Consumer complaint received 2025-04-16 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally address the ongoing noncompliance of your agency in relation to my identity theft report, which I previously submitted in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Despite having sent several letters, your agency has repeatedly rejected my identity theft report on the grounds that it was not filed by a law enforcement agency. This decision is not in compliance with the FCRA and fails to recognize the guidance provided by XXXX  as mandated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ).

As you are aware, the FCRA at Section 605B and the guidance provided by the CFPB under identitytheft.gov clearly outline the process for filing an identity theft report. The CFPB specifically states that victims of identity theft can file a report directly through identitytheft.gov, which then becomes a valid identity theft report under the FCRA. Nowhere does the FCRA require this report to be submitted by law enforcement for it to be valid.

Furthermore, under FCRA Section 617, your agency is legally required to investigate and resolve any identity theft dispute in a timely manner, and you are prohibited from deciding unilaterally what is valid or invalid when it comes to an identity theft report that has been properly filed. Your refusal to acknowledge this report based on your own standardsrather than what is set forth in federal lawis a clear violation of the FCRA. 

Legal Precedent : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ) : This case underscores the importance of proper handling of disputes related to credit reporting and emphasizes that credit reporting agencies can not disregard information simply based on their own internal policies when federal law mandates a specific process. 
XXXX v. Experian Information Solutions XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX Cir. XXXX ) : This case reinforced that credit reporting agencies must follow FCRA regulations, including investigating claims of identity theft in accordance with the law, and can not arbitrarily determine what constitutes an acceptable identity theft report. 
XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX ) : This decision clarified that a credit reporting agency is obligated to accept documents submitted by the consumer, as long as they meet the legal requirements for disputing inaccurate information under the FCRA.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2025, I received a response from Equifax regarding disputes I submitted via certified mail and through the CFPB. The response was vague and non-substantive, and it failed to address the specific violations I raised under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Equifax continues to report XXXX or more tradelines with inaccurate, outdated, or unverifiable information. They did not provide lawful validation or conduct a proper reinvestigation as required under FCRA 1681i. Their failure to ensure accuracy under 1681e ( b ), combined with inconsistent and outdated reporting practices, has caused me harm. 

I am now preparing to file a formal Demand for Arbitration through XXXX if this issue is not resolved promptly and lawfully.
