Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experians inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer. These are the accounts Ive marked inaccurate : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to follow up on my previous dispute regarding the incorrect bankruptcy notation on my credit report. Despite my formal request for removal, I have yet to receive confirmation that this erroneous information has been fully investigated and corrected. This is a critical matter affecting my financial standing, and I demand immediate resolution in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). This bankruptcy record does not belong to me, and it appears to be the result of a misattribution or file merger with another individual of similar identifying details. My credit file must accurately reflect my true financial history, which does not include any bankruptcy filing. 
Immediate Corrective Action Required : Conduct a thorough re-investigation into the erroneous bankruptcy notation and verify its origin. 
Permanently remove the bankruptcy record and any associated account notations from my credit report. 
Issue a formal written statement confirming the deletion of the inaccurate bankruptcy entry and any related updates to my file. 
To expedite this correction, I have once again included proof of my identity and address, along with a highlighted copy of my credit report identifying the incorrect information. 
This is now my second formal request, and I expect full compliance with FCRA regulations. Should you fail to rectify this issue within the legally mandated timeframe, I will escalate this matter by : Filing formal complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) Pursuing legal remedies for damages resulting from this reporting error This is your final opportunity to address this dispute before I take further action. I require a response via XXXX mail only, confirming the full and permanent removal of this erroneous bankruptcy record.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Equifax for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report. Despite my submissions, Equifax consistently responds within 24 hours stating the account is accurate, without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation. This practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Equifaxs actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C 5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPBs recent administrative proceeding ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) against them for similar violations. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Equifax complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation.
