Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
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: OH

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this formal complaint to address Equifax Information Services LLC 's unauthorized and deceptive practices concerning my request for the removal of information related to XXXX XXXX from my Equifax credit report. Despite providing all necessary and valid documentation, in full compliance with federal law, including a Victims Determination Letter from a recognized authority, Equifax has unjustly denied my request and misrepresented their attempts to resolve the matter. 

Equifax 's actions are in direct violation of 12 CFR 1022.142 ( e ) ( 4 ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which explicitly prohibits credit reporting agencies from refusing to block adverse information based solely on the validity of submitted documentation. This clear disregard for federal regulations and my rights as a consumer is deeply concerning.

I request a thorough investigation into Equifaxs ongoing non-compliance with these federal standards and that appropriate corrective measures be taken to address their misconduct. The companys refusal to fulfill its legal obligations has caused unwarranted harm to my credit profile, despite my adherence to all requirements under the law. 

As stipulated under Section 605C of the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are legally prohibited from including adverse information on a consumer 's report when such information results from the individual being a victim of XXXX XXXX. After I notified the agency and provided all the required documentation, including evidence mandated by the law, this information should have been promptly removed within the specified timeframe. However, Equifax and other credit agencies have failed to address or comply with my request, contrary to what the law mandates. 

I urge immediate action to rectify this issue, as their failure to comply with established legal standards constitutes a serious breach of both federal law and consumer protection rights. 

Thank you for your attention to this critical matter. I trust you will give it the serious consideration it warrants.
