion or stall tactics on your end.

Complaint narrative:
An inaccurate late payment was reported on my credit report by this company. I made the payment on time, and I have documentation supporting this fact. Despite my previous disputes and requests for verification, the company has not corrected the information. This constitutes non-compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ). I am requesting a full reinvestigation and correction of this error without further delay.

This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end.

Complaint narrative:
The reported late payments and charge-off accounts are inaccurate, incomplete, and unverifiable. The furnishers have failed to provide original, documented proof that these alleged delinquencies occurred. Without legally required validation, continued reporting of this negative information is a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). Reporting unverifiable derogatory information damages my credit standing and reflects negligent and unlawful reporting practices.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against Experian for their failure to properly address my dispute regarding inaccurate items on my credit report. 
On XX/XX/year>, I mailed a dispute letter to Experian via USPS certified mail, tracking number # XXXX. In this letter, I detailed all inaccurate items and incorrect personal information listed on my credit report. To aid in verifying my identity and address, I included a copy of my photo ID, social security card, and a recent bank statement with my current address. According to USPS tracking, Experian received the letter on XX/XX/year>. 
Instead of fulfilling its legal obligations, Experian sent me a letter dated XX/XX/year> with the following statement : " We received a recent request regarding your credit information that does not appear to have been sent directly by you or to be authorized by you. As a precautionary measure, we have not taken any action on your alleged request. '' This response is completely unacceptable and appears to be a blatant violation of my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The FCRA clearly requires Experian to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of any disputed items in a consumers file. There is no ambiguity in this requirement ; Experian 's refusal to investigate my dispute, despite receiving sufficient verification documents and a clear request, represents a failure to meet its statutory obligation. I have attached a copy of my dispute letter sent to Experian with all required documents and Experian response to support my claim.
