Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX, I discovered inaccuracies on my credit report provided by Equifax. The report listed several accounts that I never authorized and was unfamiliar with. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies such as Equifax have an obligation to provide accurate information and conduct thorough investigations when discrepancies are pointed out. 

Upon finding these inaccuracies, I promptly filed a complaint via the CFPB XXXX XXXX, demanding that Equifax investigate these accounts and provide proof of their veracity. In the same complaint, I cited 15 USC 1681-2, which explicitly states that an entity should not furnish inaccurate information to a consumer reporting agency. My intention was to resolve these inaccuracies swiftly, as they were affecting my credit score and could potentially lead to more significant financial issues. 

The disputed accounts included multiple XXXX XXXX  accounts ( with duplicate amounts ), a SABLE/CCB account and a XXXX XXXX XXXX account, amounting to tens of thousands of dollars. 

Equifax responded to my complaint by deleting two accounts from my credit file, which I appreciate. However, the remaining accounts were not addressed adequately. Equifax merely stated that these accounts have been " verified '' without providing any substantial evidence. Furthermore, they did not answer my question regarding their adherence to 15 USC 1681-2, leading me to believe that my rights under consumer law may have been violated.

As of today, Equifax has yet to show any proof from the debt collectors that verifies these disputed accounts. Neither have they shown any steps they took to ensure the accuracy of the information provided by these debt collectors. I find this lack of transparency concerning, especially given the potential impact on my credit score and financial stability.

I have reiterated my demands for these unauthorized accounts to be deleted from my credit file and for Equifax to provide clear, documented evidence for their verification. I also stated that if they fail to comply, I would seek legal recourse, including a small claims action against Equifax, for multiple violations including defamation of character, negligent enablement of identity fraud, and violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

I now anxiously await a satisfactory response within 5 days, including a revised and accurate credit report. Furthermore, I have also provided a legible and valid proof of my current address, which was previously deemed illegible by Equifax.

Equifax 's improper use of my consumer report has caused significant distress and financial inconvenience. The Fair Credit Reporting Act was designed to protect consumers like me, and I expect Equifax to uphold its obligations under this law.
