WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has taken enforcement action against Equifax, one of the nation's largest credit reporting agencies, for serious failures in investigating consumer disputes about inaccurate credit information. Equifax, headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, processes nearly 765,000 disputes each month, but the CFPB's investigation uncovered systemic shortcomings that harmed consumers by perpetuating errors on their credit reports.
