Company 's Response Thank you for submitting your complaint on  XX/XX/2020, through the CFPB Complaint Portal. We reviewed and considered the information you have supplied through the CFPB portal. Your CFPB complaint regarding your reinvestigation 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 the 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. If you believe that information in your personal credit report is inaccurate or incomplete, please call us at the phone number that displays on your Experian personal credit report or visit our secure web site at www. experian.com/dispute. You also may write to us at the address on your Experian personal credit report. Be sure to include the following information : Your full name including  middle initial ( and generation such as JR, SR, II, III ) Social Security number Complete addresses for the past two years Date of birth One copy of a government issued identification card, such as a drivers license, state ID card, etc. One copy of a utility bill, bank or insurance statement, etc. Make sure that each copy is legible and displays your name and current mailing address and the date of issue ( statement dates must be recent ). We are unable to accept credit card statements, voided checks, lease  agreements, magazine subscriptions, or postal service forwarding orders as proof of your address and identity. To protect your personal information, Experian requires your authorization for any request on your behalf and we do not return correspondence sent to us. Send copies of any documents you wish to provide to us and always retain your original documents. Include the account name and number for any item on your credit report that you wish to dispute, and state the specific reason why you feel the information is inaccurate. The dispute process may take up to 30 days ( 45 days when disputing information in your annual free credit report ). Once we complete the processing of your dispute, we will promptly notify you of the outcome. In addition, 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.
