Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (GA)

Upon a thorough review of my credit report, I have identified multiple errors that have adversely affected my credit score. These errors are not a true reflection of my credit history, and I believe they may have resulted from clerical mistakes, identity theft, or outdated information. I am requesting that these inaccuracies be promptly investigated and removed to ensure my credit report accurately reflects my financial responsibility. The incorrect information has caused undue harm to my credit score, which can affect my ability to secure credit and other financial opportunities. I trust that you will address this matter with the urgency it requires and make the necessary corrections.

I still have this account. ) When I contacted the creditor, they stated that my card wasn't issued automatically because I had a late payment. It was confusing since the notice of breach via email and a payment was within 13 days of each other. Finally, on XXXX/2020, I received the new card that the email stated that I would receive automatically. 
I have disputed this information several times through the credit bureau. I have even filed a XXXX XXXX. XXXX see their response attached, which had some discreptancies ) The creditor refused to assume any responsibility for THEIR data breach, lack of communication on current account numbers and reissuance of cards and THEIR ADMINISTRATIVE ERRORS and how this has affected my credit.

All documents proving these statements are attached. 
I am making this final attempt before pursuing legal matters stating how their errors is damaging my future.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MI)

I have submitted the following information via the CFPB to Experian on XX/XX/XXXX & XX/XX/XXXX : " I had a credit card account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The credit card was opened XX/XX/XXXX, and was charged off in XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX has incorrectly reported the dates of the bill being current, which they report as ONLY the months of XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. The bill was currentXX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX. The bill was charged off in XX/XX/XXXX, however the information on the credit report shows the bill as being charged off in XX/XX/XXXX. They also reported the last payment as XX/XX/XXXX, which is incorrect. This caused a severe decrease in the on-time payment percentages shown on my credit report. Secondly, after the closing of my personal bank account with XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX, they revoked my account usage which prevented me from using their app and website to make payments. I settled the debt directly with XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX for {$81.00}, after receiving a letter in the mail. However, the reported balance on my credit report prior to XX/XX/XXXX was shown as {$810.00}. The items I cite as being violations of the FCRA are -posting the high balance ( XXXX ), which is higher than the collections representative had me pay ( XXXX ), -an incorrect date of first delinquency reported which is required by FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( a ), -and it would be in violation of FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ) if this information is continued to be reported. Furthermore, there are 0 sections in the FCRA that prohibit deletion. I have attached screenshots showing the date of payment and amount, and how they changed the dates of current/past due/charged off on my credit reports. I want this account to be completely removed and deleted from my credit report due to the multiple violations of the FCRA stated above. '' On both occasions, Experian failed to review the information I submitted and responded with false information. By not removing the incorrect information from my report, and continuing to perpetuate such falsehoods, they continue to violate multiple FCRA statutes. I will attach the screenshots from the original complaints below.

Company: Vermont Student Assistance Corporation (CO)

I'd like to bring to your attention.- the equivalent of pay day loans. The Vermont Student Assistance Corp has zero moral compass. They are greed driven and have no true interest in helping students with their education. I am the parent of a student that attended XXXX XXXX out of state ) I was forced/extorted in to co-signing a loan in 2008 so my son could continue his studies. The Original loan Amount {$4900.00} - they skim off the top $ XXXX leaving {$4200.00} for the student. As the cosigner i have been making payments for years. Currently as of XXXX statement, I have paid a total of {$4200.00} to VSAC ... .. and the outstanding balance is still @ {$3500.00}. If i were able to pay this amount today- I will have paid @ {$7700.00}. to pay back a net loan of {$4200.00}. So the criminal XXXX will profit {$750.00} + {$3400.00} = {$4200.00} on a {$4200.00} loan. This is beyond criminal maybe you can address this.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA)

My credit score into XX/XX/2021 was XXXX. Without any changes to credit activity my score dropped XX/XX/2021 to XXXX. This affected a loan for a car. I needed to have my daughter get the car with me on the loan. At first I was asked to pay 14.5 % interest with my daughter who has an excellent score. I printed the details for company to see what happened. I was lucky to get a better rate yet still had to have my daughter on the loan. With the car loan my credit should build from XXXX not XXXX. 
Also, I had a XXXX credit card was on my credit report then was removed. 
I've tried to resolve this to no avail. 
The purpose of credit in my use is to build my score. 
Why would I use credit if not to build my score? 
Copies of report available if necessary.

Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION (UT)

Service Finance Company , LLC reporting me 1x30 days late and 1x60 days late in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I was on set up on auto pay for years, my payment history can attest. At least, I thought I was. I wrote Service Finance Company a letter this year asking them to investigate my file and remove the late payments, because I was on auto pay. They replied with a vague form letter saying the late payments are accurate. Clearly, they didnt look at my account as they provided no details as to my concern of being on auto pay. My contention is, I need a human being to review my file to establish the problem. Accordingly, I sent the attached follow up letter dated ( XX/XX/XXXX ) asking Service Finance Company to explain why there would be a late payment if I was on auto pay. Again, I received a vague form letter response. Its attached ( dated XX/XX/XXXX ). 

I am writing you for your assistance in contacting Service Finance Company and have them provide information as to why I was late if I was on auto pay. Also, if there was an issue with auto pay, why wasnt I properly notified. With respect to US Code 1666 ( section 6 ), I was not notified of this late payment. Again I ask, regardless of auto pay issues, why wasnt I notified of a late or missed payment? This section of the law says Failure to transmit the statement required under section 1637 ( b ) of this title to the last address of the obligor which has been disclosed to the creditor, unless that address was furnished less than twenty days before the end of the billing cycle for which the statement is required.
