Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

I recently discovered that I am a victim of identity theft. So I am writing to request an EXTENDED FRAUD ALERT to be immediately placed in my credit file so that no new credit will be approved or issued until the lender first verified my identity. Fortunately, in accordance with the FCRA Sections 605B,615 ( f ) and 623 ( a ) ( 6 ), an identity theft report can be used to permanent block fraudulent information that results from identity theft, such as accounts or addresses from appearing on a victims credit report. Identity theft reports can prevent a company from continuing to collect debts that result from identity theft. Pursuant to the FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), please BLOCK ALL INFORMATION RESULTING FROM IDENTITY THEFT.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (PA)

I had an American Express card that I closed on XX/XX/2022. When closing the account my balance was {$0.00}. A month later I got a statement from American Express with a balance of {$150.00}. They said it was a charge back for a promo given to me many months before. I explained to them that I was not told anything about that and definitely wasn't told I would be charged {$150.00} if I closed the account. As a matter of fact the customer service representative that closed my account read to me on the phone a lengthy disclosure statement and never mentioned my closing the account will trigger a {$150.00} charge. I made numerous lengthy attempts both on the phone and on chat ( transcripts are available ) with the company to sort this out. I was told not to worry, and it will be taken care of but it takes 6-8 weeks. I waited for that meanwhile they continued to charge me late payment fees and finance charges. As of now I have a bill of {$260.00} on an account I closed with {$0.00} balance and I have not made any purchases. Please help! Thanks

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NY)

I previously disputed these accounts with the relevant credit bureau ( Experian ) requesting that they verify the accuracy and legitimacy of these accounts in compliance with the FCRA. However, the credit bureau was unable to provide valid documentation or evidence to verify these accounts correctly, despite their legal obligation to do so. As a result, these charge-off accounts remain on my credit report, causing significant harm to my credit score and overall financial situation. 

The accounts in question are as follows : XXXX. Account Number : XXXX Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX Reported : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX. Account Number : XXXX Creditor : XXXX XXXX Last Reported : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX. Account Number : XXXX Creditor : XXXX XXXX Reported : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX. Account Number : XXXX Creditor : XXXX XXXX Last Reported : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX. Account Number : XXXX Creditor : XXXX XXXX Reported : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX. Account Number : XXXX Creditor : XXXX XXXX Reported : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX. Account Number : XXXX Creditor : XXXX Last XXXX Since the credit bureau could not verify the accuracy of these accounts, I have reason to believe these accounts are fraudulent. I have already filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) regarding this matter because of the serious implications of having unverified and potentially fraudulent accounts remain on my credit report.

Under the FCRA, I have the right to dispute inaccurate or outdated information in my credit report. Specifically : FCRA Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) requires credit reporting agencies to conduct a reasonable investigation of disputed information and to delete or correct any information that can not be verified or is inaccurate.

FCRA Section 623 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ) places an obligation on furnishers of information to provide accurate data to credit bureaus. If they can not verify the accuracy of the data they are furnishing, they must cease reporting inaccurate information.

FCRA Section 605 ( b ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) provides that if any information on my credit report is the result of an identity theft or fraudulent transaction, I may request the removal of that information by submitting an identity theft report. Though not an identity theft case, this section emphasizes the importance of ensuring that information reported is verified and accurate, as any unverified or fraudulent entries must be removed.

FCRA Section 607 ( b ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ) mandates that credit reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy in credit reports.

I Attached to this complaint : previous dispute letter and a second dispute letter, FTC report, identity and address documents, accounts disputed, and all the inaccurate information highlighted. Thanks for your help
