Complaint narrative:
b'I am writing to formally submit a complaint regarding the handling of inaccurate information on my credit report by the credit reporting agencies, despite my repeated efforts in dispute these errors. Despite multiple disputes filed with the bureau, they have failed to take appropriate action to update or delete these inaccuracies as required by law. This negligence has persisted despite my lawful right, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), I5 U.S.C.  1681, to have my credit report reflect only accurate and verifiable information. The FCRA mandates that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of information (15 U.S.C.le(b)) and conduct a reasonable investigation of disputes raised by consumers (15 U.S.C.  1681).

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It XXXX Concern at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian regarding their failure to properly investigate my identity theft claim and dispute inaccurate information on my credit report. 
Background : I submitted an identity theft report to Experian, following all required guidelines and providing all necessary documentation as stipulated by Experian. My correspondence clearly stated that I was disputing the debt as fraudulent and requested proof that the debt in question is legitimately mine, bearing my signature or other legally binding proof of my responsibility for the debt. 
The Issue : Despite my clear request and the submission of an identity theft report, Experian responded with a generic statement that this account has been verified as accurate. This response is unacceptable and demonstrates a blatant disregard for credit reporting laws and my rights as a consumer. Experian has failed to provide the requested validation or documentation to prove the debt is mine, especially in light of my identity theft claim. This lack of investigation and validation violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and potentially other applicable laws.

Complaint narrative:
I discovered multiple hard inquiries on my credit report that I did not authorize, initiate, or consent to. These inquiries were placed without my knowledge or involvement, and I have no existing credit relationships, applications, or transactions with the companies responsible. I submitted disputes to the credit bureaus requesting verification and deletion of these unauthorized inquiries. Despite these efforts, I received either boilerplate responses or no valid proof of permissible purposesuch as signed applications or digital audit trails. This lack of verification violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), including 1681b ( a ) ( 3 ), 1681e ( b ), and 1681g, which require a permissible purpose, maximum accuracy, and full disclosure of information used to verify account reporting. I believe these hard inquiries were added in error or through fraudulent means, and the credit bureaus have failed to meet their legal responsibilities under FCRA. I am now seeking the CFPBs assistance in ensuring my rights as a consumer are protected.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the late payment entries currently listed on my credit report. I have repeatedly attempted to have these discrepancies reviewed and corrected, yet no significant action has been taken. Despite submitting all required documentation and following up multiple times, the inaccuracies remain unresolved. 
This prolonged issue has caused ongoing financial strain and has negatively affected both my credit standing and overall well-being. The process of addressing these errors has been not only frustrating but also mentally and emotionally exhausting. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the legal right to a credit report that accurately reflects my financial history. This includes the timely correction or removal of outdated, incorrect, or unverifiable information. I am therefore urging your office to take immediate and appropriate action to update or delete the reported late payment entries in question.

Complaint narrative:
Lexington Law and/or their partner companies have continued to send disputes to the credit bureaus without my consent, even after my account with them was closed. 
I have not authorized these disputes, and I was not notified or given a chance to approve them. Ive been locked out of my Lexington Law account and can not access anything even after changing my password. Yet I continue to receive emails stating that they are sending legal challenges and disputes in my name, including recently on XX/XX/year>, to TransUnion. 
These unauthorized actions are actively affecting my credit report and creditworthiness. I did not give consent for these recent disputes, and I believe Lexington Law is violating consumer rights and possibly the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Because these unauthorized actions have negatively impacted my credit and ability to apply for credit or loans, I am also requesting financial compensation for the harm caused.

I am requesting : A full investigation Immediate stop of all activities by Lexington Law Access to a consumer report showing what disputes or actions they initiated And compensation for the credit harm done without my permission
