Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (AL)

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of these items. Your failure to positively verify these accounts and inquiries has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

" 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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (IA)

Hello, I am writing to file a formal dispute against several creditors who have violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ). 

As per the details of my complaint, I have experienced severe financial hardships due to the unverified and inaccurate information that creditors have reported to consumer reporting agencies. The specific sections of the laws that may have been violated are as follows : Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 607 - Requirements for Consumer Reporting Agencies to Correct Inaccurate Information Section 610 - Conditions and Form of Disclosure to Consumers Section 611 - Procedure in Case of Disputed Accuracy Section 623 - Responsibilities of Furnishers of Information to Consumer Reporting Agencies Section 626 - Disclosures to FBI for Counterintelligence Purposes Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ) Section 612 - Disclosures to Consumers Section 613 - Timing of Dispute Investigations Section 614 - Consumer 's Right to Dispute Information Section 615 - Requirements for Reinvestigations Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ) Section 703 - Prohibition Against Discrimination Section 704 - Regulations to Carry Out the Purposes of this Subchapter Furthermore, the creditors have listed several inaccurate and unverified addresses on my credit report, which is a direct violation of FCRA Section 607. My correct name is XXXX XXXX but bureaus are reporting it as a XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX 
Also my current address is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Iowa XXXX, But bureau reported that I have many addresses like XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IA XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IA XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX NE XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, VA XXXX XXXX 

The creditors ' actions have severely impacted my life. I have been denied credit and loans due to the inaccurate information on my credit report, which has prevented me from purchasing a home or a vehicle. Additionally, it has caused me significant emotional distress, and I have been unable to sleep or concentrate on my work. 

Therefore, I am requesting that you enforce the legal provisions outlined above and ensure that the creditors remove all unverified accounts from my credit report. I would appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (GA)

My account with XXXX EXPERIAN XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history 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 EXPERIAN XXXX 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! 


Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Issue: Struggling to pay your loan — Lender trying to repossess or disable the vehicle
Company: CarMax, Inc. (AL)

Despite being told that I was a 30 % XXXX veteran and currently unemployed, Carmax XXXX repossessed my vehicle. This is in addition to the fact that they were notified that the XXXX of Alabama has an extreme backlog of unemployment cases which mine is a part of and has not been resolved as of this complaint despite being filed on XX/XX/2023. Instead of offering forbearance to this XXXX veteran, the only thing Carmax XXXX did was spam my phone with multiple calls per day and any time I did call with an update, their only response was to ask when they would expect a payment. 

Therefore, in addition to this complaint, the following actions are to occur until Carmax returns the vehicle to my possession : 1. No monetary considerations will be given to Carmax, at all, in the future. If Carmax decides to sell the vehicle, whatever cash they get will be all they get. If they return it, then we can work something out.

2. Complaints will be filed with the BBB for deceptive business practices, with the CFPB for deceptive financial practices, and the VA for deceiving a XXXX veteran with the recommendation that a national bulletin be sent out warning all veterans against doing business with Carmax. 

XXXX. Bad reviews for Carmax on all social media outlets. 

XXXX. Carmax is also banned from attempting any contact with me until the car is returned. 

Additional measures including contacting local and national press are still being considered and may be triggered depending on the outcome of XXXX - XXXX above.

Company: WESTERN UNION COMPANY, THE (KS)

My complaint is regarding your settlement with XXXX. We were issued a refund check on XX/XX/2016 but it was sent to a former address. We became aware of the check for {$410.00} but the check stated that it was only valid until XX/XX/XXXX. I called the number on the check and asked that the check be reissued. They stated that they gave me until XX/XX/XXXX to cash the check and since that date passed, I was no longer entitled to the money. I did n't see anything on that order that limited the date for payment. In fact, I think most states require such money to an Unclaimed property fund.
