Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Equifax for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report.

Despite my submissions, Equifax consistently responds within 24 hours stating the account is accurate, without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation.

This practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Equifax 's actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C.

5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPB 's recent administrative proceedings against them for similar violations.

I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Equifax complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation.

Company: Conduent Incorporated
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Ordered replacement card XX/XX/year> and paid XXXX to cover expedited shipping. Anticipated having the card by the XXXX due to 2 day turn around with expedited shipping advert. Never received card. Tried calling customer service number for the Way 2 Go Program but never could connect to human agent, contacted NY child support and told to reattempt contact with Way 2 Go. Waiting to update my account to no longer route to Way 2 Go but to my personal checking account through direct deposit. When I attempt to login via app or online website I can't transfer funds to my bank account as I get immediately logged out or it asks me for additional verification by verifying card information. Due to losing the card, I can not verify it. I also can not reorder the card on the app or website as it doesn't let me submit the request. When I call customer service after inputting my social security number for validation as I have no card it gives me the information for my replacement card which is that it's currently being investigated and to reach out to ups.com/claims. 

I can't access child support funds and am meant to access them to help me cover my children 's expenses which is causing undue financial hardship.
