Complaint narrative:
I am formally requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) immediately enforce corrective action against Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion for persistent and repeated violations of federal law. Over thirty ( 30 ) days ago, I submitted detailed written disputes, comprehensive identity theft documentation, and supporting evidence. The bureaus have unlawfully failed to comply with their statutory duties under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and related federal laws, constituting additional violations.
