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: TN

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern : I am submitting this complaint regarding Equifax 's failure to properly investigate my consumer report dispute, in direct violation of their obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). On XX/XX/2025, I filed a formal dispute with Equifax to correct fraudulent and inaccurate information appearing on my consumer report. Instead of conducting a proper investigation, Equifax responded with a stall letter that neither addressed my dispute nor took steps to resolve the inaccuracies. 

I am aware that the CFPB has recently filed a lawsuit against Equifax for these very same practices namely, their systemic failure to properly investigate consumer disputes. I am a direct victim of this misconduct. 

As a XXXX veteran who suffers from XXXX, this experience has been extremely stressful and XXXX XXXX. I am currently in the process of closing on a mortgage, and I am under strict time constraints with only XXXX week remaining to finalize my home purchase. Equifaxs refusal to lawfully process my dispute is putting my homeownership at serious risk, compounding my stress and potentially causing irreparable harm to my financial future. 

I respectfully request that the CFPB take immediate action to ensure Equifax fully complies with the FCRA, properly investigates my dispute without further delay, and removes the fraudulent and inaccurate items from my consumer report. I also request that Equifax be held accountable for the injury and distress they have caused. 

I am attaching supporting documents, including copies of my dispute submission and Equifaxs stall letter, should you require further evidence of their noncompliance. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this urgent matter.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I opened a personal trainer account with XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX gym in XXXX GA. I attempted to close the account on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX business days after I opened it. I was informed by the personal trainer, as well as the manager in the gym for that program that I can submit an email for termination of the account, which I did and that any fees will be waived due to the prompt timing of the cancellation attempt. 

I sent an email to their support team, which they replied that they will contact me promptly in regards for this cancellation. In addition, the personal trainer contacted me and told me the same information that I was told while I was attempting to cancel the account in person at the gym. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, the account was sent to collections with the company COLLECTION RECEIVABLES INC. The account was still open, and was never closed. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, a number texted me to pay {$1000.00} USD and be done, believing this to be a scam I ignored the text. They later followed up claiming to save me a lot of money and full credit deletion. 

I believe this is unfair due to my attempt as the individual who opened the account to properly close the account following the companys policys listed in the contract, as well as the information given to me by the employees of the company representing them. No contact was made following this contract agreement termination, and was left sitting for almost a year.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a written dispute to TransUnion regarding unauthorized credit inquiries appearing on my report. I followed up again on XX/XX/XXXX, after receiving no valid response. The inquiries listed below were not authorized by me, nor supported by any permissible purpose under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX I contacted each of the listed creditors, and all confirmed that they did not initiate these inquiries with valid consumer authorization, nor do they possess a signed application or permissible purpose under 15 U.S.C. 1681b. Despite this, TransUnion has continued to report these inquiries without properly investigating or removing them.

Additionally, TransUnion has failed to comply with the following legal requirements : 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Failing to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) Failing to delete unverifiable data 1681i ( 7 ) Failing to disclose the method of verification used 1681g ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Failing to provide the original documentation or application 1681s-2 ( b ) Neglecting its duty to maintain and report accurate information Furthermore, I explicitly requested manual verification, as the continued use of automated systems like e-OSCAR has been flagged as insufficient by the CFPB itself in the case CFPB XXXX XXXX  XXXX. XXXX, XXXX. XXXX ( C.D. XXXX, XXXX XXXX ). TransUnion failed to perform a manual investigation and has not provided any documentation demonstrating compliance with the FCRA. 

These inquiries negatively impact my credit profile and expose me to the risk of identity theft or misrepresentation.
