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. (IL)

Assistance regarding inaccurate reporting on my credit report related to my account with XXXX. 

I have contacted both the credit bureaus and XXXX about this issue. The bureaus indicated that they conducted an investigation but ultimately verified the information as accurate. However, it is impossible for an account to be reported as both paid and derogatory at the same time. 

Given this conflicting reporting, I kindly request that you review my case and assist in the removal of this inaccurate information from my credit report. Maintaining an accurate credit profile is vital, especially for someone in my position, and I appreciate your attention to this matter.

" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information. 

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.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TN)

For the past XXXX years, I have reported to XXXX, Experian, and XXXX on multiple occasions that someone has stolen my identity. I have contacted creditors about this and have gone as far as getting a police report. I asked all three credit bureaus for proof of authorization on these accounts and inquiries yet, but they will not remove the accounts or inquiries. I have shown proof that Experian has reported that my information is on the dark web and being used, plus I have multiple letters from different agencies that my information has been leaked due to data breaches of their companies.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MD)

My account with 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 in 60 days 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.

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

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncomplia
nce under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

I was shocked to find inaccurate accounts on my credit report this morning. I can't understand how or why this happened. When I reviewed my report like I usually do, there were discrepancies that came out of nowhere. I even tried refreshing my browser, hoping it was a glitch, but nothing changed. The inaccuracies remained. Im now anxiously requesting that the documents I sent are carefully reviewed to prevent this from happening again.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (NY)

On XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, a {$2800.00} charge posted to my Citi XXXX XXXX credit card. 2 days later, I disputed this transaction. The merchant name in question is presented as " XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX '' and the transaction was a Card Not Present - Keyed In transaction that took place in Florida. 

After answering a few questions, the rep on the line informed me that this transaction has been resolved as Fraud and they'd be providing my account with a Credit. I checked in on XXXX XXXX, XXXX to inquire about the investigation, and wasn't provided with any updates. When I reviewed my statement the next week, I called to inform Citi that the charge has not yet been credited, and that my credit card bill was still showing the full balance due. The rep told me not to worry and to ignore the amount on the statement ( " we'll net out the credit and only withdraw that amount '' ). Fast forward to XX/XX/year>, I received a letter dated XX/XX/year> stating the investigation is now closed, and due to not providing enough information, the dispute was not resolved in my favor. Furthermore, I see that they withdrew that FULL amount from my checking account, which was set up for XXXX. 

When trying to get this matter resolved on XXXX XXXX XXXX  with Citi customer service, I was not left assured this " investigation '' was being handled properly. For one, no one reached out to me after the dispute, I was always calling ahead and making sure everything was fine. At every step, they assured me that everything was fine, when in reality, it ultimately resulted in a negative outcome. Secondly, I am under the impression that Citi is deliberately skirting Regulation E by marking the investigation as closed so that the dispute count-down will reset. In any case, I do not think Citi 's internal human + technological systems are adequate for this day and age. Their systems are adversarial to the consumer, and I recommend the CFPB investigating Citi 's adherence to regulations, especially Regulation E, as well as adherence to basic technological standards that protects consumers from Fraud investigations.
