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:
I sent dispute letters to TransUnion, XXXX and XXXX on XX/XX/2023 and asked them to reinvestigate the following accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX I asked them several times to correct this information and they keep responding that the information has been verified. The credit bureaus keep disrespecting the laws. I showed them multiple times how they are violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

According to 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ) the credit bureaus have to modify or delete accounts that are not reporting accurately.

According to 15 USC 1681b ( 1 ) the credit bureaus dont have no written permission.

According to 15 USC 1681 I have a right to privacy According to 15 USC 1681S-2 A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 

( B ) Reporting information after notice and confirmation of errors A person shall not furnish information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if- ( i ) the person has been notified by the consumer, at the address specified by the person for such notices, that specific information is inaccurate ; and ( ii ) the information is, in fact, inaccurate In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act Everything has to be 100 % accurate on my report. 

The credit bureau stated my account was properly investigated but how is that possible if the open date is inaccurate, the date last active is inaccurate, the date last reported is inaccurate, the high credit is inaccurate, credit limit inaccurate, date of last payment is inaccurate, account status is not accurate. This is grounds for removal. 

I can go on and on about how the credit bureaus have no respect for the laws. 

Someone needs to hold them accountable for this.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MS
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score
Sub-issue: Other problem getting your report or credit score

Complaint:
I am trying to improve my credit score. I used the simulators on the credit report services that are included with 3 of my credit cards. They indicated that my score would increase 100-150 points if I paid {$27000.00} down on my credit cards. I did and my scores only increased 10-20 points. I closely monitor the timing differences between what I have actually paid versus what has been reported to the credit reporting agency. There are very few differences. 

I took money out of my retirement account to pay down this debt because of what the score simulators told me. Now my scores are still in the 665-686 range and my retirement account has {$27000.00} less than it should have. If these simulators had told the truth, I would not have taken money out of my 401k. A small increase in my score was not worth reducing my retirement account.

Complaint:
Originally the credit card was declined on XX/XX/XXXX. I called and they said they needed to send me new cards. I never received new cards. I called XX/XX/XXXX to report this. They said they were sending me papers to verify my identity. Never received. I called XX/XX/XXXX and told them to cancel my card. They said they will cancel. I then get a letter in the mail asking if I changed my address. I called and was told the account was closed. XX/XX/XXXX my checking account was charged {$7500.00} from this credit card. I called and was told I have to send a copy of my drivers license and copies of utility bills. I overnighted them that day. I called today XX/XX/XXXX and was told it would take 1 months to investigate. In the meantime I am out {$7500.00}. When we used this card we never charged more than {$750.00}. Wouldnt you think they would have called it suspicious if we charged that much? Synchrony Bank is not helpful. If someone wants to change their address they should require them to produce the information I had to providel

My name is XXXX XXXX and I am writing this letter to request for a dispute to be opened for the following inquires be removed as the inquiries dont belong to me. I did not apply for any of the following inquires which means they are all fraudulent and are errors on my credit report that needs to be removed. I tried disputing this with Transunion and they declined to assist me with this issue. My understanding about Transunion reporting information is that everything reporting should be factual and true, but the information in the letter is not factual and Transunion does not have proof or any form of evidence. I am requesting the following information be removed from my credit report. I am a victim of Identity theft and the police report is attached with the letter listing all the inquires that don't belong to me. I submitted this complaint before and Transunion claimed that this is a credit repair company helping me, but this is self ( XXXX XXXX ).  See letter.
