Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
" I am disputing inaccuracies on my credit report and requesting the immediate removal of specific accounts and items. These inaccuracies include unauthorized negative entries, incorrect addresses, and hard inquiries reported without my consent. These actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which requires consumer reporting agencies to block or delete information reported without written consent.

You have failed to ensure maximum possible accuracy, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). The reporting of unauthorized data also breaches 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which governs permissible purposes for obtaining and reporting consumer data. The inaccuracies have caused harm to my creditworthiness, and despite providing documentation, these errors remain uncorrected.

Complaint narrative:
Have submitted complaints to XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion, concerning a XXXX XXXX account on my credit report that is against fcra regulations and not only is the account closed and they wrote it off but they also have a balance of {$380.00} on a credit limit of {$300.00}. This is completely wrong because there's no way you can have that much over each on that type of limit. They do not want to adhere to the law and remove it they just do a quick access of it and put it back as verified when it's not verified because the amounts are wrong all they have to do is look at it. I'm not being mean or trying to sound mean by no means. I'm asking that you get after these people and make them get this off my credit because it's destroying what little bit of a credit score I have. Thank you for your time.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
Equifax has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Equifax, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Equifax has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Equifax 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information that remains on my credit report despite previous disputes filed with your agency.

To comply with the FCRA and rectify the inaccuracies on my credit report, l demands the following : A detailed written explanation of the outcome of the reinvestigation, explicitly verifying the disputed information remaining.
