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 & thorough investigation. This practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes.

Complaint narrative:
My car was totalled back in XXXX and my insurance paid the book value of the car. The principle balance has been paid, basically what i have continued to pay since then is interest that they refused to settle. I agreed to pay XXXX per month, which is auto drafted out if my account on the XXXX of every month. They are reporting it as delinquent, I requested that they update this as it is hurting my credit. I was told by the credit department that they would completely remove from my report as I have payments set up and there is no longer interest on my account I am just paying down the negative equity that remained when the book value was paid. They never removed, nor updated my credit report to show current.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I received a credit monitoring alert that my credit score had changed. When I checked my credit report I had two student loans that posted deficient for late payments over 90 days. I have never stopped automatic payment withdrawal from my checking account for my loan payments. To my knowledge the loans were paid off. Due to some federal pause on federal loan agencies payments were apparently paused and Aidvantage incepted my student loans ( account # XXXX ) some time in XXXX. I was never notified by the XXXX XXXX XXXX  or by Aidvantage of any transfer or outstanding balances. My credit score is XXXX and I pay all my bills on time. The failure of Aidvantage and the XXXX XXXX XXXX  or the federal loan company that had my loans prior to transfer is egregious conduct. I called Aidvantage today and spoke to their representative who confirmed personal information on record that I had not had since the year XXXX. My student loans were taken in XXXX and since this date my personal information has been : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, MD XXXX. I requested my account number from the Aidvantage representative and then requested their website so I could register and login to see my loans. I paid the loans off in full today XX/XX/XXXX and also requested that Aidvantage provide me with written correspondence that confirms they did not make contact with me or send mailings to the proper home address on record with the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX or with FAFSA. I have used my current address listed above since XXXX and the loans were not taken until XXXX. I am asking for your help to please investigate Aidvantage for mishandling of my personal information and notification of their inception of my account. I would like to use this complaint and the outcome to demonstrate to the credit bureau dispute for the late payments to resolve the issue on my credit score that I have worked nearly 30 years to build. Thank you.

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations.

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.

A month prior, I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus ; however, the erroneous information on my report remains unchanged. I have not received any communication from them, apart from your notice indicating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be assured that they have thoroughly examined the inaccuracies? What measures were implemented to validate the accounts? This entire situation is exceedingly frustrating, particularly given that more than 30 days have elapsed since I submitted my complaint.
