Equifax Lawsuit 😱

Wish I had known about it BEFORE I "missed" the deadline of 9/1/26.

➡️[*** Anyone participated?

I am fighting with them to UPDATE my address which I have had since 2018. NO success. Still has an OLD address from 30 years ago on my Credit Report as my CURRENT address. 😤

Finally filed a "complaint" with Better Business Bureau yesterday (10/16/26) and saw the notice about the Court Judgement there.

Take care,

    Okay, just found my NEXT STEP. Now to HOPE it works. 🤞

    GOOGLE AI.

    Option 2: File a Complaint with the CFPB
    If you have an unresolved issue or dispute with Equifax, you can escalate it externally:
    Submit to the CFPB: Go to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Complaint Page.
    Provide information: Include clear facts, supporting documentation (up to 50 pages), and company details. 

    Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (.gov)
    Track the response: Equifax generally responds within 15 to 60 days, and you can review the response through the portal.

    Hi AARP Jen ​@Jen & AARP Darryl ​@DarrylL35959 , does AARP have any suggestions or resources? Totally over this. Hundreds of complaints on BBB website about Equifax & NOTHING changes in their "messing" up what is on people's Credit Reports. Thanks, Nicole 🤗💛

    Anyone have any "suggestions" of my NEXT step?

    BBB "closed" out complaint just now (received an email). They did try to get Equifax to UPDATE my "current" address of 8 years ALL WEEK. Grateful for their help. BBB website FULL of "complaints" about Equifax. Surprised they have NOT been shutdown. 🤔

    Lol, my Post Office "Informed Delivery" email for TODAY says Equifax sent me mail. I will get it tomorrow (Saturday) when I do my weekly dumpster & mailbox run. IF the mail is IMPORTANT, I go get it when it arrives. I already know it is ANOTHER "computer" generated printout of WHAT they need. I was able to UPLOAD my Driver's License, but NOT my Social Security card. And I am NOT "mailing" any COPIES to them. More exposure to identity theft if mail is stolen

    Frustrated but NOT giving up!!! 👍

    Take care,

    Geez, Equifax is a hot mess. I just received another response from them through Better Business Bureau. Once AGAIN requesting documents that CANNOT be uploaded on their sorry website.

    Anyway, uploaded to BBB (option in their email to me today).

    Now to see IF the CORRECT address goes on my Credit Report.

    Lol, I guess I better NOT move anytime soon for them to post an OLD address as my RECENT.

    Why are they being allowed to stay in business???

    Anyone else dealing with them?

    What a pain. 😤

    8 years, and still NEW address (where I am now) nowhere on report. Lol, wonder IF it will change before I die.

    Recent address showing as one I had 30 years ago. Really!!!
