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: GA

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am filing a formal dispute regarding Equifaxs mishandling of my prior disputes and their failure to comply with the requirements of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ). The CFPB 's recent lawsuit highlights systemic issues with Equifaxs handling of consumer disputes, which are directly relevant to my experience. 
I previously disputed the following information on my Equifax 's credit report : XXXX XXXX  ACCOUNT NUMBER XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account number XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX account number XXXX Despite submitting evidence to support my dispute, Equifax failed to conduct a proper investigation. Specifically : 1. Sham Investigations : Equifax failed to convey the full details and supporting documentation of my dispute to the data furnisher. Instead, they appear to have accepted the furnishers response without question, even though it contradicted the evidence I provided.

2. Failure to Provide Investigation Results : The response I received from Equifax vague, confusing, and did not provide specific details of their investigation or evidence supporting their decision.

Potential Improper Reinsertion of Inaccurate Information : I am concern Equifax may have improperly reinserted information I previously disputed and believed to be corrected.

Equifaxs actions appear to violate the following : FCRA 1681i ( a ) : Failure to conduct reasonable investigations of disputed information.

FCRA 1681i ( 5 ) ( B ) : Improper reinsertion of previously deleted information without proper notice.

CFPA Prohibitions : Engaging in unfair acts or practices by failing to ensure accurate investigations and providing misleading or ambiguous responses to consumers.

1. Reinvestigate the Disputed Information : Conduct a proper and thorough investigation of the disputed account and provide detailed results of your findings.

2. Remove Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information : If Equifax the furnisher can not verify the disputed account with evidence, delete it from my credit report immediately.

3. Provide Investigation Details : Share all documentation you used to verify the disputed account, including records from the data furnisher.

4. Ensure Compliance with the Law : Prevent improper reinsertion of any previously disputed or deleted information.

If Equifax can not provide adequate documentation or results of a legitimate investigation, I will escalate this matter further by filing complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and considering legal action under the FCRA and CFPA.

I look forward to receiving a response within 30 days, as required under the FCRA.

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I opened a bank account with Citibank on XX/XX/year>. As of today, XX/XX/XXXX, it has barely been a month, yet I have experienced repeated misinformation and deceptive practices from both agents and supervisors. I have been told multiple times that I would have access to my funds, only to later be informed that I would need to wait an additional two weeks. Each time I request confirmation, the timeline changes, and I am repeatedly told that this is policy. 

I feel that I have been deliberately misled and subjected to extremely poor service. Furthermore, I am unable to close my account because of pending funds, and I have no idea how long the bank will delay the process. Given the repeated dishonesty and lack of transparency, I do not feel safe keeping my money in this account. 

Additionally, I have been falsely assured that my case has been escalated, yet no supervisor has ever contacted me, despite repeated promises. The level of incompetence and lack of accountability within Citibank is alarming, especially for an institution entrusted with managing customers finances. 

I strongly believe Citibanks actions may constitute violations of federal banking regulations, including those enforced by the FDIC, particularly regarding deceptive or unfair banking practices under Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act ( 15 U.S.C. 45 ) and potential violations of the Truth in Savings Act ( Regulation DD, 12 CFR Part 1030 ) due to inconsistent disclosures about account terms. Furthermore, if my funds are being withheld without valid justification, this could raise concerns under Regulation CC ( 12 CFR Part 229 ), which governs the availability of funds and holds on deposits.

Given the severity of these issues, I demand immediate resolution. If my concerns are not addressed promptly, This situation is unacceptable. I regret ever opening an account here, and I expect immediate corrective action.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Old information reappears or never goes away
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
So for starters, I have numerous reports on my credit that does not belong to me on my hard inquiries, and my derogatory marks for the Credit Report companies Equifax & XXXX. Some of them are as old as 2022, which means the normal two years that has passed by that usually leads to a change in your credit report has not happened since the two years of the original date for some of them has passed. I have done dispute reports for mostly all of them and yet nothing has changed at all. One of the other problems is me and my father has the same name, so theres a very high possibility that these credit reports that are being put on my credit most likely belong to him and are affecting me. My credit score should be way higher than what it is. Ive had to build my credit score up to a fair score while having these unnecessary and mistakes of file reports on my credit score over the years. This is not fair at all, and I truly believe I deserve these to be removed from my credit report and to be compensated for the unsettling results of a company that could not comply with their customers over all these years.
