Complaint narrative:
I am sending to formally dispute inaccuracies in my credit report and to demand compensation for your companys repeated violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Similar to the recent Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) lawsuit against XXXX, I am deeply concerned that Equifax has also failed to properly investigate consumer disputes and may have improperly reinserted inaccurate information on consumer reports. 

Violations Similar to Those Cited by the CFPB The CFPB 's lawsuit against XXXX  highlighted practices that are consistent with issues I have experienced with Equifax, including : Conducting sham investigations : Equifax, like XXXX, fails to properly address consumer disputes by relying on flawed intake procedures and uncritically accepting responses from furnishers, even when unreliable. 

Improper reinsertion of inaccurate information : Equifax has reintroduced previously deleted inaccurate information on consumer reports without explanation, potentially due to inadequate matching tools. 

Failure to notify consumers adequately : Equifax provides notices to consumers that are vague, ambiguous, or incorrect, failing to properly communicate investigation results. 

These practices undermine consumer rights and can significantly harm access to credit, employment, and housing. 

My Dispute I have identified the following inaccuracies in my Equifax credit report that require immediate correction : ACCOUNTS XXXX - XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  - According to my records, I have never been late on this account. It appears that there are reports of 120 or 180 days late without a preceding 30 or 60 days mark, which is a significant error. Please thoroughly investigate all records and verify the accuracy of all details, including address, name spelling, etc. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ), please remove all negative marks associated with this error.

Despite my previous efforts to address these errors, they persist, and I suspect improper practices by Equifax, TransUnion have contributed to their continued presence.
