Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2021 I sent a letter re : inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report. It has been over 60 days and I have not received a response yet. I feel like I am being ignored and taken advantage of regarding my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) clearly states that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. It has been over 60 days so they should be promptly deleted.I am distressed that you have included the information below in my credit profile and that you have failed to maintain reasonable procedures in your operations to assure maximum possible accuracy in the credit reports you publish. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information. Furthermore, In accordance with The Fair Credit Reporting Act, Public law 91-506, Title VI, Section 611, Subsection A-D, please provide the names and business addresses of each individual with whom you verified the above, so that I may follow up. Every step must be taken to assure the information reported is completely accurate and correct. The following information therefore needs to be re-investigated. This has really caused me a lot of stress and strain and I demand that these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have gotten into the hands of the wrong person.

Company: National Credit Adjusters, LLC

Complaint narrative:
This company started reporting this debt to my credit report without any prior communications. I was not given a chance to dispute the validity of the debt which is a violation of the FDCPA. They are also attempting to collect a debt for the wrong amount. This account was paid and closed with another creditor not them. The inaccurate reporting has led to adverse actions being taken against me. I was denied credit due to this company negligent and willful non-complaint reporting. Thats deceptive and misleading.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/2021 I filed a dispute with all 3 bureaus and XXXX which was reporting inaccurate information and removal. All 3 bureaus didn't respond within 30 days. I have had previous disputes on this item with all 3 bureaus. The item in question is a Bankruptcy. 

XXXX is reporting inaccurate data on the bankruptcy. The item was dismissed and never pursued. The Bankruptcy never was active or made it to court. The filing has errors. 

All agency was asked to remove this from the report numerous times. A 3rd party data company furnished this information to the bureaus as there was no contact made from the Courts which shows how inaccurate it is being reported. 

This information that was collected was from a 3rd party and shows several mistakes. 
The action I took with XXXX 1. I ordered my file from XXXX to review 2. I checked it over 3. I found the inaccuracy. Then I, 1. Wrote XXXX and all 3 bureaus 2. Sent a description of the inaccuracy to all four bureaus, 3. Waited 30 days for a response and started filing a complaint when I didn't receive an update or the desired results that should be done. 

There were numerous previous letters to all 3 bureaus asking that this erroneous item be removed. With the amount of research I have made on this item my conclusion is that it must be removed based on No direct update from the courts, a 3rd party reporting the data and the data is incorrect. The item is dismissed and never went active in the Courts either and a Bankruptcy never took place. 

1. The item was never active 2. It was reported with inaccuracy through XXXX - the information didn't belong on the report, and was pointed out through the dispute letters 3. The data was collected from a 3rd party and not the courts. 4. The biggest erroneous complaint is there was never a bankruptcy that took place. 

As a consumer, I swear that this information is correct. I wish to file a complaint on all 3 Bureaus and XXXX for the removal of the item discussed in this grievance.

Complaint narrative:
I've been disputing fraud accounts on my credit report since XX/XX/2020. I keep sending multiple sets of letters to the bureaus so the excuse of " we didn't get it '' doesn't happen. Furthermore, each letter is certified mail with tracking and each letter shows signed and delivered and yet the bureaus are still not taking any actions. The accounts are not showing in dispute nor are they removed from my report. The accounts always show up with different name variations and different account number variations and yet the bureaus seem to ignore the trend and let these fraud accounts affect my credit score. I have requested the investigation to be initiated and also verifiable proof to be submitted should the account claim to be mine. Not only have I not received any mail showing the verifiable proofs needed to justify the accounts to be on my report, I haven't even received any letters at all stating the investigations have begun. Per the FCRA and federal law, the process is supposed to be 30 days. 290 days later, I'm still here shelling out money for certified mail with no end in sight and no results to show. This is my last option before I take this up with my lawyers and sue for full compensations and damages incurred. Finally, it seems that when these complaints are submitted, the bureaus are using the excuse that they " can't confirm my identity '' to get away with taking no actions on my credit report. Please investigate this as well.
