Consumer complaint received 2025-11-04 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report.

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing this letter to you because I feel extremely upset and I need to block, delete, or dispute all incorrect information in my credit report obtained from Transunion. In order to exercise my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 USC 1681i, which states that it is your duty to provide me with all actions you took to verify the data in my credit report. If you can not verify the items I am requesting to block, delete, or dispute, it is your obligation to remove them from my credit report immediately. 
Furthermore, under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( 15 USC 6802 ), I have an essential right to privacy regarding my financial information. Additionally, 15 USC 1681 ( 4 ) under the FCRA states the importance of maintaining my privacy as a consumer in credit reports.

Without legal function, as shown in 15 USC 1681b ( 2 ), it has been established that Experian shouldn't have a credit report on my behalf. Transunion has neither my permission nor a valid purpose to disclose my credit report containing my personal information. The absence of such a purpose makes the presence of this information a violation of my privacy rights, which is very frustrating for me.

I can also add, 18 USC 1028a which talks about identity theft and its associated penalties, emphasizing that identity theft is a serious crime. Furthermore, by using my personal information without my authorization, it is a criminal act against my privacy and they are violating my rights as a consumer.

According to the law 15 USC 1681c-2, credit reporting agencies are required to block information that results from identity theft. The transactions in question were not conducted by me. If my information has been compromised due to identity theft, I expect Transunion to take all necessary action to correct and block this information as ordered by law. 
Moreover, this means I request a formal investigation into my dispute and the removal of any incorrect information from Transunion records if it is determined that no permissible purpose exists for maintaining this information. I expect Transunion to comply with the FCRA, 18 USC 1028a, and 15 USC 1681c-2 to fix any issues related to identity theft.

I hope for a prompt response to this situation in the next 30 days, along with the results of your investigation. If my report is not corrected or removed in accordance with the law, I will take legal action. This is happening to me, causing my mental health to diminish and a constant turmoil of emotions.

Complaint narrative:
This is my second request for reinvestigation regarding inaccurate information that continues to appear on my credit report, despite a prior dispute and a previous filing with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). The credit reporting company and/or furnisher previously claimed the items were verified, but no original source documentation or evidence of verification was ever provided.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 611 ( a ), credit reporting agencies are required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of any disputed information and delete or correct data that can not be verified. The ongoing reporting of inaccurate and unverifiable information demonstrates noncompliance with these federal requirements and a failure to uphold my consumer rights. 

I have made good faith efforts to resolve this matter through proper dispute channels, yet the same errors remain. This continued inaccuracy has negatively impacted my credit standing and access to credit opportunities. I am now demanding a full reinvestigation and deletion of all unverifiable or inaccurate entries to ensure my credit report reflects only accurate, complete, and verifiable information.

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission id-entity theft affidavit. Please find it in your best interest to delete the items. 


I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case. 


Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified.

15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report.

15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any. 
information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.

15 U.S. Code 1681 Section B ( i ) - Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material - If a consumer reporting agency removes information from someone's credit file based on the requirements in the preceding section ( A ), the agency can not re-add or reinsert that previously deleted information back into the person 's file unless the entity that originally provided that information certifies that it is complete and accurate.

Complaint narrative:
I am requesting a reinvestigation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 611 ( a ) regarding multiple accounts that remain inaccurately reported and unverified on my credit report. These items were previously disputed, but the investigation results failed to include any verifiable documentation from the original creditor or furnisher confirming their accuracy.

Despite my prior dispute, the same accounts continue to appear with errors or unverifiable information, indicating that the previous investigation was incomplete or not conducted in compliance with FCRA requirements. The credit reporting company and/or furnisher has not provided original account-level evidence, billing statements, or signed agreements to substantiate the validity of these accounts.

The continued reporting of unverifiable information has negatively affected my creditworthiness and access to credit. I am now demanding that a full reinvestigation be conducted and that all unverifiable or inaccurate accounts be deleted immediately to ensure compliance with federal law and the accuracy of my consumer report.
