Consumer complaint received 2025-05-27 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, Equifax falsely verified a dismissed Chapter XXXX bankruptcy ( Case # XXXX ) that had already been removed by XXXX, their public records vendor. I provided evidence that the record no longer exists in XXXX and that XXXX had removed it. However, Equifax continues reporting it and has now blocked further disputes by labeling the item Dispute not available. 

On the same day, Equifax also verified a XXXX charge-off account ending in * XXXX, despite reporting a {$0.00} balance, transferred status, and no supporting ownership documentation. I requested verification details for both items, including the method of verification, documentation used, and furnisher identity. Equifax provided nothing. 

As of today, both items are still on my report, locked from further dispute. This violates FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), 611 ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ), 611 ( a ) ( 5 ), and 607 ( b ). I am requesting deletion of both items and a formal investigation into XXXX pattern of blocking disputes and verifying unverifiable data. 

Attached Evidence : XX/XX/year> Equifax dispute results PDF showing both accounts marked verified Screenshot of XXXX account showing Dispute not available Screenshot of Bankruptcy record showing Dispute not available Screenshot of XXXX definition of Dispute not available proving there is no open investigation These actions are required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I respectfully request enforcement action if Equifax does not comply.
