Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (PA)

" 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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late.

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on 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 the accounts listed below.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/year> Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX DC XXXX Subject : Request for Investigation of Consumer Rights Violations Dear CFPB, I am writing to formally request your assistance regarding a serious violation of my consumer rights related to inaccurate information on my credit reports maintained by Experian, XXXX, and XXXX. I have contacted the credit bureaus multiple time and nothing was never done expect saying that my file was accurate and that is false. There was also an occasion where my birth year was incorrect. 

I have previously submitted letters to the credit bureaus disputing various items that I believe are inconsistent, erroneous, and some of which have been on my credit reports for over seven years. Despite my efforts, including sending multiple letters outlining my concerns, I have not received any satisfactory resolution, nor have I been contacted by the credit bureaus to fully investigate these matters. 

The specific issues I am encountering include : 1. **Inaccurate Amounts** : The reported amounts for several accounts do not align with my records.

2. **Outdated Information** : Some items on my credit report are over seven years old and should have been removed per the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

3. **Lack of Investigation** : I was never contacted by the credit bureaus for further information, which I believe indicates a failure to conduct a thorough investigation as required by law. 

Given these ongoing issues, I am requesting that the CFPB take action to ensure that Experian, XXXX, and XXXX investigate my claims fully and delete any information that is inaccurate, outdated, or a violation of my rights under consumer protection laws. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I appreciate your support in ensuring that my consumer rights are upheld.

I have taken steps to address this issue by reporting the fraudulent inquiries appearing on my consumer report. Your actions have caused me significant mental and financial distress by placing an inquiry on my account that I neither authorized nor am responsible for. As a victim of identity theft, I expect this matter to be resolved promptly and properly. Failure to do so may lead me to pursue legal action. 

Due to these inaccurate and fraudulent items, I have been unable to purchase my dream car or adequately provide for my family. Please find attached a copy of a letter I previously sent regarding this matter.

Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. 
Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission identity theft affidavit. 
Please find it in your best interest to delete the items I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified. 
15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report.

15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any.

information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.

15 U.S. Code 1681 Section B ( i ) - Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material - If a consumer reporting agency removes information from someone's credit file based on the requirements in the preceding section ( A ), the agency can not readd or reinsert that previously deleted information back into the person 's file unless the entity that originally provided that information certifies that it is complete and accurate.

I have previously submitted numerous requests to your company to reassess the inquiry on my credit report, which I believe to be erroneous. Are you not obligated to conclude such investigations within 30 days of receiving them? I am aware of instances where companies have accessed individuals ' credit without a legitimate purpose, and I have yet to receive any verification of such reasons from your organization. I have made attempts to reach each of the companies listed, and the majority have no record of me whatsoever. How can they claim a legitimate business purpose to access my credit if they are unaware of my existence?

I have attempted to find contact details for all three credit reporting agencies to send in secure documentation proving my change of name. All three purposely ensure no email addresses or fax numbers are available on their websites. They each require that I send physical copies unencrypted through the post to get my name changed. Given the poor handling of customer data in recent leaks surely something can be done to bring these companies into the 21 century. I'm even happy to use a fax, if they so desperately need to relive the XXXX I was there, it wasn't great. 

Our lives depend on good credit scores tracked by agencies we did not opt in to using. The very least they could do is make managing our data possible. Phone calls to the agencies lead to a phone menu loop. Clicking on " contact us '' pages lead to a menu loop ( even the links that say click here for email ). Digital document uploads mysteriously fail every despite being well under the file size limit and being a supported ( allegedly ) filed type. Somebody needs to give these animals a swift kick in the taint to get them back on track. Any help this office can provide would be appreciated.

I hope you're doing well. I've run into a bit of a problem. While going through my credit report, I noticed some things that don't seem quite right, and it appears my identity have been stolen online. My nephew, who's studying XXXX XXXX, helped me out by finding a way to check if my XXXX emails were involved in this breach. To my surprise, it turns out that 2 out of 3 of my emails contain a lot of my sensitive and personal information. I want to emphasize that I'm not the one behind these accounts. It would mean a lot to me if you could assist in removing the following from my credit report. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about and take immediate actions.
