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: NJ

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute the results of an investigation conducted by your agency concerning inaccurate information on my credit report, which I believe stems from the Equifax data breach. Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to conduct a reasonable investigation when a consumer disputes the accuracy or completeness of information reported. However, the investigation into my dispute was inadequate and did not meet the legal requirements outlined under the FCRA. 

On XX/XX/year>, I submitted a formal dispute regarding specific inaccurate information, e.g., a fraudulent account, incorrect balance, or late payment. However, your agency failed to properly investigate the matter, as evidenced by [ explain why the investigation was inadequate, such as lack of documentation, failure to contact the creditor, or failure to remove inaccurate information. 

Given that Equifax suffered a major data breach compromising sensitive consumer information, I have reason to believe that the disputed information on my credit report may be a direct result of identity theft or unauthorized use of my personal data. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i of the FCRA, you are obligated to : Conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information.

Provide me with a summary of the investigation and its findings.

Correct or delete inaccurate or unverifiable information.

Due to the insufficient investigation conducted, I demand that you immediately reinvestigate my dispute in compliance with FCRA guidelines. Additionally, please provide me with documentation supporting the verification of the disputed information. If your agency can not verify the accuracy of the information, it must be deleted from my credit report as required by law.

Failure to comply with FCRA regulations may result in legal action against your agency, including but not limited to complaints filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ).

Please respond in writing within the legally required 30-day period, confirming that a proper reinvestigation has been initiated or that the disputed information has been corrected or removed. If you require additional information from me to facilitate the reinvestigation, please notify me promptly. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and expect full compliance with federal law. Please send your response to the address listed above.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment to be updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

EQUIFAX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 


Update the late payments from my consumer reports

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.

I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Equifax complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation.

Complaint narrative:
here is the letter I submitted to pennymac and still nothing has been corrected and inaccurate information is being reported. I demand the 30, 60, 90 day late payments are deleted to inaccurate reporting.

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate, incomplete, and unverifiable information on my consumer report. Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq., you are required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of any disputed information. However, your failure to comply with this obligation, as evidenced by recent legal action against your agency, constitutes a direct violation of federal law. 

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has sued both XXXX and Equifax for conducting sham investigations, failing to properly verify disputed information, and misleading consumers regarding their rights. This lawsuit confirms what many consumers, including myself, have experienced firsthandan outright refusal to conduct a lawful, good-faith reinvestigation as required under the FCRA. 

Violation of Federal Law Your failure to verify the accuracy of the disputed information violates the following FCRA provisions : - 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Mandates that a credit reporting agency conduct a reasonable reinvestigation when a consumer disputes the accuracy of any item. The CFPB lawsuit establishes that XXXX and Equifax have routinely failed to comply with this obligation. 

- 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) Requires that any information that can not be verified must be deleted from the consumer 's file. The burden is on you and the furnisher to prove the legitimacy of the reported data, not on the consumer to disprove it.

- 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) Requires that credit reporting agencies maintain maximum possible accuracy in consumer reports. Your failure to conduct a reasonable investigation and reliance on automated systems instead of substantive verification is a clear breach of this requirement. 

- 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) Requires data furnishers to conduct a reasonable investigation once a dispute is received from a credit bureau . Your continued reporting of information without proper verification constitutes willful negligence.

Demand for Immediate Deletion Since your agency has failed to meet the legal standard of a reasonable investigation, and in light of the CFPBs action against XXXX and Equifax for fraudulent and deceptive dispute handling practices, I am demanding the immediate deletion of the following inaccurate, unverified, and disputed accounts from my consumer report. 

If you can not verify this information with competent, legally admissible evidence, you are required by law to delete it under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ).
