Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/23 Experian stated Per your request to conduct a reinvestigation, we contacted the data furnisher ( s ) for disputed items on your Experian credit report and asked them to verify the accuracy of the information with which you disagree. They responded and verified that the remaining disputed information was accurate as reported. Other aspects of the disputed item ( s ) may have also been updated by the data furnisher ( s ). The results summary was sent to you for review. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681 I request proof of the furnisher name and business. This is a stall tactic that Experian claims to have verified. I'm not credit repair company nor hired one. The only furnisher of this information is the federal bankruptcy courts. EXPERIAN ALREADY REMOVED 4 INACCURATE BANKRUPTCY INFORMATION FROM MY CREDIT REPORTING BUT CLAIMS THIS IS ACCURATE FROM THE FEDERAL BANKRUPTCY COURTS. HOW CAN YOU REMOVE Experian remove 4 OUT OF 5 AND CLAIM 1 IS ACCURATE? THIS PROVES TO BE A LIE FROM EXPERIAN Once again!

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax, a nationwide credit reporting agency, for their gross violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), and California Consumer Law. Equifax 's response to my debt validation request, dated [ Date ], has disregarded my consumer rights, causing significant financial and emotional harm. 

On XX/XX/2023, I submitted a debt validation request to Equifax, disputing inaccurate information on my credit file. In response to my request, Equifax replied with a letter dated XX/XX/2023, in which they stated that the information provided as proof of my identity did not match the information on my credit file. Consequently, they demanded additional documentation to verify my identity and current address, despite my provision of legally recognized proofs of identity, such as my California identification and Social Security card. 

Equifax 's request for additional documentation beyond what is reasonable for identity verification constitutes a clear violation of the FCRA. The Act requires credit reporting agencies to conduct a prompt and reasonable investigation upon receiving a dispute, ensuring the accuracy of the information they maintain. Equifax 's actions, however, suggest a deliberate attempt to stall the validation process, causing undue hardship and financial strain. 

Moreover, Equifax 's refusal to validate the disputed items on my credit report has unjustly denied me credit opportunities, leading to adverse effects on my financial standing and overall lifestyle. My ability to secure loans, obtain reasonable interest rates, and find suitable housing has been severely impeded, resulting in significant financial strain and emotional distress. 

Equifax 's actions also raise concerns about potential violations of California Consumer Law. Under California Civil Code 1788.50 ( g ), I have the right to request " validation '' of the debt. Validation entails credit reporting agencies, such as Equifax, providing specific information about the debt, including the nature and amount of the debt, the name of the original creditor, and verification that I am responsible for the debt. Equifax 's failure to adhere to this requirement constitutes a violation of my rights under California Consumer Law.
