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: MO

Complaint narrative:
I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

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.

Company: FAIR COLLECTIONS & OUTSOURCING, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have disputed this debt with fair collection and outsource multiple times. I have informed them that I was not living in the apartment during the time they are trying to charge me for. I dropped off a letter to the leasing office ( Vineyards at Forest edge ) clearly stating that I had no intentions to sign a new lease, and I was about to move out. The leasing agent offered me a XXXX bedroom transfer idea. I was told that XXXX bedrooms apartments are available but, theyre not ready yet. I was promised after multiple visits to the leasing office, that I would not be charged extra if my lease ended before this process was complete. Not only was I charged month to month fees, a XXXX bedroom apartment transfer was never processed for me. I even tried to escalate the issue to the XXXX business manager. even upper management promised me results after my disputes. Before you know it, the leasing office was permanently closed, and all communication was lost .The world was in the middle of a pandemic. I moved out of the apartment on XX/XX/year>. I made sure that all of my belongings were clear from the apartment. I also made sure that the apartment was clean. I decided to quarantine with my family. I was able to secure me another apartment on XXXX XXXX. 
I later found out that the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was bought by the XXXX XXXX. For some reason, the XXXX XXXX is trying to charge me like as if I was still living there in XX/XX/year>. Theyre also trying to charge me excessive amounts for repairs to the apartment. They even conveniently are trying to charge me exactly {$50.00} each, for the stove in the refrigerator repairs. The rent ledger that fair collections and outsource has on file-has multiple flaws.
