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

Complaint:
I have tried several times to work with Experian ( along with XXXX ) to remove inaccuracies within my credit report, and they have continuously refused to even investigate my claims. Each time, I recieve a bogus, auto-generated response - even though I am sending PROOF that the claim is valid. Please see their email response below : " We received a recent request regarding your credit information that does not appear to have been sent directly by you or to be authorized by you. As a precautionary measure, we have not taken any action on your alleged request. According to the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, " '' if the completeness or accuracy of any item of information contained in a consumers file at a national consumer credit reporting company is disputed by the consumer and the consumer notifies the company directly of such dispute, the company shall reinvestigate free of charge. '' '' Therefore, you can dispute any inaccurate information directly with Experian for free '' There is NO law that states a consumer can not use a third party, so using that as their excuse is irrelevant. In fact, the United States Congress has found the whole process so overwhelming that they afford consumers the right to use a third party on their behalf if the consumer so chooses. 

Even so, I have sent these letters myself now on 4 occasions ( XX/XX/2023, XX/XX/2023, XX/XX/2023, XX/XX/2023 ) .. the companies are ruining people 's lives and are not being held accountable. 

Thank you in advance for looking into these issues.

Complaint:
Today, XX/XX/22 I obtained my credit reports from XXXX Credit Report website, per usual Equifax 's wouldn't work. Before ( like the past few years ) I never had the time to sit on the phone or they were closed for the day by time I could call them, but today I did after yet another " failed verification '' even though XXXX and XXXX has never had an issue. After waiting on hold for XXXX minutes, the lady sent me a link to upload my license front, back, and a picture of myself to then be told it didn't verify. A FOR PROFIT company illegally not letting us obtain our reports is highly unethical and illegal per yours and XXXX acts. I find it very unsettling that they want everything but a blood sample but won't give you the information that is being used against you, because they are paid off by the supposed scamming debt XXXX.

Why are you continuing to report this account when I notified you that the company has agreed to remove it from my credit report? You failed to conduct an investigation, even when I sent proof that my identity was stolen as well as the debt delete letter from the company. XXXX has since removed this account, yet you are still reporting it when all data furnished should be consistent. If this is not removed from my credit report within 7 days, I will be seeking monetary compensation and taking this to small claims court due to negligence and violation of the FCRA.

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

Complaint:
I am writing to dispute the information that appears on my credit report regarding the charge off of my account with XXXX XXXX - XXXX. The account in question is listed on my credit report as being charged off with a balance of XXXX, which is inaccurate. 

I dispute the charge off of my account for the following reasons : The creditor did not provide me with sufficient notice of the impending charge off, and I was not given an opportunity to make payment arrangements before the account was charged off. 

The amount listed as charged off on my credit report is incorrect. I have proof of payments that I made towards the balance, and the amount charged off should be lower than what is currently reported. 

The creditor did not follow proper procedures for charging off the account. They did not provide the required notices or follow the correct timeline for charging off the account. 

The charge off is the result of an error or misunderstanding. There was a miscommunication between me and the creditor about the status of the account or the amount owed. 

The creditor have violated my rights under federal or state laws, such as the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) or the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

The creditor did not properly apply payments made to the account. Some payments were not credited to the account or were credited incorrectly. 

The creditor did not provide me with a full accounting of the amount owed on the account, including interest and fees. I was charged fees or interest that were not disclosed or that I did not agree to. 

The charge off is the result of a billing dispute or error. I disputed a charge on my account and the creditor charged off the entire account instead of just the disputed amount. 

I request that you investigate this matter and remove the inaccurate information from my credit report as soon as possible. Please also provide me with a written confirmation of the correction and an updated copy of my credit report. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
