I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the inaccurate reporting of a late payment on my credit report by credit bureaus. The presence of this late payment inaccurately reflects my payment history, as I have consistently paid my bills on time. This discrepancy constitutes a billing error, violating my rights under the Fair Credit Billing Act, 15 USC 1666B. According to this law, consumers have the right to dispute and seek correction of billing errors, which include inaccuracies in payment 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 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.

I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding Experians failure to remove inaccurate and/or disputed information related to a XXXX XXXX account from my credit report. This account has already been successfully removed from both XXXX and XXXX, yet Experian continues to report it. 

Nature of the Dispute The XXXX XXXX account in question is inaccurately reported on my Experian credit report. After disputing this account with XXXX and XXXX, both bureaus removed the information from my credit file. Despite this, Experian has failed to take similar action, in direct violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681.

Violation of FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i and 1681s-2 ) Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i, consumers are entitled to dispute inaccurate information with credit reporting agencies, and those agencies are required to conduct a reasonable investigation and remove or correct the information if it is found to be inaccurate or unverifiable.

Moreover, 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 prohibits the continued reporting of inaccurate information after it has been disputed and found to be inaccurate. Both XXXX and XXXX have acknowledged that this XXXX XXXX account was inaccurately reported and removed it from my credit file. Experians continued failure to do so demonstrates a failure to uphold its legal obligations. 

Impact on My Credit The failure to remove this inaccurate information is negatively affecting my credit score and financial well-being. The presence of this erroneous information on my Experian report is unjustified, especially since the other major credit bureaus have already removed it. 

Requested Action I respectfully request that the CFPB : Investigate Experians failure to remove the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX from my credit report. 
Enforce compliance with the FCRA, ensuring that Experian conducts a proper investigation and removes the inaccurate information from my credit report. 
Confirm the removal of this XXXX XXXX account from Experian and ensure the accuracy of my credit file. 
I have attached copies of my credit reports from XXXX and XXXX, which show that the XXXX XXXX account has been removed, as well as my Experian report, which continues to reflect the incorrect information. 

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I trust that the CFPB will take appropriate action to protect my rights and ensure the accuracy of my credit report.

In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of these items. Your failure to positively verify these accounts and inquiries has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

As per the guidance from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) the documents needed are a picture ID, a bill, and a letter from an advocacy group helping me due to XXXX XXXX debt bondage, which falls under XXXX  according to XXXX-Debt Final Rule 1002.142 ( b ) ( 4 ) -5 -- 1002.142 ( b ) ( 7 ).

I have given you my identification as well as the information requested from the list of acceptable items which only 2 are required per the Law. I have provided all needed documentation as well as a victim determination letter according to 1022.142 ( b ) ( 6 ).

To Whom It May Concern, Please consider this letter a formal dispute of the alleged debt pursuant to the FDCPA, 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ). I also request verification, validation, and the name and address of the original creditor pursuant to 15 U.S. C. 1692g ( b ).

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.

I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding unlawful actions taken by XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX a creditor reporting erroneous information on my credit report. Specifically, I believe XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX has violated provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681, by re-aging debt and continuing to report collections month after month in an attempt to extend the statute of limitations for this debt. 

Background I have been closely monitoring my credit report, and I noticed that XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX has been reporting the same debt account every month as new, even though the account is significantly older and should have been reported as a closed or static debt. This ongoing re-reporting seems to be a clear attempt to extend the statute of limitations illegally, as the debt in question is beyond the legal timeframe for collection or enforcement under my state 's statute of limitations laws. 

Violation of Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681c, creditors are required to accurately report the date of first delinquency and refrain from continuing to update the date in order to manipulate the reporting period. In this case, [ XXXX 's XXXX ] has been inaccurately updating the delinquency information, which has resulted in misleading information on my credit report. Section 1681s-2 ( a ) explicitly prohibits the furnishing of inaccurate information to credit reporting agencies. 

Additionally, the practice of continuously updating delinquent accounts to manipulate the age of the debt violates both the FCRA and the Unfair and Deceptive Acts and Practices ( UDAP ) under 15 U.S.C. 45 ( a ). Such deceptive tactics create an unfair burden on consumers by negatively impacting credit scores and extending the threat of collection indefinitely. 

Requested Action In light of these violations, I respectfully request the CFPB to : Investigate XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX for improper re-reporting of collection activity to credit bureaus. 
Require XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX to immediately cease the unlawful practice of re-aging this debt. 
Enforce penalties against XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX for their violation of federal laws, including the FCRA and XXXX provisions. 
Ensure that the negative account reporting is removed from my credit report. 
I have enclosed copies of relevant portions of my credit report as evidence of the improper reporting. Please feel free to contact me if any further information is required to investigate this matter. 

Thank you for your time and attention to this serious issue. I trust that the CFPB will take appropriate action to protect consumers from unlawful and unfair reporting practices.

Under 18 USC 894, it is unlawful for any entity to knowingly participate in the use of extortionate means to collect or attempt to collect any extension of credit, or to punish any person for the nonrepayment thereof.
