Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint against Equifax for their failure to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and for their negligent handling of my credit dispute. Despite my efforts to request verification of inaccurate information on my credit report, Equifax has failed to provide proper documentation or remove unverifiable accounts, violating my rights under federal law. 

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( Procedure in Case of Disputed Accuracy ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( Permissible Purpose of Consumer Reports ), Equifax is required to conduct a reasonable investigation and provide verification of disputed information. However, they failed to comply with these obligations and continued to report inaccurate information, which is a direct violation of the FCRA. 

Furthermore, XXXX negligence in failing to properly investigate and correct the inaccuracies on my credit report constitutes a violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681o ( Civil Liability for Negligence ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681n ( Civil Liability for Willful Non-Compliance ). This negligence has negatively impacted my creditworthiness and caused undue financial harm.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to bring to your attention that I am cognizant of the unlawful practices you have been employing, wherein you consistently respond to consumer disputes and challenges with generic form letters, regardless of the specific details provided by the individuals. It is imperative to note that such actions are in clear violation of 15 U.S. Code 5 1681i, which mandates that each dispute and challenge must be individually addressed based on its own merits. The letters I have submitted were generated utilizing software that is readily accessible to all. In the event that you fail to address my letters accordingly, it would signify a violation of my consumer rights. I perceive this disregard as a deliberate transgression against my rights, and thus, I intend to seek legal counsel to initiate appropriate legal measures.
