Complaint narrative:
" I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about!

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Complaint narrative:
Complaint Regarding Unvalidated Debt Reporting by XXXX XXXX XXXX Dear CFPB, I am filing this complaint regarding a tradeline being reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX that I have disputed multiple times with both the debt collector and the credit reporting agencies ( XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax ). 

Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to request validation of an alleged debt, and credit bureaus are required to conduct reasonable investigations into consumer disputes. I submitted timely written requests for validation of this debt to XXXX XXXX XXXX, including supporting documentation. To date, XXXX XXXX has never responded to my request. 

Despite the lack of response or proof of validation, the credit bureaus continue to report this tradeline. I included documentation of my request to XXXX in my disputes with XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax, but all three responded that the debt had been " verified '' despite the complete lack of evidence from XXXX. 

This clearly suggests that the credit reporting agencies did not conduct a reasonable investigation, as required by law. A reasonable investigation would have shown that no validation or supporting documentation was ever provided by the furnisher of the information. 

To make matters worse, Equifax has requested extremely sensitive personal documents from meincluding a copy of my ID, full SSN, marriage certificate, and proof of address. I provided this information twice, and I have still received no update or response. I am deeply concerned about the sensitivity of the data Ive provided with no communication or resolution in return. 

I am attaching my formal dispute letter to all three agencies, XXXX XXXX, and Equifax, and my latest attempt to contact XXXX XXXX XXXX directly. 

Requested Resolution : XXXX removal of the XXXX XXXX XXXX tradeline from my credit file with all XXXX  major credit bureaus. 

A full investigation into the failure of the credit bureaus to reasonably verify this debt. 

An inquiry into XXXX XXXX XXXX continued reporting of a debt they have failed to validate. 

I respectfully request the CFPB to take appropriate action to ensure my consumer rights are protected under the FDCPA and FCRA. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX Mobile, AL XXXX XXXX : XX/XX/year> Last XXXX of XXXX : XXXX Email : XXXX Phone : XXXX

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Dispute Regarding Personal Loan Application and Request for Resolution Dear Citibank, I am writing to formally dispute the handling of my recent personal loan application. As a long-standing customer of XXXX over XXXX decade of history across personal loans, credit, and checking accountsI was surprised and disappointed by the lack of awareness and support demonstrated by your representatives. 
Despite my established relationship with Citi, I was asked to provide IRS Form XXXX and other personal documentation without any acknowledgment of the financial records already on file. Your support team was unable to explain why this was necessary or how my existing Citi data was insufficient for income verification. 
I am willing to submit any required forms through your secure online portal if absolutely necessary. However, I strongly question the need for such a request in the case of a client with a proven, long-term financial history with your institution. 
If this matter is not resolved promptly and fairly, I reserve the right to escalate the issue through formal regulatory channels, including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). 
Please respond to this letter within XXXX business days from the date above.
