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: OK

Complaint narrative:
Equifax failed to fullfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Report 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. 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.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the inaccurate information reflected on my credit report. The information appears to violate my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and should be removed or corrected promptly.

1. Incorrect Accounts Several accounts listed on my credit report appear to be inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated. Under FCRA Section 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ), I am entitled to dispute information that I believe to be inaccurate, and the credit reporting agency is required to investigate the disputed information within 30 days. I have reason to believe that the following accounts do not belong to me, contain incorrect data, or should no longer be listed due to age or resolution : XXXX Account # : XXXX Balance : As required under the FCRA, I request that these accounts be thoroughly investigated and either updated or removed from my credit report if found to be inaccurate.

Company: MOHELA
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have a pending SAVE plan application ( submitted XX/XX/XXXX ) with Mohela. According to Federal Student Aid SAVE injunction guidance, I should have been transitioned from a processing forbearance ( interested accrued ) to a general forbearance ( interest not accrued ) after 60 days. Mohela never placed my account into general forbearance and stated that they need the signal from Federal Student Aid to transition my account to general forbearance. They could not provide any information regarding the timing of this. I performed this call on XX/XX/XXXX. So my account has been inappropriately accruing XXXX XXXX XXXX of interest for months on a principle amount of over {$300000.00} from XXXX  schools loans. I feel like Mohela is taking advantage of students and not following the FSA guidelines. It is incredibly frustrating, and I would like more transparency with this process, and for Mohela to be held accountable to follow the FSA guidelines.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against the credit bureaus due to their continuous failure to address my dispute letters concerning inaccurate information on my credit report. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this issue through the appropriate channels, the credit bureaus have not acknowledged or investigated my disputes, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Even after multiple submissions, the credit bureaus have failed to provide any response, confirm an investigation, or correct the disputed information. This lack of action clearly violates the FCRA, which requires credit bureaus to investigate disputes and respond within 30 days.

Complaint narrative:
I am following up on case number XXXX regarding TransUnions failure to remove unauthorized inquiries from my credit report. These inquiries were made without my consent, and TransUnion has refused to take corrective action, forcing me to consider filing an FTC complaint. However, this step should not be necessary, as no credit was granted, and no open or active accounts resulted from these inquiries. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 U.S.C. 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may only furnish a credit report with permissible purpose. Since I did not authorize these inquiries and they did not result in any credit relationship, they should not be reported. Furthermore, under FCRA 1681i, I have the right to dispute any inaccurate or unauthorized information on my credit report and have it removed upon failure to verify. 

TransUnions refusal to remove these inquiries is a clear violation of my rights as a consumer. I request immediate enforcement action to ensure compliance with federal law and the prompt removal of these unauthorized inquiries. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your swift response.
