Consumer complaint received 2025-07-16 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint to request immediate intervention due to serious violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), and Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) by Equifax lnformation Services LLC. Despite previous requests for correction, these violations continue to negatively impact my credit report and financial standing.

Details of the Complaint : 9. Failure to Ensure Maximum Possible Accuracy The FCRA requires that credit bureaus and creditors ensure the accuracy of the information they report. My credit report contains inaccurate entries from 1 ) - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) -XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX that remain unverified despite formal disputes, causing significant harm to my credit score and credibility. Previous attempts to address these inaccuracies have been inadequately handled, demonstrating a failure to uphold FCRA standards for accuracy.

10. Inadequate Investigation and Reliance on Automated Verification Systems Under FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ) and 1681s-2, creditors and credit bureaus must conduct thorough investigations of disputed information. However, my previous disputes have been met with automated responses through systems like e-OSCAR, which fail to meet legal requirements for a complete investigation. This approach neglects a comprehensive review of the disputed entries, perpetuating inaccurate information on my report.

11. Non-Compliance with Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) Requirements As outlined in TILA, creditors must issue clear and accurate billing statements and disclose essential account information to consumers. Equifax lnformation Services LLC has not adhered to TILA requirements in handling my account, resulting in erroneous charges and inaccurate reporting. This failure to comply with TILA has compounded the inaccuracies on my credit report, further violating my rights as a consumer.

12. Violation of FDCPA Standards for Accuracy and Non-Deceptive Practices The FDCPA mandates that debt collectors and furnishers of information must report accurate, verifiable data. The accounts in question have been repeatedly reported inaccurately, with misleading information that has not been corrected despite my disputes, constituting a violation of FDCPA protections.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
After receiving a email from Equifax notifying me that my personal information has been compromised in their data breach. I discovered negative and unauthorized information on my credit report, I immediately contacted Experian, Equifax and TransUnion to dispute the items in question. I provided the necessary documentation to support my claim, explaining that these debts were not incurred by me and were a result of fraudulent activity linked to the Equifax breach. Despite my efforts, Experian, Transunion and Equifax denied my case, asserting that the information had been " verified '' and leaving the fraudulent entries on my credit report. This denial has caused significant distress, which have negatively affected my financial stability and mental well-being, as these negative marks are damaging my credit and financial standing. Specifically, I have faced multiple instances of being denied services, including credit applications and other essential opportunities. I believe that Experian, Transunion and Equifax has not fully investigated the potential identity theft tied to the Equitax breach and I am seeking further assistance to correct the errors on my report. I remain committed to resolving this matter and protecting my tinancial well-being.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint against [ LVNV Funding LLC ]XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act, specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ).

According to this section, consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to assure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. Unfortunately, the information currently appearing on my credit report is inaccurate and damaging, and I have reason to believe that [ LVNV Funding LLC ] has failed to meet this legal obligation. 

I have attempted to resolve this issue by disputing it directly with the credit reporting agency, and/or with the furnisher of the data. However, the problem has not been properly investigated or corrected, and the inaccurate information remains. 

This failure to ensure accuracy has caused harm to my creditworthiness, including denied credit, increased interest rates, and emotional distress. I request that the CFPB investigate this matter and hold LVNV Funding LLC in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
