5 Day Reinsertion of Account Without Notification This complaint is regarding a collection account on my Experian Credit report. The collection account is XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, account # XXXX. This incident occurred while I was a resident of California. 

The collection account did not appear on my credit report as evidenced by Experian credit report printout datedXX/XX/XXXX. This printout, and all subsequent printouts, was obtained by me on the Experian website. 

The collection account appeared on my credit report onXX/XX/XXXX, and remained on my report through XXXX as evidenced by Experian credit report printouts containing those dates. 

The collection account had been removed from my credit report on XXXX, and remained removed from my reports through XXXX as evidenced by Experian credit report printouts containing those dates. 

The collection account reappeared on my credit report onXX/XX/XXXX as evidenced by the Experian credit report printout containing that date. 

I did not receive any written notification of Experian 's intent to reinsert the account, as required by FCRA section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ) ( ii ), and California Civil Code Title 1.6 section 1785.16 ( c ), before XXXX. 

I waited untilXX/XX/XXXX to allow enough time for a 5 day reinsertion notice to arrive from Experian. No such notification arrived, so I immediately disputed the reinsertion with Experian. I sent the dispute via certified mail. The dispute was signed for on XXXX by XXXX XXXX. I received a response stating the account had been verified with no mention of the reinsertion violation. On XXXX, I a dispute by certified mail to XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I did not receive any response regarding the dispute at any time.
