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

Subissue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Consumer Complaint: I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: I am reporting EQUIFAX AGAIN! They have NOT corrected my credit report. I have filed MANY reports and sent proof of what the balance should be. I also spent my LAST {$25.00} on XXXX XXXX to overnight them PROOF my student loans should have a XXXX balance because they were consolidated but they REFUSED to change it. Not only that I sent a letter showing what companies had my PERMISSION to pull my credit report. I was told by a representative to call the people on my report and get a letter saying they didn't have permission to pull my report. I was informed that I could NOT get a letter because they DON'T know me. IM SICK AND TIRED OF DOING THEIR JOB. THEY ARE RUINING MY LIFE. Not only is this stressing me out I suffered a XXXX XXXX from ALL the stress they have put me under. I WANT JUSTICE!!!! When I contacted your company, it said the case was closed. This is what I sent to your company before. I applied for an auto loan through 4 banks and was told by the last bank that I had an excessive number of inquiries on my report. I look at my credit report and noticed I had 26 companies that pulled my report without my approval. I then contacted the credit bureaus and disputed them. Within 24 hours I received a message saying my disputes were resolved. There is NO way they contacted the companies and verified those accounts. I did the dispute around XXXX on XX/XX/2023 and received an email at XXXX on XX/XX/2023 saying it was resolved and that they will remain on my report for 2 years. Because I am a realtor, I understand how too many inquires can affect your credit score. I am asking that you investigate this and have all the ones I did NOT authorize removed ASAP. If you have any questions, I can be reached at XXXX or by email at XXXX if I DO NOT GET JUSTICE BY XXXX XXXX, I WILL FILE A LAWSUIT AGAINST YOUR COMPANY AS WELL AS EQUIFAX. I am also including XXXX and XXXX

Subissue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Consumer Complaint: In your response to my previous complaint filed through the CFPB, you acknowledged the existence of internal fraud procedures.
