Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this follow-up complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) regarding Equifax Information Services LLC 's ( Equifax ) repeated failure to respond to my inquiries, as detailed in complaint IDs XXXX and XXXX. Equifax has consistently avoided answering my direct questions regarding the identity of the creditors responsible for unauthorized address changes on my credit file. Specifically, I request that Equifax disclose ( 1 ) the creditor who initiated the false and unauthorized address change on XX/XX/year>, which altered my address to an out-of-state location, and ( 2 ) the creditor who initiated the false and unauthorized address change on XX/XX/year>, which assigned my credit file an unserviceable building address without a unit number. Despite multiple disputes filed under complaint numbers XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX, Equifax has repeatedly failed to provide the requested information, which is critical for me to take further appropriate actions. Attached to this complaint are my W-2 form and a recent utility bill for identity and address verification. I urge the CFPB to compel Equifax to provide the requested information promptly. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint regarding the continued reporting of bankruptcy and associated accounts by TRANSUNION, despite their failure to properly verify the accuracy of this information. TRANSUNION failed to properly investigate and verify the accuracy of the bankruptcy, and its associated accounts reported on my credit file. Despite filing a formal dispute and citing violations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), the credit bureau has not provided adequate verification, sources, or documentation, nor have they removed the inaccurate and unverifiable information from my report. 
1.Failure to Verify Records : Under FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), credit bureaus must conduct a reasonable investigation into disputed information. TRANSUNION failed to provide documentation or identify the source of the bankruptcy records after my initial dispute. Courts do not report bankruptcy information directly to credit bureaus, and no legitimate verification source has been disclosed. 
2.Lack of Source Disclosure ( FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 7 ) ) : I specifically requested the name of the source and details on how the information was verified. This information has not been provided, which violates FCRA requirements. 
3.Violation of FCRA and Privacy Rights : The continued reporting of this unverified bankruptcy violates my privacy and harms my financial well-being. FCRA 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ) entitles me to a description of the process and sources used to verify the records, which has not been provided.

4.Reporting Unauthorized Information ( FCRA 1681b ) : The inclusion of this bankruptcy in my credit report lacks permissible purpose and violates my privacy rights. I did not authorize its dissemination.

5.Failure to Validate Debt ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ) : If the bankruptcy data was sourced from a third-party debt collector, no validation has been provided to support its accuracy. 
6.TILA Violations ( 15 U.S.C. 1640 ) : The continued reporting of inaccurate and unverifiable credit information violates provisions of the Truth in Lending Act, causing harm to my creditworthiness. 

The inaccurate reporting of this bankruptcy has caused significant damage to my credit score, limiting my access to financial opportunities and causing undue stress. The continued noncompliance of this credit reporting agency further exacerbates this harm. 

Supporting Documents : previous dispute letter submitted to TRANSUNION. 
Proof of address, Id, and Social Security Thank you for addressing this matter promptly
