Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint against Equifax and Experian for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report related to XXXX XXXX. Despite my multiple submissions, Equifax consistently responds within 24 hours stating that the account is accuratewithout providing any evidence of a thorough investigation. 

This practice directly violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Additionally, Equifaxs actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C. 5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPBs recent administrative proceeding ( File No. 2025-CFPB-002 ) against Equifax for similar violations .

I respectfully request that the CFPB take appropriate action to ensure Equifax and Experian complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of a proper investigation into disputed accounts. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please let me know if any additional information is required.

The misleading website, was clear and the application was requested for a Refinancing, and the negligence from the loan processors : 1 ) Filed it as a used car acquisition from a dealer, 2 ) Authorized the loan, and called for data from the dealership selling.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Georgia XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> Equifax XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Georgia XXXX Subject : Formal Dispute of Inaccurate Collection Account [ XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX ] Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy and validity of the following collections listed on my credit report, associated with account numbers [ XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX ]. According to your report, these accounts are verified as accurate by the creditor ; however, I contest the accuracy of these entries and request an immediate investigation pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Under the FCRA, you are required to investigate disputed information within 30 days of receiving this letter and, if the information is found to be inaccurate or unverifiable, to remove the entry from my credit report. The following concerns render these collection accounts inaccurate : 1. Failure to Provide Adequate Proof of Debt : The creditor has failed to furnish any documentation validating the debt, as required by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). Despite my written request for validation, no substantial proof has been provided to demonstrate my responsibility for the alleged debt.

2. No Evidence of Ownership or Legal Authority to Collect : The creditor has not provided evidence of their legal standing to collect on this debt or the assignment of the debt to them from the original creditor.

3. Inaccurate Reporting : Based on the lack of sufficient evidence, I contend that the information provided to you by the creditor does not comply with the standards of accuracy required by both the FCRA and FDCPA.

Accordingly, I hereby request that you immediately initiate an investigation into the validity of this collection account. If the creditor is unable to substantiate the debt and its ownership, I demand the prompt removal of the account from my credit report. Should this information remain on my report without adequate validation, it will constitute a violation of my rights under the FCRA and FDCPA, for which I will consider pursuing all legal remedies available to me. 

Please provide me with a written response upon the completion of your investigation and inform me of the outcome of your inquiry. Should you require further documentation or information to process this dispute, I am prepared to provide any necessary materials. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
Experian 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 Experian, 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 Experian 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 Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.
