Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports

Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against XXXX, XXXX, and Experian for numerous violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically regarding their failure to comply with 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 regarding the accuracy of information reported to consumer reporting agencies. 

Background As a consumer impacted by the actions of these credit reporting agencies, I have painstakingly attempted to correct inaccuracies in my credit report and have witnessed firsthand the failure of these agencies to adhere to statutory obligations under the FCRA. 

Violations 1. Definition of Consumer Report ( 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) ) : It is my understanding that according to this regulation, a consumer report does not include information solely related to transactions and experiences between the consumer and the entity making the report. However, I have found that inaccuracies concerning my transactional history have been reported by these agencies, despite these inaccuracies not being exempt reports. This misclassification directly violates the clear stipulation outlined in the FCRA. 

2. Responsibilities of Furnishers of Information ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ) : According to subsection ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), furnishers of information have a duty to provide accurate information. I have documented occasions where both XXXX and XXXX have reported false information while having actual knowledge of errors. These inaccuracies have negatively impacted my credit score and my ability to obtain credit. Such actions are not only illegal but demonstrate a willful disregard for the law. 

3. Timing of Payments ( 15 U.S.C. 1666b ) : The failures in reporting also extend to the timing of payments. There have been instances where my payments have been reported late despite the fact that my payments were made timely and in accordance with the agreements in place. This misreporting has not only caused harm but has also imposed undue stress and financial implications on my ability to secure financing. 

Conclusion I demand a thorough investigation into the practices of XXXX, XXXX, and Experian. Their continued failure to adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act is a violation of my rights as a consumer. I expect that the CFPB will take appropriate action to ensure that these agencies are held accountable for their violations. 

Additionally, I expect these agencies to rectify the inaccuracies on my reports immediately and provide me with a formal confirmation of the corrections made. 

Please inform me of the steps you will take regarding this complaint. I am prepared to take further action if necessary to enforce my rights. 

Thank you for your attention to this critical matter. 

I am writing to formally request information regarding the procedures you utilize to verify the accuracy of items listed on my credit report. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I believe it is essential for consumers to understand how their information is evaluated and verified. 

It is concerning to think that inaccuracies could exist on my credit report, as these discrepancies can be both frightening and damaging. The impact of incorrect information on a person 's credit report can be devastating, so it is critical to ensure accurate reporting. Therefore, I would like to know the specific steps XXXX takes to ensure that the items reported truly belong to the individual named in the report. 

Additionally, I request that you provide me with the name of the person you communicated with at any companies regarding my credit items, along with the date of that communication. Furthermore, I would appreciate it if you could confirm the address and phone number for the companies in question, as this will help me address any discrepancies directly with them. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response outlining your verification procedures and providing the requested contact information.
