Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and Transunion data breach.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding multiple accounts that have been improperly reported by EXPERIAN on my my credit report without providing me the option to dispute the debt, as is my right under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) required by XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( D ( 3 ), yet they have proceeded to place : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  # XXXX XXXX # XXXX accounts on my consumer report. This omission denies me the opportunity to verify the accuracy of the debt they claim I owe. 2. I have not been afforded the opportunity to dispute the account in accordance with 12 CER 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( 1 ). This denial of the dispute process deprives me of my right to challenge any inaccuracies or discrepancies regarding the alleged debts. 1.EXPERIAN has resorted to false, misleading, and deceptive means in their reporting efforts, thereby violating my consumer rights. Such unethical practices undermine the integrity of the debt collection process and cause undue distress to consumers. 2.Furthermore, the agency lacks the authority to furnish any account to consumer reporting agencies without adhering to the necessary disclosures mandated by law. By neglecting to fulfill their obligations under 12 CER 1006.34 ( d ) and 15 USC 1681-S 2 ( 7 ) ( A ). EXPERIAN is flagrantly disregarding consumer protection statutes. I did not receive any notice from : XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX XXXX # XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX XXXX # XXXX, accounts on my consumer report providing me the opportunity to dispute the validity of this debt within 30 days, as required by law. Additionally, I have attempted to submit supporting documents proving that my information was compromised in the Equifax breach and documents proving that I am a victim of identity theft. This has caused significant harm to my credit score and has resulted in undue financial and emotional stress. I kindly request that the CFPB investigate this matter, as I believe these accounts were reported without following the proper legal procedures. Additionally, I request that EXPERIAN remove these accounts from my credit report and cease all collection efforts immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt resolution of this complaint. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
