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. (NY)

Experian has refused to acknowledge my dispute letter dated XX/XX/2024, which is a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). According to 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit reporting agencies such as Experian are legally obligated to conduct a reasonable investigation upon receiving a dispute from a consumer. Failure to acknowledge receipt of my dispute letter not only disregards my rights as a consumer but also undermines the FCRA 's provisions intended to ensure accurate and fair credit reporting. This disregard for protocol is concerning and necessitates prompt resolution to rectify the inaccuracies on my credit report.

My account with EXPERIAN was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX 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 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 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!

I wish to express my deep disappointment regarding the reporting provided by your organization, as documented in the enclosed document. It is regrettable to note that the aforementioned reporting falls significantly short of being comprehensive and fails to meet the standards I deem essential. As mandated by the law, it is crucial for both your esteemed entity and the data furnishers involved to undertake the certification of all facets pertaining to the obligatory Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Metro 2 compliance. This certification must be executed with utmost integrity, accuracy, thoroughness, and timeliness, so as to avoid any inadvertent violation or infringement upon my consumer and civil rights

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX MN XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2024 Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Subject : Pre-Arbitration Notice Regarding Incorrect Reporting of Late Payments Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to formally dispute the inaccurate reporting of late payments on my credit report under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically under sections 15 U.S.C. 1681 and 15 U.S.C. 1666b. 

I have recently reviewed my credit report and noticed that several accounts are reflecting late payments that I believe are inaccurate. As you are well aware, the FCRA mandates that all information on a credit report must be both fair and accurate. Incorrect reporting of late payments can have severe and long-lasting impacts on my credit score, potentially affecting my ability to secure loans, credit, housing, and even employment. 

It is crucial to me that my credit report accurately reflects my payment history. I am requesting an immediate investigation and correction of these inaccuracies. Enclosed are copies of supporting documents that substantiate my claim that these late payments were either inaccurately reported or never occurred. 

If this matter is not resolved promptly, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action to protect my rights under the FCRA. This could include filing a lawsuit to seek damages, legal costs, and attorney fees as permitted under the law. 

To provide clarity on the potential legal costs, here is a breakdown : Attorney Fees : Depending on the complexity of the case, attorney fees could range from {$200.00} to {$500.00} per hour. In a straightforward case, this could amount to {$2000.00} to {$10000.00}. 
Court Filing Fees : Filing a lawsuit typically incurs a fee ranging from {$100.00} to {$500.00}, depending on the jurisdiction. 
Other Legal Costs : Additional costs such as deposition fees, expert witness fees, and other litigation expenses could add another {$1000.00} to {$5000.00} to the total cost. 
I hope we can avoid these unnecessary costs by resolving this matter promptly. Please confirm the receipt of this letter and initiate the investigation into my dispute. I expect a timely response as outlined in the FCRA, and I look forward to a fair resolution. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this important matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
