I am filing this dispute against Equifax for violating [ 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ) ]. This is the is the section of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) that mandates that Equifax must respond within XXXX days to a consumers request for information on the procedures they used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information they relied on to verify items disputed by a consumer. 

So to explain the back story a little, I did dispute items in my credit file. Equifax did provide a timely response letting me know that they " verified '' the disputed items. Upon receiving the letter from them that said the items were verified, I sent another letter to Equifax requesting information on the procedures they used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information used to verify items I disputed. I have certified mail documentation evidencing that Equifax received that request on XXXX XXXX, 2015. 

Equifax subsequently sent me a response and a credit file dated XXXX XXXX, 2015, confirmation # XXXX. I received that on XXXX XXXX, 2015. Not only was that letter received AFTER the XXXX day maximum requirement, that that letter did NOT provide me with any of the information used to verify the items in my credit file that I disputed as I requested. Instead, in that letter Equifax stated the " Below are the results of your reinvestigation request and, as applicable, any revisions of your credit report. '' In other words, all they really did is again tell me that the items were verified. It appears to me that my request for the documentation used to verify the disputed items was totally disregarded. This obviously is a direct violation of the part of the FCRA that mandates that they must provide documentation used to verify items disputed, if requested by the consumer. 

I have been well within my rights to dispute items on my Equifax credit report and request documentation used to verify the items disputed. In good faith, I expected Equifax to respond by providing me with that documentation so I could better understand what is being reported and why in addition to the fact that the FCRA requires them to do so and in a timely manner. Equifax has failed to do that to this day. This is completely not fair to me and I am sure the CFPB also expects Equifax to comply with ALL applicable laws in dealing with my dispute and others. Clearly, Equifax has failed to comply with [ 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ) ] in my case and they should be held accountable for that.
