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. Code 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Equifax 's actions may also contravene the consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S. Code 5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( a ) - ( B ) as highlighted in the CFPB 's recent administrative proceeding ( File No.2025-CfPB-0002 ) 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.

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX EXPERIAN TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment to be updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


EQUIFAX EXPERIAN TRANSUNION Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 


Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Complaint Investigation Request Regarding Unauthorized Collection Accounts Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am filing a formal complaint against TransUnion, Equifax, and Experian for failing to remove multiple unauthorized collection accounts from my credit report, despite my formal disputes and supporting documentation proving identity theft. 

After being denied credit, I obtained my credit report and discovered the following fraudulent collection accounts that I did not open : XXXX. XXXX XXXX Reported twice as a duplicate ( Acct # XXXX ) XXXX. XXXX XXXX Reported twice as a duplicate ( Acct # XXXX, Acct # XXXX ) XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Acct # XXXX ) XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Acct # XXXX ) XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Acct # XXXX ) XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Acct # XXXX ) XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX ( duplicate ) ( Acct # XXXX ) I have filed a police report with the XXXX XXXX Police Department ( XXXX ), reference # REPORT NUMBER : XXXX as evidence of identity theft. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) and California Civil Code 1785.16.2, I formally requested the removal of these fraudulent accounts. However, despite my dispute, these credit bureaus continue to report the false information, negatively impacting my creditworthiness.

Additionally, under California Civil Code 1785.25 ( a ), data furnishers are prohibited from reporting inaccurate information. These collection agencies are in clear violation of this law by failing to correct fraudulent data after being notified. The refusal of TransUnion, Equifax, and Experian to delete these accounts also violates FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ), which requires credit bureaus to investigate and correct inaccuracies within 30 days. 

I am requesting the CFPBs immediate intervention to ensure that all three credit bureaus comply with federal and state laws and remove these fraudulent collection accounts from my credit report. If this issue is not resolved, I will escalate the matter to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) and the California Attorney Generals Office for further action. 

I expect an official response detailing the actions taken to resolve this complaint. Please confirm the removal of these accounts in writing. Thank you for your time and prompt attention to this serious matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Email : XXXX XXXX
