Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: COMPLAINT ID XXXX SUBMITTED ON XX/XX/2023 PRODUCT Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports ISSUE Improper use of your report I file a complaint with the CFPB against XXXX XXXX for violating 15 U.S. Code 1681b, a consumer report containing information about an individual 's child support payments should be kept confidential and only used for specific purposes, such as establishing the individual 's capacity to make child support payments, determining the appropriate level of such payments, or enforcing a child support order, award, agreement, or judgment. The law explicitly states that this information should not be used in connection with any other civil, administrative, or criminal proceeding, or for any other purpose. The company did not respond to this complaint. They responded with a script about the accuracy of the information which was not the complaint, so therefore, my complaint was never addressed, and I would like for my complaint to be addressed specifically for what I wrote in the complaint. I do not understand how the CFPB can accept this without doing any type of investigation to see whether or not my issue was addressed. My issue was not addressed, and I need for somebody to make sure that the issue that I am reporting is addressed.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: I submitted a Method of Verification request in accordance with FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) and FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 7 ) via CFPB # XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and as of today have not received any information accordance with FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) and FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). I should have received the results I requested within 15 Days from Equifax and it could mean I collect {$1000.00} due to the violation because It has exceeded the 15 Days, I submitted the XXXX request on XX/XX/XXXX and todays date is XX/XX/XXXX and I have yet to receive any information from Equifax that even remotely resembles what is required in accordance with FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) /FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). I disputed initially via CFPB # XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and Equifax sent me the results via CFPB on XX/XX/XXXX falsely stating the Trades listed below did not appear on my credit report but I consider Equifax is acting in BAD FAITH because I am a paid monthly subscriber to Equifax monitoring and as of today the accounts Equifax states do not appear on my credit report in actuality unforetunately are still reporting on my Equifax consumer report. The basis of my dispute was that my Privacy rights were being violated in accordance with FCRA 602 which states I have a right to privacy and FCRA 604 ( A ) which states a credit reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions. Additionally, Equifax sent me another letter requesting my identification that I keep submitting over and over again and have uploaded my identification again in this complaint. I want the accounts removed or I may seek legal representation.
