Account Name : XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX I am filing this complaint against Experian for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Specifically, I am seeking {$1000.00} in damages for their failure to comply with the requirements of the FCRA regarding the reporting of the XXXX, XXXX & XXXX account referenced above. 

Details of the Complaint : In XXXX, I disputed the accuracy of the XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX account on my credit report with Experian. 

Following my dispute, Experian deleted this account from my credit report. 

The deletion of this account is an admission of guilt by Experian, acknowledging that the information reported was inaccurate or unverifiable. 

Under the FCRA, consumers have the right to accurate and verifiable information on their credit reports. Experians failure to ensure the accuracy and verifiability of this account before reporting it constitutes a violation of the FCRA. 
Due to this violation, I am entitled to compensation of {$1000.00} for the damages caused by Experian 's negligence. 


Impact of the Violation : The presence of the inaccurate information on my credit report caused significant harm, including damage to my credit score and creditworthiness, resulting in denials for credit applications. 

This has caused financial distress and inconvenience, which could have been avoided if Experian had adhered to their obligations under the FCRA.

As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681n, Experian is obligated to ensure that the information being reported on my credit file is accurate and in compliance with the law.

Therefore, Experian must also remove this account to maintain consistency and compliance. This account has been removed from my credit reports with XXXX and XXXX, and I am requesting that Experian take immediate action to remove this account from my report to remain in compliance with federal law.

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.

I was absolutely shocked to see inaccurate accounts on my credit report this morning, and I have no idea how they got there. I checked my credit report, as I normally do, and was blindsided by these discrepancies. I even refreshed my browser, thinking it might just be a glitch, but the inaccurate accounts were still there. I'm extremely concerned and request that the documents I've sent be thoroughly checked so that I can avoid this kind of stress in the future.

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ).

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!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
