Complaint narrative:
Recent findings by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) have highlighted major concerns regarding Equifaxs failu

re to conduct proper investigations. The CFPB has alleged in a lawsuit that Equifax violated consumer protection laws by performing inadequate investigations, failing to meet its obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). According to 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), Equifax is required to conduct a complete reinvestigation of disputed items within 30 days. Additionally, under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ), any inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information must be corrected or removed promptly. Failure to comply with these requirements constitutes a violation of federal law.

I am disputing the following unresolved negative items on my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - {$550.00} Despite my repeated disputes and submission of all necessary documentation, these items remain unverified. This inaction has caused significant financial harm and emotional distress. 

As guaranteed by the FCRA, I am entitled to an accurate credit report. I request immediate action to verify or remove these items to resolve this ongoing violation of my rights.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NM

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Experian for failing to conduct a proper investigation into my disputes and instead accusing me of using an unauthorized third party to submit my requests. On two separate occasions, I mailed dispute letters to Experian, disputing inaccurate accounts on my credit report. I made sure to include copies of my photo ID, social security card, and a recent bill with my current address to verify my identity. 
The first letter was mailed on XX/XX/2024 ( XXXX certified mail tracking number XXXX ), and I received a response dated XX/XX/2024 via mail. 
The second letter was mailed on XX/XX/2024, and I received a response via mail dated XX/XX/2024. 
In both responses, Experian stated : " We received a recent request regarding your credit information that does not appear to have been sent directly by you or to be authorized by you. As a precautionary measure, we have not taken any action on your alleged request. '' According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Experian is required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of any disputed information in a consumer 's file. It appears that Experian has violated my consumer rights by failing to investigate my disputes and falsely accusing me of using an unauthorized third party.
