Complaint narrative:
I am writing to request assistance with multiple inaccuracies on my credit report that have adversely impacted my credit standing. Despite my efforts to resolve these issues directly with both creditors and credit reporting agencies, I have not received a satisfactory resolution. These inaccuracies include erroneous information regarding account details, duplicated accounts, outdated collection entries, incorrect open or closed account statuses, and unauthorized inquiries, all of which create a misleading portrayal of my creditworthiness. I kindly ask the CFPB to require the involved parties to correct, delete, or update the disputed information on my credit report in line with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), so that my credit report can reflect my accurate financial history. I am attaching supporting documents and I look forward to your assistance in resolving this matter promptly. Thank you for your attention to this request.

Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint against Equifax due to the negligent management of my credit report, which contains incorrect names and addresses associated with my credit profile. These inaccuracies, resulting from a lack of proper control and verification, constitute a violation of my rights as a consumer under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically under Sections 605, 609, and 604.

Upon reviewing my recent credit report, I discovered that Equifax listed information not associated with me, including incorrect names and addresses. This improper association of personal information has negatively impacted my credit profile and demonstrates that Equifax is failing to verify the accuracy of the information it maintains, as required by the FCRA. 
Specific Issues of Concern Negligent Association of Incorrect Data : Equifaxs records contain names and addresses unrelated to me, likely due to inadequate control and verification processes. This practice misleads lenders and harms consumers by falsely linking unrelated accounts and information.

Failure to Verify and Maintain Accurate Records ( FCRA Section 609 ) : As a consumer, I have the right to demand accuracy in my credit file. Equifaxs failure to ensure that only verified and accurate information is reported infringes upon my legal rights under Section 609 of the FCRA.

Non-Compliance with FCRA Section 605 : Equifax has also failed to provide evidence supporting the retention of employer information in my credit file, which I did not authorize and have no obligation to report.

Negligent Reporting of Unnecessary Data ( FCRA Section 604 ) : Equifax continues to retain unnecessary information, such as incorrect phone numbers and personal details, without legitimate cause. These actions result in the retention of irrelevant information and fail to comply with the law. 
I request that the CFPB investigate these issues promptly to ensure that Equifax : Removes all incorrect names, addresses, and any other data not directly verified as belonging to me. 
Implements measures to prevent these errors from recurring in the future. 
Verifies and maintains only accurate, legally authorized information in my credit file, as stipulated under FCRA regulations. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your swift action in enforcing compliance with FCRA guidelines and protecting my rights as a consumer. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
