Consumer complaint received 2025-03-19 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
Received a call today at XXXX XXXX from ( XXXX ) XXXX, which is the official number for the New Jersey Division of Taxes . The caller ID showed NJ DIV TAX, but I've never lived or worked in NJ so I let it go to voicemail. 

Listening to the voicemail, there was a message from a XXXX who was looking for two people, one who shared my last name, but I don't know either of them. The message was about a " private business matter '' and they left a number to call back ( XXXX ) XXXX. 

I called them and it turned out to be some debt consolidation company, by which I assume they meant debt collectors considering they spoofed the NJ Government number. XXXX was not available, but I let the receptionist know to not call me again as I held no debt with no them.

Complaint narrative:
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 5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPB 's recent administrative proceeding ( File No. 2025-CGPB-0002 ) against them for similar violations. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Equifax complies with the Federal Law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation.
