      Consumers can generally expect to receive the results of their dispute within 30 days. If the information is found to be inaccurate, their credit report will be updated, generally within about 30 days.
      If the result of the investigation finds that the information is accurate, it will remain on their credit report. If they still believe the information is inaccurate or incomplete, and have additional information that can help support their dispute, they can file their dispute again. They will also have the option to provide a brief statement on their credit report summarizing their dispute, which can help explain their situation. Or they could contact the creditor to attempt to resolve the issue.
      If they have any additional questions, they may call ************** or they may visit ********************************. With myEquifax, they can create an account to manage their security freeze, add or remove fraud alerts, and initiate credit file disputes.

      I contacted Equifax about fraud on my credit report that was resolved in 2022 through ********. I spent 9 months trying to resolve this fraud with ********. I was not aware of this fraud with Experian until I was denied an apartment. I was left homeless for 9 months after contacting Experian several times and receiving a verified result from them over the 3 months. I became suicidal and went to my doctor and my doctor recommended I contact my Senator to replace this issue. I contacted the my Senator and provided all the documentation I provided such as contract with fraud signatures, notes from conversations with Experian each time I called over the 9 months, emails from my conversation with former apartment complex who provided me a copy of the contract that was signed by not me but by one of there employees, and Driver license which on one occasion Experian denied because my picture was too dark etc. Equifax has told me that there back office denied my identity theft report and change there wording to the *** denied it. I never received an email from the *** stating they denied my report. I contacted the *** they said they do not deny Identity theft reports and I can file a complaint with them on this issue. Complaint # is *********. Equifax wanted me to file another fraud report with the information I sent to the senator. The Equifax agent was reading from a computer screen that indicated my report (FTC report ( #*********) was denied which means who ever did this denial can be tracked since it is system related. The other concern is that Experian should have notified Equifax that this issue was relvoved. Also, by Equifax not knowing this issue was resolved by Experian proves Equifax never did an investigation to make the determination that the fraud claim should be denied. There are several violations here by Equifax and possibly Experian. Also, the fact that this crime is being committed within Equifax by one of its employees should be investigated.

      Complaint: 23520249



      I am rejecting this response because: i have disputed this matter twice with Equifax. First response stated it was not identity theft. I responded back by indicating the definition of identity theft which is when someone uses your signature without your  authorization and provided a copy of the contract with the false signature used with a stamp. Equifax wrote back and said a collection company does not have to comply with the accuracy clause in federal law. The states each company must have consistent data. This collection was on my experian report in 2022. It left me homeless for 9 months after challenging 4 times. Finally go the U.S. senator involved and it was removed. During the 9 months I became suicidal because of such a flawed processed that can be used to punish people. Once removed the collection company decided since they are located in Atlanta the collection a year later put it on Equifax. Equifax is just stringing the BBb along playing this game along with the collection copy. They want to cause harm to people.

      I am rejecting this response because: equifax does provide any specifics when it does an investigation. I provided documentation as requested showing that the signature on the document is not. Equifax has twice provided a response to me with no details. I will accepted the response if the following is provided by the collection company to equifax and BBB. Equifax provide a copy of a contract with my signature on it that I signed or sworn statement that I signed any contract. Proof needs to be provided.

      Thank you for submitting **** ***** rebuttal on 6/25/2025 through the BBB Complaint Portal. 
      Consumers can generally expect to receive the results of their dispute within 30 days. If the information is found to be inaccurate, their credit report will be updated, generally within about 30 days.
      If the result of the investigation finds that the information is accurate, it will remain on their credit report. If they still believe the information is inaccurate or incomplete, and have additional information that can help support their dispute, they can file their dispute again. They will also have the option to provide a brief statement on their credit report summarizing their dispute, which can help explain their situation. Or they could contact the creditor to attempt to resolve the issue.
      If they have any additional questions, they may call ************** or they may visit ********************************. With myEquifax, they can create an account to manage their security freeze, add or remove fraud alerts, and initiate credit file disputes. Additionally, they can access free Equifax credit reports and other products.
      Thank you for the opportunity to assist you.
