Have You Disputed Equifax Errors That Were Not Fixed?

If Equifax failed to correct inaccurate information on your credit report after you filed a dispute, you may have a case under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).

Errors on credit reports can affect your ability to get a loan, secure housing, obtain employment, or access financial services. When Equifax doesn’t properly investigate disputes or continues reporting incorrect information, you may be entitled to compensation.

If you disputed an error and the problem was ignored, not corrected, or improperly verified, our consumer protection attorneys are here to help.

When Does an Equifax Credit Report Error Become a Legal Case?

Not every credit report error immediately leads to a legal claim. In many cases, consumers must first notify the credit bureau about the error and give them an opportunity to investigate.

However, you may have a case when Equifax:

• Fails to conduct a reasonable investigation
• Continues reporting inaccurate information after a dispute
• Improperly verifies incorrect information as accurate
• Ignores supporting documentation submitted with a dispute
• Repeatedly reports errors after multiple disputes

If any of these situations sound like yours, you may have a case.

Common Equifax Credit Report Errors

Credit reporting errors can occur for many reasons, including identity mix-ups or mixed files, reporting mistakes by creditors, or failures during the dispute process.

Examples of common Equifax credit report errors include:

• Accounts that do not belong to you
• Incorrect balances or payment history
• Accounts reported multiple times
• Debts that should have been removed
• Mixed credit files with another person’s information
• Accounts incorrectly reported as delinquent or in collections

If these errors remain after a dispute, they may violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
