      We reviewed the consumers concerns and initiated an investigation, when applicable. The results were mailed to the consumer on 6/12/25.
      In reference to their question regarding inquiries: Inquiries are a matter of fact and are not routinely removed from the credit file. They are a tracking record and a requirement of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. They must remain on the file for two years for employment purposes and one year for other purposes. However, it is our policy to retain all inquiries for two years. Inquiries are also for the consumer's benefit, as they have a right to know what firms have accessed your credit file. Should they have reason to believe this inquiry was unauthorized, please contact the creditor directly and follow their internal fraud procedures.

      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.

      I'm submitting this complaint with certainty and deep frustration. My credit report contains numerous errors that I can no longer ignore. These inaccuracies have severely damaged my credit score, preventing me from achieving financial stability and freedom.Aside from that, there are fraudulent inquiries on my report applications made in my name that I neither authorized nor applied for. These companies accessed my credit report without my consent, further impacting my credit standing. Despite contacting the credit bureau and being assured that these inquiries would be removed, they remain on my report, causing ongoing stress and anxiety.I demand that you take immediate action to remove all unverifiable data and delete these unauthorized items. It's unacceptable that these issues persist despite my previous efforts. Please address this matter promptly to prevent further harm. I am expecting for a quick resolution to this issue, which I think would be fair enough considering the damages it has done to my life.

      My credit is very important to me, and the mistakes on my credit report are getting on my nerves and it's causing me significant stress. There are mixed and fraudulent information on my report that I never authorized or benefited from, and its affecting my ability to secure new credit. I want my credit report to only reflect accurate information, which is why its important that you verify the accuracy of this data rather than relying solely on what the data furnisher has provided. This inaccuracy violates federal law and is unjustly affecting my credit standing. If you can not certify that all data belongs to me, these accounts and its respective charges must be removed entirely. Ive worked hard to build my credit, and its frustrating to see it impacted by errors that aren't my fault. I need you to resolve this issue immediately to prevent further damage. Thank you.

      Equifax drops my score drastically for no reason. Then when there is a significant deletion the score does not go back up. Me and other families are seeing this is well. I am now thinking about filing a discrimination lawsuit and a defamation of character lawsuit. This is ridiculous and someone needs to do something about it.

      Subject: Gregory Foreman, Case #23510433
      Dear Connie Brown,
      This letter addresses the various factors that influence credit scores and the potential reasons for discrepancies between scores from different credit reporting agencies.
      Credit scores are derived from complex models that analyze numerous data points within a consumer's credit file. It is common for scores to vary across the three major credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion) due to differences in the data each agency maintains. Not all creditors report to all three agencies, leading to variations in the credit lines present on each report. Such differences in reported data directly impact score calculations and can result in score variances.
      Additional factors that may influence credit scores include the specific scoring models utilized and the timing of the score inquiry. For instance, a score pulled a month ago may differ from a current score if there have been changes to the credit file, such as adjustments in account balances or status.
      Common negative factors that can impact credit scores include, but are not limited to, the following:
      Serious delinquency on accounts.
      Serious delinquency combined with public records or collections.
      Recent or undetermined time since delinquency.
      High level of delinquency on accounts.
      Excessive number of accounts with delinquency.
      High amount owed on accounts.
      High ratio of balances to credit limits on revolving accounts.
      Short length of time accounts have been established.
      Excessive number of accounts with balances.

      I am rejecting this response because:


      those delinquent accounts are apart of the police report I sent on file. Your response is vague and does not address why 66 points was deducted from my score without any reasonable explanation. If there is nothing done I will be filing a defamation lawsuit. Transunion added points  back to my file, so what’s your excuse?

      Complaint: 23510433



      I am rejecting this response because:

      You’re still not address the point that 66 points dropped with literally no visible changes.  The score dropped with no changes. Who ever is responsible needs to do something about it or I’m filing a defamation lawsuit. After complaints, Transunion added the points back and you guys still haven’t. 

      Thanks 

       



      Sincerely,

      Dear Connie Brown,
      Thank you for submitting George Hodges rebuttal on 6/30/2025 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 (888) 836-6351 or they may visit www.myequifax.com. 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.
