Consumer Narrative
My case relates to Equifax Confirmation # XXXX the alleged bankruptcy that is reporting on my credit report. I sent a dispute letter to Equifax XX/XX/21. Along with this dispute, I provided documents from the Courthouse Clerk that the bankruptcy court does not report to the credit bureau, A letter from XXXX that the bankruptcy was not verified and has been removed, and a copy of the letter that XXXX states their resource to verify bankruptcies is XXXX. I requested this item to be removed from my credit report because it does not comply with FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C 1681I ) and in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Equifax did not properly investigate my dispute and take in consideration of the supporting documents. In response, I received a letter on XX/XX/21, dated XX/XX/21 from Equifax stating the company has verified the information and has certified to XXXX that the information is accurate. However, this is false because courts don't report to agencies/credit bureau , XXXX could not verify the alleged bankruptcy and was removed. If XXXX is the source that XXXX uses to verify the alleged bankruptcy. How is the bankruptcy verified and accurate? As a result, I would like for CFPB to investigate this matter. Copies of the Disputer letter and supporting documents has been attached.
