I used to think the economy was bad, but after seeing my credit report, its clear whats really worse the errors that are tanking my credit score. It's beyond frustrating to deal with all this incorrect information, and its causing me serious stress. As a consumer, I have the right to an accurate report, but instead, I'm stuck in this mess. Its ironic, too, because Id probably need therapy for the stress, but I couldnt even pay for it since my cards would get declined thanks to these wrong details on my report.

On XXXX XXXX, 2024 I applied through XXXX to US Bank a balance transfer card for {$20000.00} to pay off my XXXX XXXX  XXXX credit card and was told on the US Bank sight that it was no interest for 18 months. I was approved and was told the instructions for the balance transfer would be sent to me. ( I got lots of emails telling me the card was on the way and I could even track it but their link does not allow you to track it with out a card in your hand and even after I told them this the tech employee said yes " you are right '' ) The product that I applied for does not exist with US Bank. They let you apply under the pretense that this product is avaiable but it is not. I get the card for {$3600.00} and now after XXXX calls and being cut off and transferred I finally got an employee, XXXX, who explained we don't have that type of product and once you are approved for a card then you need to ask for a credit line increase and if approved then you need to call back and set up the balance transfer. This is not what they are advertising and consumers are getting ripped off. I did not want a new card just to use it and become one of their regular credit card customers and ruin my credit score. I was doing it to close my XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX credit card and use an interest only card for 18 months to pay off this high balance. This is deceptive and fraudulent on the part of US Babk.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

I am writing to formally dispute the egregious neglect and procedural failure of the major credit bureausEquifax, Experian, and XXXX addressing and correcting blatantly inaccurate information on my credit reports. Despite multiple attempts to resolve these discrepancies, the bureaus have failed to take any corrective action or even acknowledge my disputes, which is both unacceptable and damaging to my financial well-being. 

I have disputed this information with the bureaus 4 times : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, now XX/XX/XXXX. The Credit Bureaus NEVER sent letters back to notify me of changes or my updated Credit report according to XXXX XXXX. When I called each one, I was dealing with an automated response that would hang up after XXXX minutes I did not want to have to involve the CFPB, but feel I am left with no choice. Myself, being an older Veteran, can not keep spinning my wheels getting nowhere. 

The XXXX items in question are XXXX XXXX  XXXX - XXXX XXXX - XXXX and XXXX. 

Each time, I provided comprehensive documentation proving the inaccuracies and outlining the corrections needed. However, the credit bureaus have just ignored my disputes, and when I try and call, the automated system hangs up. I feel they are taking advantage of Consumers.

This repeated failure to address my disputes is not only a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act but also a gross negligence of the duty to ensure the accuracy and integrity of consumer credit information. I urge the CFPB to investigate this matter immediately and hold the credit bureaus accountable for their persistent failure to uphold their responsibilities. 

I trust that the CFPB will address this matter with the urgency and seriousness it warrants. My financial reputation and peace of mind are at stake, and I look forward to your prompt resolution of this issue.

A collection company XXXX XXXX XXXX has decided that they will illegally try to collect on a XXXX account from XXXX. They are embolden by the lack of thoroughness to verify the debt by Experion, XXXX and XXXX. 

I've asked the collection company and credit reporting agencies for actual verification and they've not provided. I've disputed it and these companies obviously takes the word of the collection company without asking for verification documents showing when and where the debt occurred. 

Seven ( 7 ) years is the maximum time credit agencies can report a debt per Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I think it's fair to say 14 years exceeds that timeframe.
