Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: LEXISNEXIS
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing XXXX continued reporting of a dismissed bankruptcy case filed on XX/XX/XXXX, and dismissed on XX/XX/XXXX, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of XXXX.

Despite the dismissal, LexisNexis is still reporting this bankruptcy as an active public record. There has been no court activity or trustee administration since the dismissal date, and the case is legally inactive. This reporting is inaccurate and misleading, violating FCRA 1681e ( b ) and 1681i. 

I mailed LexisNexis a formal dispute requesting verification or deletion. I asked them to provide updated court-stamped documentation showing the case is active beyond XX/XX/XXXX. They failed to provide this. 

Additionally, TransUnion has already removed this bankruptcy from their records, which supports my claim that LexisNexis is reporting outdated, unverifiable information. I am attaching the official dismissal order for reference.
