Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Equifax due to their failure to respond to my dispute letters within the required timeframe, which is a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
On XX/XX/year>, I mailed two dispute letters to Equifax via XXXX certified mail. The first letter, with tracking number XXXX, was delivered on XX/XX/year>. In this letter, I requested an investigation into the following inaccurate items on my report : XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and Public Record Reference Number : XXXX. Additionally, I disputed the following incorrect personal information : Incorrect Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX. Please remove it from my credit report. Incorrect Addresses : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, CT, XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, CT, XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, CT, XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, CT, XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX, CT, XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, CT, XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, CT, XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, CT, XXXX. 
The second letter, with tracking number XXXX, was also delivered on XX/XX/year>. In this letter, I disputed the item XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and specifically requested Equifax to provide their method of verification. I asked for the specific date on which they initiated contact with the creditor regarding the disputed item, the complete contact information for the creditor including their business name, address, and any available telephone numbers, the full name of the individual at the creditor 's end who verified the accuracy of the disputed information, and the method ( s ) through which they communicated with the creditor to verify the accuracy of the disputed item ( e.g., phone, email, mail ). I also requested confirmation of whether the creditor supplied any sensitive personal information, such as Social Security Number, address, and date of birth, during the verification process. 
Despite providing all necessary documentation, including a copy of my photo ID, social security card, and a recent bill with my current address to help Equifax verify my identity and address, I have not received any response from Equifax regarding these disputes. 
According to the FCRA, if the completeness or accuracy of any item of information in a consumer 's file at a credit bureau is disputed by the consumer, the bureau must conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate. It appears that Equifax has violated my consumer rights by not conducting a reasonable investigation upon receipt of my disputes, which they are required to do in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 
I am including a copy of my dispute letters sent to Equifax, along with XXXX certified mail proof of delivery, as evidence.

Company response to consumer: Closed with non-monetary relief
