Consumer complaint received 2021-06-20
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TN
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a dispute for a chapter XXXX bankruptcy case # XXXX that is listed only on my Experian credit report. On XX/XX/XXXX, Experian replied to the dispute and advised that they received correspondence from XXXX, which is their vendor they use to verify bankruptcies, that it was certified as accurate. I was then advised that I would need to contact them to complete a method of verification in order to see how they were able to verify it. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted XXXX for a method of verification, and on XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter of resolution that states since they were unable to verify the accuracy of the bankruptcy # XXXX, it was removed from my credit report. 
When I received this letter, I immediately uploaded the evidence that the bankruptcy was removed to their website experian.com/upload. I was then advised that I needed to open another dispute with Experian which I did. On XX/XX/XXXX another dispute was opened, and on XX/XX/XXXX Experian replied AGAIN and states that the bankruptcy was certified as accurate by XXXX. 

I contacted XXXX again on XX/XX/XXXX and they advised that there is no bankruptcy showing on any of my credit reports, and they do not understand why Experian is saying this. They advised they would open a manual dispute again, but I advised this is not solving the problem and I would file a complaint. 
Experian uses XXXX to verify bankruptcies that they add to your credit report, but would not honor the supporting evidence from the same company to have this bankruptcy removed. It is not fair that I have to suffer through this when I have done everything I can as a consumer. I have no other choice but to submit a complaint as there should be better communication between the two entities. 

This complaint is being submitted because when I call both companies, they both tell me to call the other party when it is their job to get this information removed immediately. I am filing this complaint in lieu of seeking legal representation. I want to get this matter resolved immediately, as this issue is having an enormous impact to my credit report. I have proved all of the necessary documents asked of me from Experian, yet they are choosing not to do the rightful thing, and that is to remove this negative item. 

Attached you will find a copy of the resolution letter from XXXX dated XX/XX/XXXX that confirms they removed the bankruptcy, but Experian is refusing to remove it.

Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified item ( XXXX ) listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditors documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct. 

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verified that these items are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( XXXX ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to promptly UPDATE all information which can not be verified.

Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful noncomplying with the FCRA. 

Since you claim youve verified the account ( XXXX ) listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the companies directly. Not XXXX of them provided me with any verifiable proof. So, my question comes up again, WHO VERIFIED THESE ACCOUNTS? I believe you have not verified these accounts based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( XXXX ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy.

Complaint:
I am writing to submit a formal complaint against Equifax located in XXXX, GA. This company has consistently violated my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, resulting in substantial financial and emotional distress. To start, they have reported an inaccurate and unverifiable account on my credit report, and despite my requests for proof of claim as mandated by the FCRA, they have been unable to provide the necessary documentation. Despite my persistent efforts to resolve this matter over the past several months, Equifax has chosen to disregard my communications and legal submissions aimed at rectifying this inaccurate information on my credit report. It is disconcerting to note that there are numerous other complaints against this company for their illegal and unethical business practices, yet they continue to operate with impunity. The unprofessional and negligent conduct of Equifax has caused significant harm not only to my ability to establish credit and secure favorable interest rates but also to my professional standing and personal well-being. I urgently request your assistance in putting an immediate halt to these unethical and immoral business practices, not only for my benefit but also for the countless other consumers facing similar issues. I genuinely appreciate your time and assistance in addressing this matter and eagerly await your response.

Complaint:
My brother, father and I invested {$5000.00} in XXXX through a company called Coinbase in 1st week of XXXX in XXXX. We know this as that is when the Coinbase emails confirming our new account were sent to us. We do not know exact date as we can not access our account. We invested as a family and decided we would hold it for a long time. Roughly 6 months ago, I noticed XXXX was going up in value and decided to check the account balance on my Coinbase application. When I checked our account, the account showed a zero balance with no transaction history. The account did not even show where we transferred the {$5000.00} into Coinbase either. So, I submitted a case # to Coinbase immediately regarding our issue. My case number is XXXX. I have sent over 50 different emails in the last 6 months trying to access my account but Coinbase Support does not answer the phone and they keep sending me the same information over and over again via email and I am getting absolutely no where. I have pleaded with Coinbase Support to help me figure out where our hard earned {$5000.00} is and they still have not responded even after 6 months of time and over 50 emails. Also, I went on XXXX and there are thousands of people just like me that are experiencing the same issue with Coinbase and all within the same time frame too. My family and I are distraught, and with the virus and issues with the economy, we need this money badly. Even if we only get our original investment we would be happy even though it has to be worth over {$20000.00} at this point. Please please help my family and I get our money back. Thank you so much for your help.

Complaint:
Hello, I'm writing to you for help concerning my venmo account. My uncle sent me XXXX dollars to help me with the purchase of a vehicle. I tried to transfer the money to my debit card and venmo then told me that I had violated the user agreement same and suspended/froze my account. I can't take your demo to find out what I had done that violated the user agreement to be given no answer and then told that my account was permanently deactivated and that I could no longer use Venmo. On or about XX/XX/2023 I sent an email to the venmo support team because contacting them are directly you can not talk to anyone at all about your account it is a whole separate team that deals with it and you can not speak to them on the phone you have to reach them through email.. I emailed them an email asking them what it was that I had done to violate your policy with no answer being given I just received an email back stating that they could hold my funds for up to 180 days for lost prevention reasons which is complete crap.. I do believe that I am the only one who is missing out here and who has lost anything. They have caused me to not be able to get my vehicle therefore I have missed out on so much money from work that I'm really not sure how I'm surviving except for with the help from friends and family. Since then I have XXXX emails sent between myself and Venmo 's " team '' me asking them to please just let me transfer the funds to a different card and I would close my own account they didn't have to because I don't want to be a part of it any longer. Today XX/XX/2023 they sent me back an email stating that they would consider the case closed and they would not respond to me any longer that they would send me an email to my emil aaddress if my funds were ever available to transfer in the future.. this is not at all what a business should do to their customers especially a business with a huge name like Venmo. I do not recommend Venmo to anyone and I would like this to be taken care of immediately. I want my funds off of the account and I will be extremely cautious about any online card or bank or anyone who has control over my money. I am so unhappy about this. It is completely ridiculous and not professional whatsoever in any way, they should not be allowed to do this to their customers.
