Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>2025, I mailed a formal dispute letter to Equifax via XXXX Certified Mail, tracking # XXXX. The dispute included all legally required identity verification documentsa copy of my government-issued photo ID, Social Security card , and a recent utility bill with my current address. In this letter, I requested a full investigation into inaccurate information on my credit report and the correction of erroneous personal details, as required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
XXXX tracking confirms Equifax received my dispute on XX/XX/scrub> 2025. Under the FCRA, Equifax is obligated to conduct a reasonable investigation, correct or delete inaccurate information, and provide the results to the consumer within 30 days of receipt. To date, Equifax has provided no acknowledgment, no investigation results, and no updatesdemonstrating a blatant disregard for its statutory obligations. This unlawful delay is preventing me from correcting harmful inaccuracies that may be impacting my creditworthiness and financial opportunities.

As evidence supporting my claim, I have attached a copy of my dispute letter sent to Equifax, along with the XXXX certified mail proof of delivery.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On the morning of XX/XX/XXXX, I woke up to a message on my phone from PayPal. It was asking if I had authorized a payment for {$710.00}. I was surprised as I had no knowledge of what was going on. I replied no and was directed to PayPal to secure my account, which I immediately did. I noticed the amount listed above on my account and I checked my bank account and saw an ACH charge for this amount, but there wasnt a hold on the account for any money. At this point I moved all the money in this account to another account to protect what was there. I spoke to my bank ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and they confirmed that nothing had been taken out. I next spoke to PayPal and opened a case regarding this issue as an unauthorized purchase. When Monday came, the amount bounced since I moved the money and my PayPal balance became - {$710.00}. I then received notice that they had determined that the purchase had been authorized and I was entitled to a copy of the material they used to determine the purchase was indeed authorized. So I replied that I wanted a copy of that documentation. I got a generic message back that did not provide that. I sent a second request asking for the documentation so I could speak to legal counsel with it. I got a message back saying they were looking into it further and the case was reopened. 

I called and spoke with someone else who told me that virtually all unauthorized complaints are denied and that we needed to change it to item was not received so they did. I have spoken to to them numerous times and the case has been closed in the sellers favor as the item was shipped and delivered. 

I have no idea what was ordered as I have ordered nothing. I do not live in XXXX, Tx ( The address shipped to, see attachments ) nor have I ever lived in XXXX. I do not know anyone there nor do I run a business and ship to others. 

I am not out any money at all, nor am I seeking any money. I am looking to have my PayPal account balance reset to what it was the day before this happened which was {$0.00}. I have been a loyal customer of PayPal for a number of years, though I am seriously rethinking that. 

I appreciate your time in this matter.

Company: W&A Intermediate Co., LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
After visiting the XXXX  back in XXXX of 2023, I had a medical bill that I only received 3 times throughout the span of 6 months. After each time receiving the bill, I requested proof of proper billing to both insurances I had, and never got proof even after contacting the medical billing department. Time goes by and I never got another notice of a bill or that a collections was placed on my name until I randomly see it on my credit report. The collections agency never contacted me to let me know they took it over, and even after contacting them to explain to them the situation, they outright told me I could do nothing as it was my fault I didnt take precautions during the grace period and that I still owed the money. Even after requesting proof that it was billed properly, I heard the collections agency person say what he saw on the bill and that it was never billed to any insurances at the time. Even after confirming what he said he said the only way I will get proof is if I send a hand written request to their main office and have to wait for approval, even while I already confirmed my identity. I even found an old copy of the medical bill that said on the bill, that it was not billed by an insurance and only billed to visitor, which was me. All while the medical department does not even have my file that I even visited in their system at all, I cant get a medical record at all either. I am being withheld information but being penalized.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing several inaccuracies currently appearing on my credit report, specifically unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate or approve. These entries represent a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly 15 U.S. Code 1681i, which requires a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates that information reported must be accurate to the maximum extent possible. In addition, I am disputing a potentially misreported late payment. According to 15 U.S.C. 1666b, creditors must allow at least 21 days between the statement date and the payment due date before classifying a payment as late. Based on my records, this standard may not have been met, or the payment was submitted on time and inaccurately reported as delinquent.

Furnisher : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Original creditor : XXXX XXXX ( auto loan, XXXX XXXX XXXX ). 
In its CFPB response, XXXX states the FCRA XXXX is XX/XX/XXXX, it purchased the account on XX/XX/XXXX, and on XX/XX/XXXX it requested deletion of its tradeline with all CRAs. 
Despite this, an XXXX collection tradeline remains on my Experian file. Under FCRA 611 ( a ), Experian must conduct a reasonable reinvestigation and delete unverifiable/inaccurate information ; under 623 ( b ), the furnisher must correct/delete after notice. This isnt about balance/amountits about continued reporting after a deletion request.
