Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (OH)

I recently conducted a review of my credit report and found several items that have caused me significant distress. These items appear to be unverifiable, inaccurate, and questionable. Your agency has failed to ensure the accuracy of the information as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of Reports. This statute mandates that consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information, you are required to promptly delete or modify any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable during a reinvestigation. If you are unable to provide me with verifiable proof of the accuracy of the disputed items within 15 days of your investigation, these accounts and the related information must be removed from my credit report.

Additionally, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I do not recognize any of the alleged creditors or debt collectors. I have never entered into a valid contract with any of these entities, nor have I engaged in any transactions with them. As such, these accounts are fraudulent and may be the result of identity theft or other illegal activities. Attempting to enforce these fraudulent accounts is unlawful. I request that you expedite your investigation to prevent further harm, losses, or damages that I may suffer as a victim of identity theft.

Moreover, under the Fair Credit Billing Act, my right to privacy has been violated, and this breach infringes upon my rights as outlined in The Privacy Act of 1974. Removing the inaccurate and fraudulent information from my credit report will help restore my privacy and prevent further violations.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (WY)

I would like to follow up behind my frustration regarding the repeated attempts I have made to rectify the ongoing issue of late open accounts associated with my account. Despite my multiple efforts to resolve this matter, the problem remains unresolved, causing significant inconvenience and distress. I first noticed the late open accounts issue and since then, I have diligently contacted your company 's customer service department to bring this matter to your attention. During these interactions, I have provided all the necessary documentation and information requested, yet the issue persists, and no concrete action has been taken to correct it. 
The late open accounts issue has had a negative impact on my financial stability and credit score. I have faced undue stress and financial setbacks as a result of this unresolved problem, which should have been addressed promptly and efficiently. I am asking for your immediate assistance that these accounts should be correct right away : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance Owed : {$540.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Owed : {$14000.00}.

Additionally, I urge you to prioritize staff training and awareness programs to ensure that all team members are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to detect and respond effectively to fraudulent activities.

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

My account with EXPERIAN 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 in ( MONTHS REPORTING LATE ) 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

Company: LD Holdings Group, LLC (SC)

I was inquiring about a possible Home Equity Loan from Loan Depot and others. I have not asked for nor did I apply for any such loan. I only did the soft look up to see what was available and nothing more. I received some emails and text from Loan Depot, from an XXXX XXXX, which I told him I was only looking to see and the rates are too high so I won't go any further. I now received a letter, ( Loan # XXXX ), ( XX/XX/2024 ), from Loan Depot stating a Credit Denial, and an Adverse Action Notification. I don't know what Loan Depot is up to but this is outrageous that they did something like this and they assigned a loan number to a loan I never applied or asked for. Like, I said I never applied for any mortgage or Home Equity Loan so I was very surprised and upset when I received this letter. 
I want to make sure that Loan Depot is not running any scams or illegally running my information for a Loan I never applied for.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (KS)

There is a tax lien from the state of kansas on my transunion credit report. I have made attempts to contact transunion about the inaccurate information they have place on my credit report. There are numerous inaccuracies with the information they are reporting, the amount of the lien is incorrect, the dates of the filing is also not accurate. Even with these incorrect entries, they also refuse to report the lien as being paid, which as you are aware is devastating to my credit rating. The sheer fact that the state of kansas would let me go years without paying a tax lien is unheard off, they would have levied everything i have, garnished every paycheck and taken everything from personal banks to satisfy their lien. The simplest truth is that with this inaccurate reporting of what transunion has reported as facts has cost me dearly in terms of obtaining favorable credit in terms of home and auto loans, and on numerous occasions kept me from obtaining new credit with banks whether for personal or business. My resolution to this is for this inaccurate entry on personal credit report be deleted.

XXXX XXXX XXXX amount of {$940.00} XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Collection amount of {$1000.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Balance of {$550.00} In accordance with my rights under federal law, I request the immediate removal of these accounts based on the provisions outlined in the following statutes : 15 U.S. Code 1692c This section addresses communication in connection with debt collection, particularly prohibiting communications regarding debts that have not been legitimately incurred by the consumer. 
15 U.S. Code 1602 ( p ) This section defines the terms related to consumer protection, specifying unauthorized transactions. 
15 U.S. Code 1601 This provides the basis for consumer credit protection and outlines the need for fair and accurate credit reporting. These laws exist to protect individuals like myself from fraudulent financial activity and to prevent the continued damage caused by unauthorized accounts. 
As I am a victim of identity theft, these accounts have been opened fraudulently, and I bear no responsibility for the debts or actions related to these accounts. I have already taken steps to report this identity theft to the appropriate authorities and agencies, including filing a police report and notifying the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ). Copies of these documents can be provided if necessary. 

I kindly request that the CFPB facilitate the removal of these accounts from my credit report and ensure that these creditors and collection agencies cease all attempts to collect on these fraudulent debts. This situation has caused significant financial and emotional distress, and I hope for a swift resolution to restore my credit and peace of mind.
