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 promptly stating the account is accurate, but there is no evidence of a thorough investigation. This is a violation of FCRA, 15 USC 1681i, which mandates reasonable investigation. The actions by Equifax also interfere with regulations under CFPA, 12 USC 5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted by the administrative proceeding ( File number 2025-CFPB-0002 ) for a similar violation. I request the CFPB take action to ensure Equifax complies with the federal law and provides necessary proof of investigation.

To do what is fair to me as a consumer, delete and update my credit report as they are reporting inaccurate information that I have made them aware of but still keep reporting!

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal dispute regarding multiple violations of my consumer rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I demand immediate correction and removal of the following inaccurate and unverified information from my credit report : 1. Invalid and Unverified Debt ( FDCPA Violations ) Under 15 U.S. Code 1692g, I am disputing the listed accounts as they have not been properly validated under the FDCPA. Your failure to provide legal validation means you can not report or collect on these accounts, and they must be removed immediately. 

2. Incorrect Late Payment Remarks ( FCRA Violations ) Under 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1666b, I am disputing inaccurate late payment remarks on the following accounts. These accounts were paid on time, and the false reporting of late payments is a violation of FCRA and TILA. I demand that these remarks be removed immediately to ensure the accuracy of my credit file.

3. Unauthorized Hard Inquiries ( FCRA Violations ) I have reviewed my credit report and found multiple hard inquiries that I did not authorize. According to FCRA regulations, if an inquiry was not explicitly authorized by me, it must be removed immediately. 

Additionally, I have already filed a formal complaint with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) under Reference XXXX  regarding these violations. If this matter is not resolved promptly, I will escalate my complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and consider further legal action to protect my rights. 

I expect a written response and correction within the legally required timeframe. Failure to comply may result in additional legal consequences.

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

" " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law. '' '' "

Complaint narrative:
Experian and Equifax has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit R Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian and Equifax, 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 and Equifax 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 and Equifax inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Complaint narrative:
This is now my third formal dispute regarding the fraudulent and inaccurate reporting of my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  on my TransUnion credit report, and I am beyond outraged. I have had enough of TransUnions blatant negligence, willful misconduct, and outright refusal to fix this clear-cut error. Despite multiple disputes and more than enough time to correct them, TransUnion continues to knowingly misreport my payment history, while my payment status correctly shows " Paid or paying as agreed. '' TransUnion is intentionally fabricating a false late payment history, even though XXXX and XXXX show no such thing. This is not an oversight or a clerical mistakethis is willful, deliberate misconduct. Under 15 USC 1666b ( a ), a payment made on time CAN NOT be reported as late, yet TransUnion continues to brazenly ignore federal law and knowingly publish false, damaging information on my credit report. This is a direct violation of 15 USC 1681e ( b ), which mandates TransUnion to use reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracya standard it has repeatedly and knowingly failed to meet. TransUnions refusal to conduct a lawful reinvestigation, as explicitly required under 15 USC 1681s-2 ( b ) and 15 USC 1681i ( a ), further confirms its reckless disregard for my consumer rights. This is not just gross negligencethis is willful noncompliance, and I will no longer tolerate it. TransUnion is now in direct violation of multiple federal laws, including 15 USC 1666b ( a ), 15 USC 1681e ( b ), 15 USC 1681s-2 ( b ), 15 USC 1681i ( a ), 15 USC 1681n , 15 USC 1681o , and 12 USC 5531 . Under 15 USC 1681n, TransUnion is legally liable for statutory damages of up to {$1000.00} per violation, and given its repeated, ongoing violations, these penalties continue to accrue daily. Additionally, under 15 USC 1681o, TransUnion is responsible for actual damages, as its false reporting has directly caused financial harm, credit damage, and emotional distress. Its failure to comply with 12 USC 5531 further proves its deliberate refusal to uphold fair and legal credit dispute handling.
