Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
Equifax failed to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of my dispute as required by 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Instead of independently verifying the accuracy of the information, they solely relied on the furnishers response. Additionally, they failed to consider the documentation I provided ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 4 ) ), failed to ensure maximum possible accuracy in my consumer report ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ), and refused to delete unverifiable information ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) ). These violations have caused harm to my credit profile, and I request immediate corrective action.

In addition to the violations listed above, Equifax also violated 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) by failing to provide the method of verification upon my request. The FCRA grants me the right to know how the disputed information was verified, yet Equifax refused to disclose this information. This lack of transparency suggests that no real verification was conducted, further demonstrating their failure to comply with federal law.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Equifax for failing to properly 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 SS 5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPB 's recent administrative proceeding ( File No. 2025-CFPB-0002 ) against them for similar violations. request that the CFPB take action to ensure Equifax complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation.
