Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CO)

I sent a letter to Exprian on XX/XX/2024, regarding a collection account that is on my credit report. I sent a letter to the Collection company and it was returned for insufficient address. On the letter I sent to all three credit reporting agencies. I informed them, the responsibility of the data furnisher is outlined in the FCRA, section 623. In part, it states : '' The FCRA prohibits furnishers from providing information to a consumer reporting agency ( " CRA '' ) that they know ( or consciously avoid knowing ) is inaccurate. I requested they remove this account due to the FCRA violation. They responded with INVESTIGATION RESULTS : VERIFIED AS ACCURATE ''. Which means they obviously did not do an investigation because I still have not been provided with an accurate address, This is over well over 60 days ago and this account needs to be removed off my credit report. 

The company is also in violation of Sections 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and ( a ) ( 1 ( C ) ALSO - they violated FDCPA - because at no point have they Spoken to me in person Spoken to me by telephone They did not mail me a collection letter giving me time to dispute the account and they never sent any electronic communication to me. Ive included a copy of the account on my credit report Ive also attached the returned envelope that proves they provided the credit bureaus with the incorrect address.

I have reached out to all three credit bureaus on many occasions to express the fraud alert. I have on my account as well as two request that the unauthorized unknown inquiries be removed while I am still dealing with this issue credit is also being processed with my information with the disregard to my fraud alerts that are on each of my credit bureau profiles. XXXX XXXX has giving me the hardest time Ive reached out to them only to be told they dont remove inquiries. It doesnt matter that they are unauthorized or authorized. They do not remove inquiries is what several out there Representatives told me from XXXX. Experian has been kind enough to understand and begin to remove inquiries that I did not authorize, XXXX I believe has removed most all of the inquiries however, there are still the several variations of my name, and which I only use my name one way my Social Security number has been listed as an account number that I dont know or recognize and they continue to allow credit checks or inquiries with my fraud alert on my account

My account with XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION 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 to be updated.

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 TRANSUNION 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 the presence of unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and inquiries on my credit report, which I received on [ Date of Credit Report ]. After a careful review, I have identified multiple accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate, authorize, or recognize. These entries appear to have been added to my credit report in error or as a result of fraudulent activity.The inclusion of these erroneous items has unfairly impacted my credit score and overall financial standing. This matter is causing significant concern, as my credit history is being unjustly damaged by information that is neither accurate nor reflective of my true financial activities.
