I will copy and paste a copy of their message here : Thank you for submitting your complaint on XX/XX/2020, through the CFPB Complaint Portal. We appreciate consumers who take the time to let us know about their experiences with our company. We have reviewed and considered the information you have supplied through the CFPB portal and directly to Experian. Our research indicates that you have contacted Experian to request a reinvestigation regarding disputed item ( s ). Therefore, at your request to begin a reinvestigation, we are in the process of contacting the data furnishers as needed to verify the accuracy of the information with which you disagree. Please note that an investigation may take up to 30 days. Upon completion, the results summary will be provided directly to you for review. If you have any additional supporting new documentation regarding the disputed information or any new disputes, you may forward that to Experian for further review. If you disagree with the results of the reinvestigations, it is your legal right, under the FCRA, to add a 100-word statement specifying the nature of your dispute. The consumer statement will appear on your credit report and be viewable upon inquiry. If you would like our assistance in providing a concise statement, please contact us directly at the telephone number or address provided on your personal credit report and we would be happy to assist you. You may refer to the credit report that you received for the name, phone number ( if available ) and address of the data furnisher or public records office name who verified that information. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), a national consumer credit reporting agencys role in the dispute process is to review the accuracy and completeness of any disputed item which may include contacting the furnisher of the information or the vendor that collected the information from a public record source, such as a court or other government office, notifying them of the disputed information and disclosing all relevant information regarding the consumers dispute. In order to help resolve the consumers dispute, Experian will review all relevant documents submitted by the consumer with the dispute and will forward such documents to the furnisher if Experian is unable to resolve the issue based on those documents. Consumers may also contact creditors directly to dispute items reported by the creditor. If the issue is not resolved, then the consumer credit reporting agency must offer to include a consumer statement on the personal credit report. When you dispute the accuracy or completeness of information on your personal credit report and tell us specifically why you believe the information is inaccurate or incomplete, we process your dispute as required by law. We contact the furnisher of the information or the vendor that collected the information from a public record source such as a court or other government office. We ask the furnisher or the vendor to conduct a thorough and complete investigation to verify all of the information regarding the item you disputed, and report back within 30 days of the date that we received your request ( 21 days for Maine residents and 45 days for disputes of information on an annual free credit report ). We review and consider the response to determine whether to accept it, reject it, or follow up for additional information. If, after processing, we find that the disputed information is inaccurate, incomplete or can not be verified, we then delete that information, or modify that information, as appropriate, based upon your dispute and the results of our processing. If we do not receive a response from the furnisher or the vendor within the required period, we update the item as you have requested or delete the information, and send you the results. In some instances, upon reviewing your credit file and any relevant information you have submitted to us, we are able to determine whether the disputed information should be changed or deleted without having to contact the furnisher or the vendor. After we complete our processing, we send you the results. In addition to your right to dispute information in your credit file with the credit reporting agencies, you also have the right to dispute information in your credit report directly with the furnisher of the information. Please note that there is nothing a credit repair company can do for you, including removing inaccurate credit information that you cant do for yourself for free. We believe it is important to supply you with information about specific credit repair laws. The Credit Repair Organization Act, a federal law, prohibits credit repair companies from taking consumers money until they have fully completed the services they promised. It also requires such firms to provide consumers with a written contract stating all the services to be provided and the terms and conditions of payment. Under this law, consumers also have three days to withdraw from the contract. Please contact your local Attorney Generals office for further information regarding your specific state laws. For additional assistance, you may call the toll free telephone number provided on your personal credit report obtained directly from Experian, to speak with a representative, or write to Experian at XXXX.
