Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: WV

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the improper investigation practices by the three major credit bureaus : XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax. I have been disputing inaccuracies on my credit report for nearly two years, specifically with accounts related to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and Bankruptcy. Despite multiple efforts on my part, these inaccuracies remain unresolved, and the accounts in question continue to appear incorrectly on my credit report. Even to the point where deleted items where reinserted back on my credit File.

Throughout this period, I have submitted numerous disputes and requests for detailed documentation explaining the steps taken to investigate my claims. I have repeatedly asked the credit bureaus to provide step-by-step records of how my disputes were processed and resolved, as required by law. To date, I have not received any of the requested documentation, nor has there been a meaningful resolution to my disputes.

The continued presence of these inaccurate accounts on my credit report has caused me significant emotional distress, as I believe my consumer rights have been violated. I have made every effort to resolve these issues, yet the credit bureaus have not adhered to proper protocols or responded in accordance with the regulations set forth under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and other applicable laws. This ongoing situation has made it incredibly difficult for me to manage my financial obligations and provide for my family, while also hindering my ability to obtain future credit. 
As I understand it, your recent lawsuit against XXXX filed on XX/XX/year>, highlights similar issues with the credit reporting industry. In light of this, I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) conduct a thorough investigation into this matter, ensuring that XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax are fulfilling their legal responsibilities. I am also considering legal action if these issues are not addressed appropriately and in a timely manner.

I respectfully ask for your attention to this matter and urge you to take action to ensure that my credit reports reflect 100 % accurate information, in accordance with the law within 15 days of receiving this complaint. Further due to the numerous claims and still the information on my report continues to report incorrectly. I am requesting these accounts be removed in 4 days.
