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

Complaint:
Pursuant to the FCRA, it is EXPERIAN 's grave duty and responsibility to report correct and accurate information on my credit report and file. However, they are not doing so. EXPERIAN is reporting inaccurate late payments for the XXXX/ DEPT OF ED account ending in XXXX. The inaccurate late payments include the reporting of 150 days delinquent on XX/XX/2018. This is incorrect and is supposed to be reporting as PAID AS AGREED. Moreover, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) of the FCRA, a consumer report does not contain information or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. A late payment is a " transaction ''. Therefore, the reporting of the inaccurate late payments results in EXPERIAN violating my federally protected consumer rights. To add to this, I did NOT give EXPERIAN written instruction/ permission to furnish these inaccurate late payments on my report or file, violating 15 U.S.C . 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ). It is VERY VERY clear that EXPERIAN has violated my rights under the FCRA and the reporting of the inaccurate late payments has caused me and my reputation severe harm and discrimination.

Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
My escrow with Wells Fargo has resulted in a refund for the past year because they took too much to cover insurance and taxes. They say they are using current amounts as the anticipated amounts for next year. But, they are raising my monthly payment. If the actual amounts, which they are using for the upcoming year, result in an overage, then why raise the monthly payment? When I asked the question, I was told those are the rules. There should be some sort of justification that makes sense, not those are the rules.

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many information, accounts, or items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA the 3 Credit Bureaus are required by law to remove & block any accounts or information which is found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please remove these files. XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$5000.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$2600.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$450.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX CA XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX  XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ; If the credit bureaus feel there is a possibility these items belong to me I will require all documentation that bears my signature ( another research item I found that requires you to verify with 100 % accuracy that each item is 100 % true, accurate, correct, complete & VERIFIABLE ). If the credit bureaus do not provide any records & claim the item is verified please understand I will seek legal action. I do not take kindly to games nor does my attorney.

Complaint:
I am writing to bring an urgent matter to your attention regarding a fraudulent collection account that has appeared on my credit report. I kindly request your immediate assistance in investigating and removing this account from my credit file. 

I have recently discovered that a collection account, listed under Financial Assistance Acct # XXXX, has been erroneously added to my credit report.
