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: MA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against TRANSUNION for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report. Despite my submissions, TRANSUNION 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, Equifax 's actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C. 5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPB 's recent administrative proceeding ( File No. 2025-CFPB-0002 ) against them for similar violations. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure TRANSUNION complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation. I have submitted a dispute 6 times to correct this issue.

Despite my adherence to the proper dispute process and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the consumer reporting agency failed to respond within the 30-day period required by law.
