Complaint:
This is so annoying & frustrating. Ive sent EXPERIAN multiple letters that Im the one whos disputing the items that are UNKNOWN to me. In Experians responses that make the claim that have not initiated any disputes on my behalf due to the fraudulent or high risk nature, and the documents I provided have either been confirmed as fraudulent or deemed as high risk due to the potential for fraud. This is a complete joke. How in the world did they verify these claims? First of all, I know that under FCRA Section 619 Obtaining information under false pretenses that any person who knowingly and willfully obtains information on a consumer from a consumer reporting agency under false pretenses shall be fined under title 18 United States Code, imprisoned for not more than 2 years, or both. Most importantly, I never sent my documentation to anyone else as it deemed as high risk due to the potential for fraud. Also, according to FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 3 ) Determination That Dispute Is Frivolous or Irrelevant ( A ) a consumer reporting agency may terminate a reinvestigation of information disputed by a consumer under that paragraph if the agency reasonably determines that the dispute by the consumer is frivolous or irrelevant, including by reason of a failure by a consumer to provide sufficient information to investigate the disputed information. 

( B ) Notice of determination. Upon making any determination in accordance with subparagraph ( A ) that a dispute is frivolous or irrelevant, a consumer reporting agency shall notify the consumer of such determination not later than XXXX business days after making such determination, by mail or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by any other means available to the agency. 

Again, under FCRA 617 Civil liability for negligent noncompliance [ 15 U.S.C. 1681o ] Any person who is negligent in failing to comply with any requirement imposed under this title with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( 1 ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure; and ( 2 ) in the case of any successful action to enforce any liability under this section, the costs of the action together with reasonable attorneys fees as determined by the court. 

I need your help! As a consumer, I need to correct my credit file for my credit worthiness, credit standing, or credit capacity to obtain my rights and My Financial Freedom that has been DAMAGE. List of items that are UNKNOWN to me : XXXX XXXXXXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/2015 Balance : {$0.00}.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
On ( XX/XX/2023 ) I sent a letter regarding inaccurate Late payments, inaccurate negative accounts, bankruptcies and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. feel like i'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those negative items from my credit report as well as correct my late payments as paid on time. It has been over 60 days so they should be corrected promptly. I demand these negative accounts be deleted & correct late payments as paid on time immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

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

Complaint:
They continue to report incorrect information to XXXX. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I made a debit card payment in the amount of {$2100.00}, which brought my account current. However, they continue to report to XXXX that my account is 120 days past due. That is not accurate. I have filed several disputes with XXXX, yet they continue to report my account as 120 days past due. The most recent report that I pulled on XX/XX/XXXX still reflects that you are reporting my account as 120 days past due. It has been almost a month since I brought my account up to date, and they are still reporting inaccurate information to the credit bureaus. This is holding up my prequalification to purchase a home. I have called customer service and sent all of the documentation to their support department. No one has contacted me and they have not corrected their reporting. They refuse to transfer me to their " investigations '' department and the representatives insist that they are reporting the information correctly.

Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
In XX/XX/2017, I worked with a company to help pay off large credit card debt. For over 5 years, I worked with this company, paying $ XXXX monthly into an escrow account as they worked to resolve my debt with XXXX, XXXX  XXXX XXXX, and XXXX. It was difficult to send this money monthly as my credit score plunged to XXXX, and I stopped using all my cards and accounts. I wanted to avoid bankruptcy. However, after time, I was able to settle with XXXX and XXXX. But XXXX would not settle. They would not work with the debt relief company. The California statute of limitations had run out when they could take me to court, so I ended my relationship with the XXXX XXXX XXXX and moved on. Since I paid off XXXX credit card debts, my credit score rose to XXXX. However, after doing nothing since 2017 to my credit report, out of the blue, XXXX reported an XXXX for the second time in almost 6 years on my account to the credit reporting system. Over time, my credit rating dropped XXXX points, and I'm now down in the low XXXX with a fair credit rating. It has destroyed all my hard work and seriously hurt my credit. Again, XXXX WOULD NOT work with my XXXX XXXX XXXX and then did this. It is a malicious move designed to hurt my credit and ruin my hard work and the future of all that I can do with lenders. When I reported it to Equifax, they contacted XXXX, who added XXXX to all the months since 2017, hurting me even more. 
Why did they wait, and why did they do this other than to destroy my credit history and standing? My life is a living nightmare because my score keeps dropping, and lenders won't work with me or give me loans even though I have paid rent for over 10 years at my current address, other debts, credit cards, etc. This tactic is highly egregious and should be investigated and stopped by companies like XXXX. Again, they refused to work with me to resolve the debt, attacked me personally, and erased my hard work with credit for their own benefit. WRONG! There should be protections from companies like XXXX and these tactics. Hard-working Americans like myself with family to support should not be attacked by multinational XXXX companies.

Complaint:
I was behind LAST YEAR on a personal loan for home improvements ( new windows ). I caught it up by making over {$3000.00} in payments on the account. I noticed I had not received a new statement in a while, so I reached out and inquired ... as I was trying to see what the actual balance was. I should also mention that I have made the monthly payments AND THEN SOME since this time. 

After I made the large payments on the account, they apparently sent it to collections... which I NEVER received any communication about. I reported this to you. They then retaliated by reporting that the account was not up to date on credit reporting ... even though the account IS up to date... they are just not reflecting that and are refusing to do so. 

This is clear retaliation for me reporting their illegal practices- and you closed the complaint at their repsonse! I'm shocked by this- but they are now digging in and retaliating by trying to make my credit suffer even though I have made MORE than the required payments since late XXXX. This is truly shocking and I want them to stop. They need to be correctly reporting that they payments are being made TIMELY- they are refusing to do so. This company is TERRIBLE

Complaint:
I have been disputing with XXXX, Experian, XXXX and other creditors since XX/XX/2023 and I have not been able to get them to comply with my disputes. I disputed my personal information, late payments, collections, derogatory marks and accounts that have been charged off. Which are all inaccurate, misleading and misreporting on my consumer report. This is also against my rights as a consumer. They never asked for my permission to report all these things in writing nor verbally. On XX/XX/2023 I found out my information was breeched! I am very upset, disappointed and I demand a remedy! I have spent numerous amounts of monies and time disputing these misleading, misreporting and inaccurate information on my consumer report. 

This is messing with my mode of living, my general reputation and my children 's future as well. THESE CORPORATIONS AND FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS ARE IN CLEAR VIOLATION OF CONGRESS FEDERAL LAWS. I want any and all negative items ; Old/outdated addresses, late payments, collections and inquires, reporting on my XXXX consumer reported DELTED immediately. In addition, I am requesting a compensation amount of {$5000.00} because my information was breeched! If needed I will take legal actions necessary to heal the damages done to me by XXXX, Experian, XXXX and the other creditors ( XXXX XXXX ). 

I have also sent a copy of my consumer reports with every single inaccuracy, misleading and misreporting account highlighted in either pink or orange specifying every single error in my consumer report. 

IF NEEDED I WILL TAKE LEGAL ACTIONS NECESSARY TO HEAL THE DAMAGES DONE TO ME BY XXXX, EXPERIAN, XXXX AND OTHER CREDITORS ( FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS ) FOR USING, SHARING, BUYING, SELLING, TRADING AND ALSO FOR FAILLING TO PROTECT MY NONPUBLIC PERSONAL INFORMATION ( 15 USC & 6801 ).
