Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
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: CA

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 proceeding the account is accurate, without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation.

5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPB 's recent administrative proceeding ( File No. XXXX ) 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.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: Central Research Inc
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
XXXX let me know on XX/XX/XXXX they were transferring my student loans to CRI and that CRI would reach out. CRI never reached out, and I had a loan payment on XX/XX/XXXX and could not access my account as my loans did not move over until after that date. I was the one who set up my own account by calling them multiple times since I needed to make my payment. They told me my loans were paused and I didn't need to worry. Now CRI is telling me I missed a loan payment, which is a lie since all of their information is incorrect/inconsistent. " Due to your loan status ( for example, your loan recently transferred to CRI, or you haven't entered repayment ), your payment schedule has not yet been generated. '' - this is what it says on their website when I go to payment schedule. If they have recently been transferred, why am I still being charged interest and why am I being notified that I was the one who missed a payment?!?! Absolutely ridiculous. I want it in writing that I do not owe any interest, late, and/or penalty fees while these loans continue move over. This has made me feel extremely uneasy and I do not trust whoever is working on this. I want this documented that I reported this, and I will be taking further action if this continues.

Complaint narrative:
Experian 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 Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer- provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcome. These failures align with my experience, where expertise 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 Experians inaction violates federal law and my right as a consumer.

Complaint narrative:
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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.
