Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to you regarding a violation of my privacy and confidentiality rights, protected under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681b ( 2 ) ). Pursuant to 18 USC 8, I have identified the following accounts that have breached these legal provisions : Under 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( 2 ), a consumer reporting agency may only provide a consumers credit report with the consumers explicit written authorization. The following accounts have accessed or reported on my credit profile without my consent, which constitutes a clear violation of this provision : XXXX XXXX  XXXX Account # : XXXX XXXX. Reporting of Obsolete Information Violation of 15 USC 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ) Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ), no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes, which antedates the report by more than seven years.

3. Right to Privacy Section 602 ( A ) of the FCRA The FCRA, under Section 602 ( A ), clearly states that the consumer has a right to privacy with respect to the disclosure of their personal information. Any release or reporting of information without legal cause or consumer consent violates this right and must be addressed accordingly. 

4. Inaccurate or Unverified Information 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), no person shall furnish information to a consumer reporting agency if that person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. According to 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ), once notified of such inaccuracy by the consumer, the furnisher has an obligation to either correct or remove the inaccurate data. 

I hereby notify you that the information associated with the above referenced accounts is inaccurate, obsolete, or both.

Issue: Communication tactics — Used obscene, profane, or other abusive language
Company: FirstPoint Collection Resources
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
was recently contacted by FirstPoint Collections regarding a debt they claim I owe on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX. During my phone call with a female representative ( I do not remember her name or the exact date ), I was trying to understand my payment options and whether a pay-for-delete or goodwill deletion was possible. Instead of being helped, the representative became noticeably rude, irritated, and dismissive. 

I asked for written confirmation of any agreement or payment terms, especially regarding credit reporting outcomes. She firmly refused and told me they do not provide anything in writing, which I understand is not standard practice and leaves me without protection or proof of any agreement. 

When I asked who owns the debt, since she stated FirstPoint does not, she laughed at me, which I found to be highly unprofessional and offensive. The call was clearly not handled in good faith and made it difficult for me to resolve the matter responsibly.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against the credit bureaus due to their continuous failure to address my dispute letters concerning inaccurate information on my credit report. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this issue through the appropriate channels, the credit bureaus have not acknowledged or investigated my disputes, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Even after multiple submissions, the credit bureaus have failed to provide any response, confirm an investigation, or correct the disputed information. This lack of action clearly violates the FCRA, which requires credit bureaus to investigate disputes and respond within 30 days.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this NEW CFPB complaint because Experian, in response to my prior CFPB complaint filed on XX/XX/year>, has failed to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and has not corrected or deleted the inaccurate items I disputed. 

Experians response was untimely. They did not respond to my original complaint until XX/XX/year>, which is well beyond the legally required 30-day timeframe under FCRA 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). 

Furthermore, Experian failed to provide a proper reinvestigation as required by law. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically under : 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) failure to conduct a proper reinvestigation within 30 days 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) failure to provide a description of the procedures used to verify disputed information and furnishers ' contact information 1681e ( b ) failure to maintain maximum possible accuracy in reporting The response provided was generic and failed to include a specific description of the procedures used to verify the disputed information or provide the required contact information for the furnishers, in violation of FCRA 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ). 

Experians use of the automated EOSCAR system to process my dispute does not meet the FCRAs standard for a reasonable reinvestigation. Transmitting standardized codes through EOSCAR does not constitute an actual investigation into the accuracy of the information being reported. 

I am requesting that the CFPB escalate this matter for enforcement action due to Experians continuing violations of the FCRA. I am also filing a complaint with the FTC and have issued a Final Demand Letter to Experians legal department under FCRA 1681n for willful noncompliance.

Complaint narrative:
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. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Complaint narrative:
These entries are incorrect and do not accurately reflect my actual payment history. I have made multiple attempts to get these discrepancies investigated and corrected, yet no meaningful action has been taken. Despite providing all necessary documentation and following up several times, these errors remain unresolved. This ongoing issue has caused financial stress and has taken a serious toll on my well-being. Dealing with these inaccurate entries has been frustrating and exhausting. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to a credit report that accurately represents my financial history. This includes the prompt correction of outdated or incorrect information. I urge you to take immediate action to update or remove these late payment entries, as failing to do so is a direct violation of my rights under federal law. 
I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and expect a resolution as soon as possible.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I disputed a bankruptcy being reported on my Experian credit file. Experian responded on XX/XX/year> ( Report # XXXX ) stating that the item remains and was certified as accurate by the company that reported it. 

However, Experian did not provide documentation or verification directly from the furnisher of the information, which in this case would be the U.S. Bankruptcy Court listed on the file. Courts do not report directly to credit bureaus. 

I have since received written confirmation from XXXX ( dated XX/XX/year> ) that the bankruptcy data was unverifiable and has been permanently deleted from their system. If Experians public record source was XXXX or a third-party vendor like XXXX, then continued reporting is a clear violation. 

Per FCRA 611, Experian is required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation. Per FCRA 607 ( b ), they must maintain maximum possible accuracy. They can not simply assume accuracy based on associated creditors or generic court listings without verified documentation from the court or furnisher. 

I request permanent deletion of the bankruptcy from my Experian file and confirmation that this information will not be reinserted unless proper verification from the original source ( the court ) is provided.
