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. 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:
A billing and reporting error from my bank has unfairly damaged my credit. Under TILA ( 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) ), creditors must report payments accurately, yet a payment I made was not properly recorded, leading to an incorrect late mark on my report. Additionally, I was not given the required 21-day notice before the payment was due, making the late mark invalid. This inaccuracy violates federal law and is unjustly affecting my credit standing.
