Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

State: KY

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against both TransUnion and Experian for their ongoing failure to remove and block multiple fraudulent accounts from my credit reports, despite numerous disputes and submission of my FTC Identity Theft Report. 
The following accounts are fraudulently reporting on my credit report and were not opened or authorized by me : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I have submitted multiple formal disputes to both credit bureaus, provided documentation of identity theft, and followed all necessary procedures, including the filing of an FTC Identity Theft Report, which I included with each dispute.

Under 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2 ( Section 605B of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ), a consumer reporting agency is legally required to block and remove all information resulting from identity theft within four ( 4 ) business days after receiving appropriate proof, including : A police or FTC report , Proof of identity, A written statement from the consumer.

Despite meeting these criteria, these accounts continue to reappear or are marked verified, which is a direct violation of my consumer rights under federal law.

I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) intervene and take the following actions : 1.Ensure permanent deletion
of all the listed fraudulent accounts from both TransUnion and Experian.

2.Hold the credit bureaus accountable for violating FCRA 605B and failing to comply with the required 4-day removal rule.

3.Prevent reinsertion of the fraudulent information unless fully certified and lawfully verified as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ).

4.Provide written confirmation that these items have been removed and will not be reinserted in the future.

This continued reporting is causing significant damage to my credit, emotional stress, and denial of financial opportunities. I respectfully request immediate assistance to restore the accuracy and integrity of my credit file.

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.
