Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently raised concerns about Equifaxs failure to properly investigate consumer disputes. In fact, a lawsuit has been filed alleging that Equifax has violated consumer protection laws by not fulfilling its obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

As per federal regulations ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), Equifax is required to conduct a full reinvestigation of disputed items within 30 days and remove any information that is inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable. Failing to do so is a direct violation of federal law. 

I am disputing the following negative entries on my credit report : XX/XX/XXXXXXXX - {$0.00} XX/XX/XXXX - XXXX XXXX {$3300.00} Even after multiple disputes and my submission of all required documentation, these items remain unverified. This inaction has caused me financial harm and unnecessary stress. 

I have a right under the FCRA to an accurate credit report. Please take the necessary steps to resolve this matter immediately.

XX/XX/scrub>XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX TX XXXX Email : XXXX Phone : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX To Whom It May Concern : I am writing to formally dispute a charge-off that appears on my credit report. This entry is inaccurate and violates multiple provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and other federal regulations.

According to 15 U.S.C. 1681i, credit reporting agencies are required to conduct a reasonable investigation when a consumer disputes the accuracy of information on their credit report. The charge-off listed in my report is incorrect and should be removed. 

Additionally, I believe the following laws have been violated : 15 U.S. Code 6802 Obligations regarding the disclosure of personal information.

U.S. Code 6803 Disclosure of privacy policies to protect consumers.

15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Requirement for credit reporting agencies to ensure maximum possible accuracy of the information reported.

15 U.S. Code 1681a ( d ) ( 2 ) Exclusion of certain transactions from credit reports.

18 U.S. Code 1028A Aggravated identity theft. 
These violations have caused harm and inaccuracies in my credit report, affecting my creditworthiness and legal process. I kindly request that Experian perform a comprehensive investigation, verify the accuracy of the charge-off with the original creditor, and remove it if it can not be verified or is proven to be inaccurate. 

Please send me an updated copy of my credit report once the investigation is complete. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to your response and resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Complaint Regarding Improper Medical Bill Reporting on Credit Report Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to formally submit a complaint regarding the improper reporting of a medical bill on my credit report. This matter concerns Credit Management Company and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and its inaccurate or unfair reporting practices. 

Upon reviewing my credit report from [ Credit Bureau ( s ) - XXXX, XXXX, and/or XXXX ] XXXX I discovered that a medical debt in the amount of {$1300.00} has been reported. Stating it was opened XX/XX/XXXXXX/XX/XXXX. I believe this entry is inaccurate for the following reasons : Incorrect Reporting : The debt may not belong to me, or the reported details ( amount, dates, or status ) may be inaccurate.

Failure to Provide Proper Validation : Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), They have failed to provide sufficient proof that the debt is valid or that they have the legal authority to report it.

Medical Debt Reporting Rules : As per the CFPBs guidelines and recent regulatory changes, medical debts should not be reported on credit reports. Additionally, unpaid medical debt should not appear if it is being disputed with the insurance provider.

Potential Violation of the No Surprises Act : If this bill is the result of balance billing from an out-of-network provider, it may be in violation of the No Surprises Act.

Given these issues, I request the CFPB to investigate this matter and ensure the reporting agency complies with federal laws. Furthermore, I am requesting the immediate removal of this inaccurate or unverified account from my credit report. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) finalized a rule prohibiting the inclusion of medical debts on consumer credit reports. This rule also bars lenders from considering medical information when making lending decisions.

The rule aims to prevent debt collectors from using the credit reporting system to coerce individuals into paying medical bills they may not owe and to enhance consumer privacy protections. It reflects findings that medical debts provide little predictive value regarding a borrower 's ability to repay other debts.

Thank you for your time and assistance in resolving this matter. Please keep me informed of any updates regarding my complaint. Should you require additional information, feel free to contact me.

Complaint narrative:
I sent the following letter to Chase Card Services and XXXX to dispute and request removal of the late payments they are reporting to the credit bureaus : XXXX/XXXX/2025 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX Re : Acct : XXXX XXXX To Whom It May Concern : This letter is a formal dispute and request to remove late payments from my credit report. The information is incorrect, untrue, and the laws pertaining to furnishers reporting late payments is quite clear. I have outlined it below : Section 623 ( a ) ( 7 ) requires a financial institution that regularly reports negative information to nationwide CRAs to provide one clear and conspicuous written notice of that practice to consumers, no later than 30 days after first reporting such information. My research has found this notice is typically found on monthly statements, however : 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 - Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies ( 7 ) Negative information ( E ) Use of notice without submitting negative information No provision of this paragraph shall be construed as requiring a financial institution that has provided a customer with a notice described in subparagraph ( A ) to furnish negative information about the customer to a consumer reporting agency.

Additionally, FTC Advisory Opinion to Harris ( 03-22-99 ) states : Section 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA addresses the duty to correct and update information by furnishers, or persons who furnish information to consumer reporting agencies ( CRA ) such as credit bureaus. This opinion goes on to address the reporting of late payments stating this provision requires a furnisher to provide corrected or updated information to the consumer reporting agency that it had reported to originally regardless of whether they ( the late payments ) were accurate at one point, because the section requires the furnisher both to update accounts as well as to correct.

As you can see the law and FTC opinion state that you, the furnisher, are NOT legally bound to report negative information. Please refrain from continuing to report the late payments on my credit reports. The account is current, and thus, you have a duty to correct and update the negative reporting of late payments. 
My contact information is as follows : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX Last 4 of SSN : XXXX P.S. If needed, I will also provide a copy of this letter to the organizations below : CC : Consumer Financial Protection Bureau CC : Attorney Generals Office CC : XX/XX/XXXX

I am formally disputing the following negative items on my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX {$4000.00}XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX {$13000.00} These entries remain unverified and questionable. Despite multiple attempts to have these inaccuracies properly investigated and resolved, no meaningful action has been taken.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a fair and accurate credit report, including the removal of unverifiable or incorrect information. I urge you to take immediate steps to verify and rectify these items, as failure to do so constitutes a violation of my rights under federal law.
