Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (IL)

I am writing to formally dispute two hard inquiries listed on my credit report which I believe to be unauthorized and in violation of federal law. Please see my detailed information below : The hard inquiries unrecognizable are : XXXX. XXXX XXXX NA Date Reported : XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Date Reported : XX/XX/XXXX I do not recognize these hard pulls and they were not authorized by me. Therefore, they violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which governs permissible purposes for obtaining consumer reports. Additionally, please note the following sections of the FCRA which further support my dispute : 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) : Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) : If the completeness or accuracy of any item of information contained in a consumers file at a consumer reporting agency is disputed by the consumer and the consumer notifies the agency directly, or indirectly through a reseller, of such dispute, the agency shall, free of charge, conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate and record the current status of the disputed information, or delete the item from the file in accordance with paragraph ( 5 ), before the end of the 30-day period beginning on the date on which the agency receives the notice of the dispute from the consumer or reseller.

15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) : If, after any reinvestigation of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer.

As a consumer, my rights under the FCRA are clear, and unauthorized inquiries can result in inaccurate reporting and potential harm to my credit score. Given these inquiries were not made with my consent or for a permissible purpose, they must be removed from my credit report immediately.

Please investigate this matter promptly and correct the inaccuracies by removing these unauthorized inquiries. I would appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and expect a resolution within the 30-day investigation perdido as required by the FCRA.

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

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. 

XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 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!
