Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
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: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Equifax for failing to propery 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, 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. 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.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian, a consumer reporting agency, for their failure to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and rectify a violation regarding the reinsertion of previously deleted material into my credit report.

On [ Date ], I sent a letter to Experian notifying them of the reinsertion of ( XXXX XXXX account number XXXX ) into my credit report without proper certification of accuracy and notification to me, as mandated by FCRA Section 611 ( B ). Despite waiting for 35 days after sending the letter, Experian has failed to remove the reinserted account from my credit report, continuing to violate FCRA regulations.

Experian actions have caused significant inconvenience and potential harm to my credit profile, impacting my ability to access fair credit terms and financial opportunities. Despite my efforts to resolve this matter directly with Experian, they have neglected to take appropriate action, demonstrating a lack of accountability and compliance with federal consumer protection laws.

Complaint narrative:
I am to formally express my concerns regarding Zelles handling of disputes, particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform. Despite using Zelle numerous times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution and Zelle failed to investigate my claims adequately. They informed me that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactions was unfeasible. The CFPBs findings indicate that Zelle has not only neglected to protect consumers but has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system, leaving user vulnerable to scams. The lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumers safety.

State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to you regarding a violation of my privacy and confidentiality rights, protected under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681b ( 2 ) ). Pursuant to 18 USC 8, I have identified the following accounts that have breached these legal provisions : XXXX Account # : XXXX XXXX  Account # : XXXX XXXX Account # : XXXX XXXX Account # : XXXX These accounts have accessed my credit information without my explicit authorization, which constitutes a violation of my privacy and confidentiality rights. Additionally, some of these accounts contain obsolete information that should be excluded from my credit report as stipulated in 15 USC 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ).

According to 15 USC 1681, Section 602 ( A ), I have the right to privacy. Furthermore, under 15 USC 1681, Section 604 ( A ), Section 2, a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions. Also, 15 USC 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ) states that no consumer reporting agency may include any adverse item of information that is more than seven years old, other than records of convictions of crimes.

Finally, under 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ), no person shall furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. Additionally, according to 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ), a person shall not furnish information if ( i ) the person has been notified by the consumer that specific information is inaccurate, and ( ii ) the information is, in fact, inaccurate.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Equifax has failed to fulfill its legal obligation 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 Equifax, 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 Equifax has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. Additionally, Equifax has confirmed my information was exposed in a data breach. Despite Section 605B of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which gives victims of identity theft the right to block fraudulent information from their credit reports, my report was not corrected. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Equifax 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.
