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: NY

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Complaint Regarding Credit Bureau Violation of XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX on Medical Debt Reporting To Whom It May Concern, I am filing this complaint against Experian, Equifax and Transunion for their failure to comply with XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX, signed into law by the Governor of XXXX XXXX This law explicitly prohibits credit bureaus from including medical debt on credit reports for XXXX XXXX residents. Despite this clear legal mandate, XXXX has improperly included medical debt in my credit report, negatively impacting my credit standing. 

I have attempted to resolve this issue by disputing the inaccurate reporting directly with Experian, Equifax and Transunion, but they have failed to remove the medical debt from my report as required by Senate Bill S4907A. This constitutes a clear violation of my consumer rights under New York XXXX law. 

I request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) investigate this matter and take the necessary steps to ensure that Transunion, Experian and Equifax complies with Senate Bill S4907A by promptly removing all medical debt from my credit report. Additionally, I seek confirmation that my rights under this law will be upheld in the future. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this issue and look forward to your response. Please let me know if you require any further information.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have a business account with chase. I operate a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I deposited two checks with them on XX/XX/year> at XXXX. XXXX check was for {$110000.00} and the other was for {$60000.00} The checks were made out to the client and to the XXXX XXXX. I obtained a power of attorney from the clients so I could endorse the check on their behalf. I signed their name and stamped the check with the XXXX XXXX XXXX  stamp endorsement. The check cleared and Chase restricted the account. 

Thereafter, Chase told me the clients had to verify the check with their cellphone numbers. I provided the client 's cellphone numbers to chase and they informed that those cell phone numbers were not registered with the database they use to verify third parties. I told them I could take the clients to a branch to verify that they had authorized me to deposit the check on their behalf. Chase said that the ONLY way to verify my clients was through their internal system and if their phone numbers were not registered, there was nothing they could do. If they could not verify the clients, then they would close the account and leave the funds pending for years. If the issue could not be resolved, then the funds would be claimed by the state. 

There is no way that a real living person, that is available to go a bank branch, can not get verified. Chase is using unfair trade practices to retain money that is rightfully the clients ' and the XXXX XXXX

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

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 outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I previously disputed the accuracy of the account XXXX XXXX XXXX with Equifax and XXXX, citing discrepancies and a lack of proper verification under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i. Despite my request, I have not received a detailed description of the verification process, as required by 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ), nor has the account been removed. 

Additionally, this account was already deleted by XXXX, which demonstrates that the information is inaccurate and unverifiable. Equifax and XXXX have failed to correct this inconsistency, violating 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires credit reporting agencies to maintain maximum accuracy.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ), if an item can not be verified, it must be deleted. Since neither bureau has provided sufficient verification, the continued reporting of this account constitutes a clear violation of federal law.

This failure to investigate and correct inaccuracies has caused harm to my credit profile and financial standing, and I seek immediate resolution.

Complaint narrative:
I reviewed my credit report and noticed several inaccuracies. I sent a letter to TRANSUNION in XXXX to dispute these items.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), if a consumer disputes the accuracy or completeness of any information in their file, the credit reporting agency must, at no cost, conduct a reasonable investigation, verify the disputed information, and update the file or remove inaccurate items within 30 days of receiving the notice of dispute.

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 ( 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.
