Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I disputed the XXXX XXXX collection on XX/XX/2025 using Equifax 's online portal. I attached a dispute letter, my ID, and a bill with my address. Equifax marked it verified and updated but never provided validation. I requested, under FDCPA 809 and FCRA 609 & 611, a signed contract with my signature, an itemized statement, proof of assignment, a license to collect in Maryland, and documents used to verify the debt. I received no response and nothing was provided. This violates my rights. I will also be mailing a civil complaint to Equifaxs legal department demanding deletion, a debt waiver, and legal remedies for noncompliance. I will attach my EQUIFAX REPORT with the results after investigation.

Complaint narrative:
am filing this complaint because Equifax has failed to properly correct inaccurate and outdated information on my credit report, despite multiple disputes. The accounts in question include charge-offs and collection items that are either : Duplicated across multiple agencies ( e.g., XXXXXXXX XXXX and XXXXXXXX XXXX ), Reporting incorrect or stale payment histories ( e.g., XXXX & XXXX ), Or have been disputed with no documentation provided in return ( e.g., XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX 

These errors continue to damage my credit profile and violate my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), including Section 611 regarding reinvestigation of disputes and Section 609 regarding disclosure of information.

I have provided Equifax with dispute letters and supporting documentation, but they either failed to respond adequately or continued reporting incorrect data. I am requesting that the CFPB step in to facilitate a correction or removal of these items.

I am attaching copies of : My dispute letters The relevant portion of my Equifax credit report Proof of identity and address
