Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
Im submitting this complaint against XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX  due to their total disregard for my consumer rights under the FCRA/FCBA/FDCPA. For several months now, I've been disputing inaccurate and unverifiable information showing up on my credit report by this company. I have requested intimate information about the alleged accounts, including a copy of an agreement with my signature on it, but I have yet to receive anything. These companies continue to electronically verify these " ghost '' accounts without providing any legally binding evidence, such as a signed contract and complete accounting of the record, as required by law. They're clearly lying and thus the reason Im asking for proof. However, these companies refuse to provide it, which is not right and is not compliant with the FCRA/FDCPA. Im absolutely fed up. My life has been in complete ruin as a result of this. It's causing enormous mental and financial distress, preventing me from getting approved from credit that I am rightfully entitled to, and not to mention the ample amount of time that I must take out to try and resolve this matter myself. This has brought a great deal of harm to my family as a whole as well. Ive just had enough! Please help! I hope to hear from you soon.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2021 I sent a letter re : inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report. It has been over 60 days and I have not received a response yet. I feel like I am being ignored and taken advantage of regarding my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) clearly states that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. It has been over 60 days so they should be promptly deleted.I am distressed that you have included the information below in my credit profile and that you have failed to maintain reasonable procedures in your operations to assure maximum possible accuracy in the credit reports you publish. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information. Furthermore, In accordance with The Fair Credit Reporting Act, Public law 91-506, Title VI, Section 611, Subsection A-D, please provide the names and business addresses of each individual with whom you verified the above, so that I may follow up. Every step must be taken to assure the information reported is completely accurate and correct. The following information therefore needs to be re-investigated. This has really caused me a lot of stress and strain and I demand that these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation. My information was also impacted by the Equifax  data breach and may have gotten into the hands of the wrong person.
