State: CA
Product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Personal information

Complaint:
I have an Experian member account under the name I use on a daily basis. In XX/XX/2016 I had identity theft. I filled out the FTC Identity Theft Report & police reports using my full legal name as the form requested. 
When I extended my fraud alert to 7 years using my full legal name, I discovered Experian has me in their system under both names, as if I 'm two different people with two different report numbers ; one report number accepted 7 yrs & other asked for same backup info I sent with the accepted report. The Experian site does n't offer an option to correct it. I was on hold 3 hours before I got live person to talk to & was told he could n't do anything about it. And that I 'd have to contact their XXXX which he told me is their Corp office. They are only ones who can fix it. I emailed them & my email was blocked. I 'm dealing with Identity Theft trying to keep my information correct and secure and I ca n't reach Experian, who 's supposed to be protecting it, to put my reports under the FTC ID Theft report number I filed.

Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
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 erroneously reported that I was 30 days past due in XX/XX/2019 on my account ending in XXXX. In fact, I made two payments on said account during the month of XXXX and they have refused to remove this error. I reached out to them on or around XX/XX/2019 and the representative did not address what I asked them to address. He mentioned that I missed a payment in XXXX and when I proved it to him that the company was in error, it was not corrected on my credit profile on all three bureaus. I am requesting that this error be removed from my credit profile on all three bureaus ( XXXX, Equifax and XXXX ) as it hinders me from securing credit in the future. I plan to continue my relationship with XXXX XXXX moving forward and I am just simply requesting that the error they made be corrected as soon as possible.

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:
To Whom it May Concern, In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, everything has to be 100 % accurate on my consumer report and under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Equifax is in violation of not reporting 100 % accurate and not reporting at all. 

On XX/XX/2022 I sent in a dispute letter to Equifax asking them to verify a bankruptcy they are reporting on my credit report, I never recieved a response. 

I also disputed the same bankruptcy with XXXX and XXXX. 
XXXX deleted the bankruptcy, meaning they couldnt verify it. 
I'm still battling with XXXX on this matter. 

On XX/XX/2022 I sent in another dispute letter to Equifax making them aware that if they don't respond or comply with my dispute letter I would file complaint with the CFPB, the XXXX  and the Attorney General 's office and sue for damages. 

I still haven't recieved a response. Instead they deleted my whole credit report and score. They haven't been reporting for the past 4-5 months. ( see attachment ) I have been reaching out to them to try to fix this matter ( dispute letter attached ), but unfortunately they won't respond. 

I need your help with this matter.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) is a federal law that protects consumers ' rights to access and correct their credit reports. The FCRA also sets rules for how credit reporting companies can collect and report information about consumers. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) announced new rules that would require credit reporting companies to remove certain types of collections accounts from consumers ' credit reports after two years. The new rules went into effect on XX/XX/XXXX. 

Under the new rules, credit reporting companies must remove collections accounts that are : More than two years old Not disputed by the consumer Not listed as paid in full The new rules do not apply to collections accounts that are : Still within the statute of limitations for collection Involving bankruptcy For government debts, such as student loans or taxes If you have a collections account on your credit report that is more than two years old, you can request that it be removed. You can do this by contacting the credit reporting company directly or by filing a dispute with the CFPB. 

The new FCRA laws about collections older than 2 years are a major victory for consumers. These laws will help consumers improve their credit scores and access credit. They will also make it more difficult for credit reporting companies to keep inaccurate or outdated information on consumers ' credit reports. 

Here are some additional things to keep in mind about the new FCRA laws about collections older than 2 years : The new rules only apply to collections accounts that are reported on credit reports. If a collections account is not reported on your credit report, the new rules do not apply. 
The new rules do not apply to all collections accounts. The new rules only apply to collections accounts that are more than two years old, not disputed by the consumer, and not listed as paid in full. 
If you have a collections account that is more than two years old, you can request that it be removed from your credit report. You can do this by contacting the credit reporting company directly or by filing a dispute with the CFPB

Transunion is in violation of FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681, 611 ( a ) ( 6 ) and ( 7 ). They continue not to investigate the inaccurate information that they are reporting on my credit file. They have not provided me with Physical evidence as to who, what, where they are getting this inaccurate information. They merely are speculating and putting " updated, '' and " remains. '' None of which show me how exactly they verified any of the inaccurate accounts on my file. This is my final attempt before I am forced to pursue litigation in my local circuit court. I have provided a description of each inaccurate account and case law surrounding what FCRA laws there are to abide by, which they have not been doing.

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I was contacted by XXXX saying my M & T mortgage was 3 months late and was up for foreclosure. I should have checked, I was actually only 2 months behind, almost. They instructed me to do a modification mortgage. They said, " Do not make your XX/XX/XXXX payment and the modification can start and lower your monthly payment drastically ''. I did as instructed like an XXXX. XXXX was to b my first payment. They set up a time and date for me to call in my payment. XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX was the same appointments. I was only allowed to talk to XXXX. No one else could take my payment. At the end of XX/XX/XXXX, they told me to wait on a letter and mail my payments with the slips to M & T. XX/XX/XXXX I finally get the letter. They said my payment would not be counted late since they did not have the paper work ready. But even though I mailed in my payments when they said for XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX, they counted them late. I paid my payments to who they said and did what they said when they said and they reported me as 120 days late on my credit reports. Then, they tell me to give it time and my credit report would straighten itself out. No, it still has not. And my payment went down only XXXX bucks and they added XXXX grand to my mortgage. I have petitioned the credit bureaus twice about this unfair reporting and M & T 4 times and XXXX refuses to talk to me. I just want the six months of on time payments to show as on time.
