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 a victim of credit card fraud. My XXXX XXXX card was compromised beginning in XXXX of 2023. After many conversations with XXXX fraud department I was assured that my complaint was being investigated and would receive documentation confirming so. In the meantime I continued receiving alerts of charges that were not made by myself and were not authorized by me. After repeatedly notifying XXXX there action was to close the account and reissue a new card, and send that new card to an address that I was not associated with. Fraudulent charges continued to be made on my behalf, using my identity. Now after many, many months and many misunderstandings ( constantly speaking with XXXX representatives who lacked comprehension of my statements/complaints ), the case itself has been resolved in my favor. The problem is I have not received documentation stating this! And I have since found out that XXXX was continuing to send correspondence to the fraudulent perpetrators address. 
In addition to the theft of my identity ( SS # ), my credit rating still suffers because XXXX is not properly notifying the Credit Agencies of the resolution, etc.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NY)

On XX/XX/ I submitted an account dispute to Experian Credit Reporting Agency through the CFPB portal. The Consumer Credit protection Act, Title VI Consumer Credit Reporting, Section 611 Procedure in case of disputed accuracy ( 84 Stat. 1132 ; 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), clearly states that a consumer reporting agency has no longer than 30 days to complete its reinvestigation. The 60 day timeframe allowed by the CFPB does not apply to credit reporting agencies because by federal law a credit reporting agency has a time limit of 30 days. Before the end of the 30 days Experian Credit Reporting Agency must update the information as instructed by the consumer or delete any unverified, inaccurate, and incomplete information. This dispute was not settled in the allotted timeframe and must be updated as instructed by me in the dispute notice or deleted. Experian responded to my dispute onXX/XX/XXXX which is 60 days, 30 days longer than lawfully allowed. This is a violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681i. 

When I did finally receive a response on XX/XX/ it noted that the disputed information appearing on my Experian report is accurate and has been verified. In the dispute I requested to receive a copy of the description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information. As of today XX/XX/ I have not received a description of the reinvestigation procedure. Not delivering a copy of the description I requested is a violation of 15 U.S.C 1681i ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ).

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

Experian I received an email from Experian on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  indicated that my credit rating had gone down. This was a surprise as I have not had any financial changes - no new debts, no new accounts, no new inquiries, no late payments, no negative elements ... My two existing old credit card accounts are always paid off in full before their due date. My mortgage is always paid on time and that balance decreases each month. There is nothing derogatory on my file- I have never had a late payment. Furthermore, my Experian account has had a " freeze '' since XXXX, proving that there has been no new activity. Yet Experian lowered my credit rating score by more than XXXX points with no explanation. 

There is nothing on the Experian website or credit report to explain or justify this change. While I might accept a change of a few points due to their algorithm, a change of more than XXXX points is excessive and has drop my rating out of the " exception '' category. 

Ironically, at this same time, XXXX raised my credit rating score. 

Additionally, I had to hunt through the Experian website to verify that the freeze on my account was still active. This element is hidden ; instead the consumer is immediately presented with advertisements selling " credit monitoring/protection features ''. 

Consumers have the right to understand their credit rating and a generic list of " possible reasons '' why one 's credit rating changed is inadequate and unacceptable. 

Experian is not the only agencies do this... I have filed complaints in the past with the CFPB regarding XXXX doing the same thing - large fluctuations of credit score with no explanation or apparent justification. I am fully aware that the CFPB does nothing but forward my complaint to the credit reporting agency who then provides a generic response which does not answer the question of why my credit report dropped more than XXXX points with no changes on the report.

The late payment remarks and account status currently reflected on my credit report are incorrect and do not accurately represent the true history of this account. The account in question has been closed, and the reported late payments do not align with my actual payment history. These inaccuracies are negatively impacting my credit score and misrepresenting my financial behavior. I request a thorough review of the account details and the immediate removal of the incorrect late payment remarks and status from my credit report. Ensuring the accuracy of this information is critical to maintaining the integrity of my credit profile, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Please update my report to accurately reflect that the account was closed and remove the erroneous late payment information.
