Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
This is a follow-up to my prior complaint ( CFPB Complaint XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX against Equifax for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Despite my previous complaint and the CFPBs involvement, Equifax has continued to demonstrate a pattern of non-compliance and obstructive behavior, which has caused further harm to my credit file and financial well-being. 

Summary of Recent Developments : Equifaxs Contradictory Responses and Failure to Conduct a Reasonable Investigation : In my latest dispute, Equifax responded with a letter dated XX/XX/year>, stating that they were unable to locate my credit file in their database using the information I provided. This claim is completely inconsistent with their previous responses, in which they verified disputed accounts on my credit report using the same identifying information. 
Equifaxs continued claims of being unable to locate my file, while previously verifying accounts, strongly suggest either an inability to maintain accurate records or an intentional refusal to investigate my disputes properly. This behavior violates FCRA 1681i, which requires a reasonable investigation of all disputes submitted by consumers. 
Equifaxs Use of Stall Tactics and Bad Faith Delays : The recent response requesting additional identifying information is a stall tactic, as I have already provided all necessary documents, including my full SSN and proof of address, in previous disputes. Equifaxs repeated inability to process my disputes correctly despite having the required information is a direct violation of the FCRA and demonstrates their unwillingness to comply with the law. 
Equifax has now repeatedly sent conflicting responses regarding their investigation of my dispute. They previously verified the disputed items, but now claim they can not locate my file. This pattern of behavior is causing unnecessary delays and financial harm.
