Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Equifax has claimed to have " verified '' the items I have previously disputed to be accurate and complete. 

However, when I pulled a new copy of my credit report, I noticed that the accounts and inquiries that I disputed are still there even though they are inaccurate and incomplete according to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX standards. I have attached letters with two forms of ID showing how exactly these accounts and inquiries i'm disputing does not meet XXXX XXXX standards. 

I can tell that a proper investigation has not been conducted by Equifax. As a result of this, it has caused me to experience credit and loan denials caused by the willful and negligent actions of this company. 

From my understanding, by not conducting a proper investigation, verifying inaccurate and incomplete information to be true, and causing me to suffer credit denials and financial harm due to willful negligence, this meets the requirements for a FCRA claim. I FULLY INTEND to either pursue litigation in civil court or file an arbitration claim with the XXXX XXXX XXXX if these errors are not corrected.
