Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NH
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
On XX/XX/, I paid my account in full. Customer Service notified me that we would need to cancel my scheduled payment for XXXX, so that I could instead submit a payment for the full payoff amount. Customer service took my payment over the phone by visa debit card. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) confirming the account was paid in full. I received the title with release of lien dated XX/XX/XXXX. Despite being paid in full, when checking my credit report, the account showed as delinquent for XXXX, and showed an unpaid balance with the credit bureaus. I called XXXX several times, and filed disputes with the credit bureaus. The credit bureaus provided the copy of the title and the letter as part of the dispute, submitted the dispute to XXXX who subsequently rejected the dispute. I called XXXX again, and was then promised by their escalation team that it would be removed from the credit report on XX/XX/XXXX. We are now the XXXX of XXXX and not only has the XXXX delinquency not been removed, but now XXXX is reporting another delinquency for the month of XXXX. I made an additional attempt to resolve this with XXXX today by phone. They continue to state theyve already escalated this internally, and yet nothing has been done to this date to resolve it. This is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX/Drivetime is reporting inaccurate information on my credit report making it look like the account is in negative standing. However, this account was paid in full, partially by my insurance company and the remaining balance with the GAP insurance that was included when I purchased the vehicle. This vehicle was totaled in XX/XX/2021, payments were made up until that point on the vehicle on time and then insurance took over. However, they're reporting that since it took so long for XXXX ( Gap insurance ) to issue them a check that I was delinquent. XXXX is a partner company with XXXX XXXX/Drivetime, so I am not responsible for issuing the checks. Since they're a partner company, they should have maintained contact with them and got their check in an efficient manner.

Complaint:
I am making you aware of this because current law does not provide for egregious and damaging score reporting unsupported by statistical evidence. A years -long perfect credit history recently was marred by a mistake by an ex spouse still with an open shared account for which she is responsible. 

The resulting delinquency resulted in a FICO drop of over 100 points. There can not possibly be any statistical or actuarial evidence that this represents actual credit risk. 

I intend to file against the credit reporting companies regarding this if it's not corrected, and want you to note this is an XXXX.

Complaint:
A few weeks ago I sent letters to all 3 credit bureaus regarding some items on my credit report which I know are not accurate which is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA and you must abide by the law. Everything I have provided in my letters is true and accurate to my knowledge. Ive received emails and letters saying Im using a 3rd party which is incorrect because I am the one sending my letters out and filing this complaint with no help from a credit repair company or 3rd party. The CRAs are in violation of my rights due to not providing a notice of dispute and for failure to communicate to me that I disputed stuff on my credit. I request these accounts to be deleted from my credit asap or I will take legal action and hire a lawyer. I want to purchase a house soon and this holding me back. 

I would like the items I disputed in my letters to be handled accordingly based on the reasons that I put in my letters.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Problem with personal statement of dispute

Complaint:
I had an American express green card, i called their customer service line regarding a question about my reward points. I was offered an upgrade to a platinum card by the representative. I declined the offer because of the spending terms, Then he said he could upgrade me to a gold card. I accepted. i received the card in mail. About a month later i received two statements and called American express to find out when they would be merging my green card account with my gold and they informed me i had two accounts. I said i did not want two accounts they said i can just close the green card. I advised I did not want to do that because it would negatively affect my credit rating and that is not what i agreed to do. They said I did. I filed a complaint with American Express. Then i finally got a response back 5 weeks later after several other phones calls and was told that the recording has the representative reading a disclosure to me and that means i was told i was opening a second account. I told them the representative did not explain what he was reading disclosure for, i assumed it was normal protocol for upgrading. I asked for copy of recording they refused said i have to get a subpoena and mail it to them for the recording, i asked if we could listen to call together and they said no. Then the supervisor said she could speak no longer about the situation. If American Express is going to use a recording to make a decision that affects my credit why cant i at least hear the call? I need American Express to correct my credit Bureau so i do not suffer any adverse consequences on my report.

Multiple fraudulent Bank of America inquiries on my credit report I have never applied for a Bank of America checking account. Ever. 

XX/XX/XXXX Received notification from XXXX XXXX XXXX Bank of America declined to open a bank account on my behalf because of information XXXX XXXX XXXX provided. I called XXXX XXXX XXXX and advised they were violating my rights and providing unauthorized information. The agent responded they were contacted. And again explained I never gave them permission to access my information. Then I called Bank of America and they acknowledged someone tried to open an account but they blocked it. I again explained the inquiry was fraudulent and not made by me. That did not invoke any further action. 
Now it is XX/XX/XXXX and again received notification of a Bank of America hard inquiry on my credit report. Fraudulent application. I have never applied for a bank account with Bank of America.

Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
I hope this letter finds you well. My name is XXXX XXXX, and I am writing to address significant concerns regarding billing errors on my accounts as per the United States Code, specifically TILA ( 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) ).

Upon reviewing my credit report, I identified multiple billing errors falling under the provisions of 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) specifically, ( 4 ) the creditors failure to reflect properly on a statement a payment made by the obligor, or a credit issued to the obligor; and ( 5 ) a computation error or similar error of an accounting nature of the creditor on a statement.

I am particularly disturbed to find discrepancies related to the notification period for statements. According to my understanding of the law, a creditor is required to notify me at least 21 days ( approximately 3 weeks ) before a statement is due. This notification failure has led to unwarranted late payments on the mentioned accounts. I hereby request solid proof from your records that substantiates these alleged late payments.

The following accounts have been adversely affected, and I insist on their immediate correction in my consumer report to reflect the accurate status as " paid as agreed '' : XXXX XXXX Account number : XXXX Late Payment Dates : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Account number : XXXX Late Payment Dates : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX XXXX Late Payment Dates : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX Account number : XXXX Late Payment Dates : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Late Payment Dates : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Account number : XXXX Late Payment Dates : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX According to consumer protection laws, these accounts must be promptly updated or deleted from my report. Failure to do so will compel me to seek monetary compensation for the violation of my rights in small claims court under 15 USC 1681n civil liability.

Additionally, please be advised that a formal complaint has been submitted to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, State Attorney Generals OfficeXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  and Federal Trade Commission. I trust that your prompt attention to this matter will help resolve these issues amicably. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
