Subject : Complaint Against Experian for Violation of Fair Credit Reporting Act Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian for its refusal to remove a charge off account from my credit report in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 611 ). 

Account Information : Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Account Number : XXXX Date of Charge Off : XX/XX/year> Amount : {$3600.00} I have previously disputed the accuracy of this charge off account with Experian and provided evidence that the information is inaccurate. However, Experian has failed to conduct a proper investigation and continues to report the inaccurate information on my credit report. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I have the right to request the removal of inaccurate or outdated information from my credit report. Experian 's refusal to comply with this law is a clear violation of my consumer rights. 

I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action against Experian for its non-compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I am seeking the immediate removal of the inaccurate charge off account from my credit report. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt resolution and your assistance in ensuring that Experian upholds its obligations under the law. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

I previously sent a letter asking for the documentation you used to verify these late payments, such as a transactional history, since what's reporting is not in line with any of my records and I know for certain that what's reporting is incorrect and inaccurate. Late payments affect my scores by a great deal, for sure you know that. How would you feel if the late payments reporting are not true but it keeps on weighing down your scores. SEE ATTACHED.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

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 Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach.

I am filing this complaint because Experian has failed to conduct a reasonable investigation into disputed information on my credit report, violating my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
On XX/XX/year>, I mailed a dispute letter to Experian regarding inaccurate items on my credit report. In my letter, I specifically requested detailed information on how Experian verified the disputed account, including : The date they contacted the creditor Contact information for the creditor Name of the person who verified the item Method of communication used to verify the information Whether the creditor provided my Social Security number, address, and date of birth for verification I included a copy of my proof of identification, my Social Security card, and a recent utility bill to verify my identity. However, on XX/XX/year>, I received a response from Experian via email stating that they would not process my request because it " didn't appear that you or a properly authorized third party sent it to us. '' This claim is incorrect, as I personally submitted the dispute with all necessary documents to confirm my identity. 
Under the FCRA, credit bureaus must conduct a reasonable reinvestigation if a consumer disputes the accuracy or completeness of any information in their credit file. Despite providing the required documentation, Experian refused to investigate my dispute, which constitutes a violation of my rights under the FCRA. 
The account I am disputing is my student loan account, DPT EDXXXX - XXXX. The credit report reflects late payments, which are incorrect because my loan was under forbearance during the period in question. As proof, I am including documentation showing that the account was in forbearance and should not have reported late payments on those dates. Experians refusal to investigate this matter and correct the inaccuracies is causing significant damage to my credit. 
I am including copies of the following documents : My original dispute letter sent to Experian. 
Experians response letter via email dated XX/XX/year>. 
Proof of forbearance for my student loan account ( DPT EDXXXX - XXXX ) for the dates in question

I am having an ongoing issue with XXXX XXXX  for several months. It started with a refund that I never received. They do not email you directly, its all through an online system, unless they send you a bill due date or send you a letter saying your payment was processed. I have called at least 20 different times and emailed this company over 30 times, as well as sending them a letter to their po box , which I did not get a response from for 3 months. 
We are still in dispute. They refunded all the late fees being I was not late but will not fix my credit report saying I was late for the month of XXXX and XXXX. 
I have several letters for this company saying 'I will not be charged late fees or shown as delinquent or late to the credit agencies for those months. 
I have reported them several times through Experian and XXXX, uploaded all of the proof of these letters and Nothing is done. 
I have seen over 50 people having the same type of problems with XXXX XXXX  and they are getting away with it. 
What are the credit agencies for? What is the point of sending " proof '' to them if Nothing is done to help the people?? 

Please help me!

I want to dispute these accounts because it was affecting my credit report, it was caused by Identity Theft. I did not make these charges. I am having problems with this unfair treatment. These accounts were taken care of with the original creditor and promised me to update it out of my report. Therefore, these accounts shouldn't be in my report. This is an error that you need to look into, so please do your investigation on this and remove or delete this account from my credit report.

On XX/XX/year> a credit card was attempted without my consent from Sams Club ( SYNCB/SAMS ). I immediately contacted the Sam 's club, 2 days later I finally got a ahold of them but they never responded back. I then left them another message with no response. So I then tried contacting the credit card company itself. They took my info and said they'd be in touch. Nothing for a week. I called back and was told there was no record of me calling. The guy was a little more helpful and started an " investigation ''. I was then told I would receive a letter in the mail in one week. Nothing. I call back a 3rd time, I'm again then told they have no record of me calling! This time the lady takes my info again, gives me the exact same speech and says I'll receive a letter in the mail... now I'm here. I have gotten no word, no letters, nothing in almost a year and I still have the hard inquiry on my report. Synchrony Bank Sams, very unprofessional..
