State: TX
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: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
This is a follow up with regards to complaint # XXXX filed with you guys regarding Experian Credit Bureau XXXX 

I reached out to you ( CFPB ) to inform you that Experian is not following protocol put in place by the FTC. It is my understanding that there is a process for disputing and if you look at my initial complaint you can or should be able to clearly see they are not following the process and adhering to the reinvestigation process. I have given it another 15 days but have yet to receive any real documentation on their process of validating so therefore I believe the following items should be removed. If they can not show me the steps taken to validate the inacuries I see then by law this is grounds for removal. After several attempts to remedy these items and XXXX efforts on Experian 's behalf I am confident the time has come to remove the said items. It is not only affecting my credit history negatively but also my livelihood this is when I take it personal!

Company: Suttell, Hammer & White, P.S
State: ID
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint:
Why this happened is they were being unreasonable with interest rates and payments during XXXX it kept going up and up then they lowered it a little and not enough and I just gave up. The amount is not correct and amount on the card was all for medical/dental charges not shopping sprees and garbage. 
XXXX was charged off and reported on credit report which indicates that they wrote it off the books and took a credit on taxes so they have re-couped their funds. 
Recently, in XXXX XXXX XXXX I had requested copies of statements that I was missing for tax purposes and could no longer access due to the account being closed. I requested these by letter to their Customer Service Dept 3 times by USPS mail with the last request being on XX/XX/ I would be forced to estimate the charges. 
I received a shady looking letter from a law firm in XXXX, WA that was signed by someone, attorney at law with no attorney reg/license number. Along with the letter was sent to me statements that I did NOT ask for and NOT the ones I did ask for. 
This letter stated " XXXX XXXX IS THE CURRENT CREDITOR AND ORIGNINAL CREDITOR '' which is not true. They charged it off and sold it to how many entities is not known along with my personal information! Which is " Identity Theft ''. 
My personal bank account was recently compromised in XXXX XXXX with two transactions totaling {$650.00} with online orders at XXXX and 4 overdraft fees of {$35.00} each for which I was only reimbursed for 1 and threatened by the bank that they may not reimburse me for the fraud. I closed my account and went elsewhere and did let people know how the bank treated me. 
Now, I find out that someone is trying to serve me legal documents. They trespassed on property that clearly has large signs at the entry and half way through that says " NO TRESPASSING '' and stuck a sticky note on my landlord 's door with a message to contact them. 
My landlord is now freaked out because they ignored the " NO TRESPASSING '' sign. Their next stop may be at my employment and a phone number and my name at the bottom which does not indicate what company they are representing and suspiciously looks like the same handwriting on the address label of the envelope that the law firm sent me the erroneous statements that I DID NOT ASK FOR which proves nothing. 
I did some research on the phone number that was provided on the sticky note and did a background search on the person. If all is true, they don't have a legal standing serving legal documents and their business name " GPS SERVICES '' does not exist. 
This is all looking like a scam and identity theft to me. 
Clear violations of privacy. And I want that debt removed from my credit report since they have already been paid more than once.
