Consumer complaint received 2024-10-02
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (PA)

I have carefully reviewed the information provided in the letter regarding the CFPB inquiry for the account of XXXX XXXX XXXX. Based on my analysis of the relevant case law, I would like to dispute several aspects of the response provided by XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

Firstly, the letter states that the account originated with XXXX XXXX, XXXX. on XX/XX/XXXX, and was subsequently charged off on XX/XX/XXXX with a balance of {$9800.00}. However, according to the case law established in Buchanan vXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 776 F.3d 393 ( 6th Cir. XXXX  ), the statute of limitations for collecting on a charged-off debt may be significantly shorter than the original contract period. Depending on the applicable state law, the statute of limitations could be as short as three years from the date of charge-off. If the current owner, XXXX XXXX XXXX, acquired the account after the expiration of the statute of limitations, they may not have a valid legal claim to collect on the debt. 

Secondly, the letter states that the current owner, XXXX XXXX XXXX, is not currently reporting the account to the credit bureaus. However, according to the case law established in Pinkerton v. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, 53 F.3d 708 ( 5th Cir. XXXXXXXX ), a debt collector 's failure to report a debt to credit bureaus may be considered a deceptive or unfair practice under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). If XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX have chosen not to report the debt to credit bureaus, they may be in violation of the FDCPA.

Lastly, the letter states that the current owner, XXXX XXXX XXXX, acquired all ownership rights, including the rights to collect on the account and to report to the credit bureaus, if eligible. However, the case law established in Henson v. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, 137 S. Ct. 1718 ( XXXX ), suggests that the mere purchase of a debt does not automatically confer the status of " debt collector '' under the FDCPA. XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX may need to provide additional evidence to demonstrate that they have the legal authority to collect on this debt and report it to credit bureaus.

In conclusion, based on the relevant case law, I believe there are several potential issues with the response provided by XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX that should be further investigated.

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. (FL)

I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report.

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified item listed below still remains on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct.

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verified that this item is being reported correctly? Who verified this item? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly CORRECT or DELETE all information which can not be verified.

Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non-complying with the FCRA.

Since you claim youve verified the item listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the company directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof. So, my question comes up again, WHO VERIFIED THIS ITEM? I believe you have not verified this item based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

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.

filed a dispute regarding incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they assume the disputes are coming from a third party, which is not the case. I even called to verify my identity, but they still refused to process my disputes. I ended up wasting money on mailing my disputes and sent personal information through the mail to verify my identity, only for them to not thoroughly investigate.

This debt collector has engaged in practices that violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). They have reported an account that I did not consent to, and there is no signed agreement from me authorizing it. A valid legal contract requires the signatures of both parties, and I was not involved in such an agreement. Furthermore, they failed to adhere to the proper 5-step validation process as mandated by the FDCPA. These actions clearly infringe upon my rights under the law, and I am entitled to compensation for these violations. I demand the immediate removal of this accountfrommyrecord.
