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: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have submitted multiple disputes to Experian regarding several accounts, including XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Secured Loan and others, all of which contained inaccurate reporting. I provided clear documentation showing the accounts were paid, closed, or otherwise incorrect. Despite this, Experian returned every dispute as verified in under a weekan unreasonably short timeframe that indicates they did not conduct a thorough or reasonable investigation, in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
Additionally, the furnishers failed to respond or correct the inaccurate information. Previous complaints to the CFPB do not appear to have resulted in meaningful enforcement, as the inaccuracies remain on my credit report. These ongoing errors are negatively affecting my creditworthiness. 
I am requesting that Experian and the furnishers be compelled to fully investigate, verify, and correct or delete all inaccurate information as required by law. If these actions are not taken promptly, it will constitute clear FCRA noncompliance and may necessitate further legal action.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am requesting CFPB intervention to secure the immediate removal of an inaccurate and unverifiable account on my credit report, held and reported by Equifax Information Services LLC. This account has been repeatedly disputed without adequate verification, in clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Despite multiple requests for investigation and correction, the credit bureau has failed to comply with the thorough and reasonable verification requirements under the FCRA, relying solely on automated and inconsistent responses. 

Details of the Account in Dispute Account Number : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Creditor Name : # XXXX Account Number : XXXX Creditor Name : # XXXX Legal Basis and Violations of the FCRA 5. Inaccuracy and Lack of Verification : According to the FCRA, credit bureaus must maintain accurate and verifiable information in credit reports. In this case, the credit bureau has shown a lack of diligence in verifying this account, relying solely on automated systems like XXXX to respond to my dispute. This type of system does not meet the reasonable verification standard required by law, especially in a recurring dispute that significantly impacts my credit history and score. 
6. Inconsistencies Across Credit Bureaus : Upon reviewing my reports from the three major credit bureaus, I have found inconsistencies in how this account is reported. These discrepancies indicate systemic errors in the handling and verification of information by Equifax Information Services LLC, which further underscores the lack of accuracy and FCRA compliance. 

References to Relevant Case Law To support my complaint, I cite the following legal precedents that reinforce the obligation of credit bureaus to conduct thorough and reasonable investigations : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ) : This ruling establishes that credit bureaus must conduct reasonable investigations and can not rely solely on automated responses when a consumer disputes the accuracy of reported information. 
XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) : The court held that credit bureaus must go beyond data provided by the creditor and conduct additional verification when accuracy is in question. 
XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) : This case emphasizes the responsibility of information furnishers and credit bureaus to conduct exhaustive, non-superficial investigations under the FCRA. 
These cases consistently establish that credit reporting agencies must take reasonable steps to ensure the accuracy of information in credit reports and can not rely on automated responses when accuracy is challenged.
