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. (TX)

My account with CREDIT XXXX BANK, SELFINC/LEAD was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with CREDIT XXXX BANK, SELFINC/LEAD and all payments were placed on Autopay. 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 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 that are reported 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. 


XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 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

I am writing to formally dispute an error on my Experian credit report related to my account with XXXX XXXX XXXX which is in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681, et seq. This error has incorrectly impacted my credit profile and caused undue harm, and I demand immediate rectification. 

Despite my consistent payment history and the fact that XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  accurately reflect my account status as " Paid as Agreed, '' Experian continues to report this account inaccurately. I have never missed a payment with XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  and this misinformation is not only erroneous but also a clear violation of my rights under federal law. Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are required to ensure maximum accuracy ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ), and Experian has failed to meet this standard. 

This inaccurate reporting has caused significant frustration and potential financial harm, impacting my credit score and reputation unfairly. I am requesting that Experian immediately update my credit report to reflect the correct account status of Paid as Agreed, Never Late ( PAANL ). XXXX continued reporting of this account inaccurately is not only in direct violation of the FCRA but also constitutes a breach of my rights under the U.S. Code. 

Furthermore, I request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) investigate this matter and hold Experian accountable for failing to uphold the FCRAs standards. This discrepancy on my report is unacceptable and must be corrected without delay to prevent further harm. If immediate action is not taken, I am prepared to escalate this matter further, as I have every intention of enforcing my rights under the law. 

Please confirm in writing that Experian has updated my report to reflect the accurate account status. I request a resolution of this matter within the 30-day period stipulated by the FCRA for consumer disputes.

" The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation. 

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent.

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file. ''

I recently conducted a review of my credit report and found several items that have caused me significant distress. These items appear to be unverifiable, inaccurate, and questionable. Your agency has failed to ensure the accuracy of the information as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of Reports. This statute mandates that consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information, you are required to promptly delete or modify any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable during a reinvestigation. If you are unable to provide me with verifiable proof of the accuracy of the disputed items within 15 days of your investigation, these accounts and the related information must be removed from my credit report. 

Additionally, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I do not recognize any of the alleged creditors or debt collectors. I have never entered into a valid contract with any of these entities, nor have I engaged in any transactions with them. As such, these accounts are fraudulent and may be the result of identity theft or other illegal activities. Attempting to enforce these fraudulent accounts is unlawful. I request that you expedite your investigation to prevent further harm, losses, or damages that I may suffer as a victim of identity theft.

Moreover, under the Fair Credit Billing Act, my right to privacy has been violated, and this breach infringes upon my rights as outlined in The Privacy Act of 1974. Removing the inaccurate and fraudulent information from my credit report will help restore my privacy and prevent further violations.
