Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

My account with EXPERIAN was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 


This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 


I demand the late payment reported in ( MONTHS REPORTING LATE ) to be removed. 


They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

EXPERIAN Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 


Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

Experian is reporting an old paid off & Closed account with a comment added by me that says " Account information disputed by consumer ( Meets requirement of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ). '' This information was submitted by me years ago, and that statement was incorrect, as I was disputing the date which the creditor was alleging the account went into default. The account has since been paid off. The account in question is XXXX XXXX XXXX ( credit card ), CLOSED and PAID OFF, prior charge off ( before payoff ) in the amount of {$470.00}. NOTE, there is also an OPEN VALID account on my credit file with XXXX XXXX, it is NOT this account. 
Since XXXX, I have requested Experian remove my statement, and they have removed it over XXXX times, and then put it back on days later. The latest was XX/XX/XXXX, when they emailed me " the dispute was open '' then hours later emailed " the dispute is resolved '' ... which should have meant the remarks were removed, but their own investigation conclusion shows under " before and after '' that the statement remains. The statement was put on by me at my request, and should be removed. This is preventing me from obtaining a refinance on my home. I have submitted disputes in writing to them over XXXX times. The last representative informed me that if it keeps being put back on the credit file, then I need to submit a fraud dispute, as the account ( albeit old and paid off ) is being reported fraudulently. I did this. Experian open a dispute, " investigated '' and then closed it stating they updated it ... ..but the remark remains. The information is NOT being reported to Exp by the creditor as XXXX the account was paid off, the credit reported it as such and has not reported anything to Experian since XXXX

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

In XX/XX/XXXX, I entered into a disaster forbearance, due to a storm in XXXX. Prior to the forbearance ended, I called on XX/XX/XXXX to apply for resolution to the forbearance. I was told the process was an application, which I completed over the phone. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called back and was told I was put into another forbearance. I asked that I be reevaluated for other programs. I again did an application over the phone. I was assured that I was in loss mitigation and that my credit report would not be affected during this process. I called again on XX/XX/XXXX for a status update, I was told the application that was supposed to be done on XX/XX/XXXX was not done and I had to do another XXXX, which I did. On XX/XX/XXXX, this same thing happened again ; again on XX/XX/XXXX I went through the same process again after I received approval for the Stand Alone Partial Claim twice, and it was not honored either time. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called after returning the acceptance of the Partial Claim and was told I was put back in a forbearance. Each time I spoke with my mortgage company I asked about my credit and was assured that I would not be affected because I was in this process. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called after finding out that it has been reported that I was delinquent on my credit report and was on hold for XXXX hour and XXXX minutes for a supervisor, the supervisor answered and put me back on hold. I was then told that she would get back to me within XXXX. I have not received a call back to date. My credit is still affected and my issue with the forbearance remains.

" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting.
