Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Experian, Equifax, and Transunion 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-CFPB-0002 ) against them for similar violations. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Equifax complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation. In accordance with the fair credit Reporting act convergent account, has violated my rights.

15 USC 1681 Section 602 States I have the right to privacy.

15 USC 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 : It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish a account without my written instructions.

15 USC 1666B : A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint to request the deletion of a specific account from my credit report with Experian Information Solutions XXXX due to inaccurate and inconsistent information, based on my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). 
Details of the Account in Dispute : Account Number : XXXX Creditor Name : XXXXXXXX XXXX Incorrect information identified in reports from all three credit bureaus. 
Legal Grounds for Information Deletion : Right to Accurate Information ( FCRA, Section 609 - 15 U.S.C. 1681g ) : I request that the authenticity of this account be manually verified with the original creditor, rather than relying on the automated e-OSCAR system, and that I receive a detailed explanation of the verification process.

Reinvestigation of Disputed Information ( FCRA, Section 611 - 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) : Under this section, I demand a full reinvestigation of the account and immediate correction of any inaccurate information.

Deletion of Inaccurate or Unverified Information ( FCRA, Section 611 ( 5 ) - 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( 5 ) ) : In accordance with the FCRA, if the information can not be verified, it must be removed from the report.

Responsibility of Information Furnishers ( FCRA, Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ) : The creditors inability to validate this information warrants its removal.

Compliance with Accuracy Procedures ( FCRA, Section 607 - 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ) : The inaccuracy in my report suggests a failure to adhere to required accuracy procedures.

Permissible Purposes for Access ( FCRA, Section 604 - 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) : I request confirmation that access to my report was legitimate. If it was not, I request the removal of any unauthorized data. 
Truth in Lending Act ( XXXXILA, Section 1601 - 15 U.S.C. 1601 ) : TILA reinforces my right to accurate information, and the presence of this inaccurate account contradicts that right. 

Supporting Case Law : In Cortez v. Trans Union, LLC ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ), the responsibility of credit bureaus to adequately investigate consumer disputes is emphasized. XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX further reinforces the obligation to maintain reasonable procedures to ensure accuracy.
