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:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is reporting a debt on my credit report that is not mine. ( Acct No. XXXX ) But that is not the substance of this complaint. Experian representatives will not verify for me the exact name or Social Security Number under which this account is reported. Thus, I can not even verify whether or not there is some error. The representatives take the position, " It's yours, would you like us to dispute it? '' The real kicker here is that when I pressed them for the address under which the service was reported, or even a bill mailed to, they were unable to provide one because, I was told, XXXX  XXXX XXXX did not even report an address to Experian. It seems to me that this can not be legal. I would think that, at the least, the address would have to match something in a person 's credit file, but Experian evidently accepts negative reporting with NO address at all. So someone can just obtain electric service with a SSN and a name that approximately matches? And then the electric company can report bad debt and the credit bureau has NO obligation to even attempt to get the address associated with the service or, at the least, require that a creditor report an address where the bills were supposedly mailed? If this is legal, the law needs to be changed.

Complaint:
Yesterday, Saturday, XX/XX/XXXX, I was receiving an email regarding an open student loan account with the company " MOHELA/DEPT OF ED ''. I was investigating on my own and the address in which it appears that they took the loan is NOT where I live, I do NOT know that address and I have no relatives who live in that address. So it alerts me to think about " fraud/identity theft ''. My credit score has been quite affected by that loan which IS NOT MINE. I am not currently studying, I finished in XX/XX/XXXX and my student loan was closed since XX/XX/XXXX and I have evidence that it is closed.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
My vehicle loan with XXXX XXXX XXXX was in default and the finance company took the steps to remedy this default by repossessing the vehicle. Once the vehicle was repossessed, I was sent a figure about what was owed to pay off the vehicle. 

Approximately a month later in XX/XX/2018 I received a check for approximately {$2100.00} dollars as surplus from the vehicle being sold and paid off and the amount of {$16000.00} was removed from my credit report for this debt.

During my attempts to cash said checks, it was advised through my financial institution that a stop payment had been issued onto the check. I called to confirm what had happened and was advised that there was an error in sending the check and in fact the vehicle had been sold but due to an internal error the check shouldn't have been sent out. 

My credit score monitoring apps showed that my car had been paid off and the balance was no longer reporting on that debt. Then this week, after no calls, letters, or any indication, my credit scored dropped 30+ points right when i was working on a pre-approval letter for the purchase of a home. 

So now, I have a score that is vastly reduced, a debt that was satisfied through the sale of the repossessed vehicle, and a current derogatory payment on my credit file for something I had no idea existed. I would like the entire item post XX/XX/2018 removed from my consumer credit report due to numerous errors.

Complaint:
I am writing to formally register a complaint regarding the persistent and unresolved issues with late open account that continue to appear on my credit report. Despite multiple diligent attempts to rectify these inaccuracies, they persistently impact my credit history and financial standing. 

To provide context, I first identified the presence of late open accounts on my credit report. Since then, I have conscientiously followed the prescribed procedures for disputing and rectifying these inaccuracies, including the submission of supporting documentation and evidence of the inaccuracies. 

Here is a summary of the actions I have taken in my endeavor to address this issue : I promptly contacted your agency and filed a dispute regarding the late open accounts. I submitted all necessary documentation to substantiate my claims, which included proof of timely payments and communication with the creditors in question. 

After not receiving any resolution or updates on my dispute, I initiated follow-up inquiries, during which I was informed that the investigation was still ongoing. 

Subsequently, I submitted additional disputes, reiterating my concerns and supplying any supplementary evidence that was requested. 

I have persistently attempted to communicate with your agency 's customer service department via phone and email to inquire about the status of my dispute, yet I have not received a satisfactory response. 

Despite my repeated efforts to rectify this situation, the late open account persist on my credit report, inaccurately reflecting my credit history and detrimentally affecting my financial opportunities. 

I understand the importance of accurate credit reporting, and I firmly believe that your agency has a responsibility to ensure the correctness and integrity of the information within my credit file. Therefore, I respectfully request the following : A thorough and expedited reevaluation of the late open account on my credit report. 

Immediate correction of the inaccuracies by removing the late open account from my credit report.

A detailed written response that outlines the results of the investigation and the steps taken to rectify my credit report.

Assurance that measures will be put in place to prevent future occurrences of such inaccuracies. 

I anticipate a prompt and meaningful response to this formal complaint within the exact time frame from the date of this letter. Should my concerns not be adequately addressed, I may need to pursue legal remedies to rectify this matter. I am asking for your immediate assistance to correct this account : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Balance : {$7300.00}.

I was told they had a deadline of the XXXX to resolve it and get back to me, and I never heard back from them. I reached back out to have them tell me that there is nothing they can do for me.
