On XXXX I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per XXXX and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

I am submitting this complaint against Experian for their failure to investigate and provide updates or results regarding a disputed collection account on my credit report. 

On XX/XX/year>, I sent a dispute letter to each of the credit bureau Experian, requesting an investigation and validation of an unverified collection account. The details of the disputed account are as follows : XXXX XXXX : XXXX Account Number : XXXX Amount : {$1000.00} In my dispute letters, I requested the following information under Section 609 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : The original signed contract or agreement that created the debt. 
The name and address of the original creditor. 
Documentation showing that the collection agency has the legal right to collect on this alleged debt. 
A full account history, including any payments made on the alleged debt. 
Despite providing all necessary documentation, including a copy of my credit report highlighting the disputed item, proof of identity, and proof of address, I have not received any response from Experian. 

Under Section 611 of the FCRA, the credit bureaus are required to investigate consumer disputes and provide the results within 30 days. It has been over 60 days since my initial dispute, and I have not received any updates or results from any of the credit bureaus.

Recently I've sent a dispute letter to Experian regarding inaccurate information and accounts thats reporting to my consumer report. They are reporting that I live at multiple addresses when in reality I only have one address which is on my ID. They responded that the accounts were verified but never provided me any documentation that verifies them. The proper documentation should include signed agreements, contracts, receipts, etc. I received a copy of my consumer report and I've noticed several accounts that's reporting to my report that's unauthorized and under multiple violations. There are collections accounts reporting to my consumer report but I never gave them permission to report anything without my consent which violates my privacy rights pursuant 15 U.S. Code 6801 - Protection of nonpublic personal information. How do I owe a debt if there was never an agreement between me and the creditor reporting the account? There was never an agreement in order for a debt to occur. Pursuant 15 U.S. Code 1681i - Procedure in case of disputed accuracy, this account must be removed in which they cant be verified nor does they belong to me. How can these accounts report if by law they're not verified nor have documents with agreements? Violations committed by Experian. 15 U.S. Code 1681b - Permissible purposes of consumer reports, 15 U.S. Code 1681 - Congressional findings and statement of purpose, 15 U.S. Code 1681e - Compliance procedures, 15 U.S. Code 6802 - Obligations with respect to disclosures of personal information, 15 U.S. Code 1692c - Communication in connection with debt collection, 15 U.S. Code 1681i - Procedure in case of disputed accuracy

The credit reporting agency Experian is in violation of 15 USC 1681 sec 604a section 2, because it states that a Consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account w/o my written instruction.

My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with capital 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. 

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/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.

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!
