Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

Greetings, I recently reviewed my credit report on XX/XX/2023 and it shows that Experian is continuing to report XXXX XXXX. My student loans are no longer with XXXX XXXX because they have been transferred over to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have the same debt reporting twice from two different companies. I owe {$56000.00} dollars but Experian is continuing to report {$100000.00} dollars. I called XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX and they no longer have me in their system. I am writing to request the deletion of accounts of XXXX XXXX on my credit report. 


I kindly request that you investigate the inclusion of theses loans on my credit report and take appropriate action to remove them if they indeed meet the criteria for deletion under 15 USC 1681b ( a ) ( c ). I understand that the law allows for the removal of obsolete and outdated information, and I believe that these loans fall within those parameters.

I have provided relevant supporting documentation that demonstrates the eligibility of these loans for removal to Experian.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and the successful resolution of this request.

XXXX XXXX XXXX is a collection agency that works for XXXX XXXX. I agreed to a payment plan with the XXXX XXXX XXXX collection agency to prevent any negative remarks from being reported to Credit Bureaus. The XXXX XXXX  XXXX collection agency received my payment and then reneged on our agreement. I spoke to several rude and incompetent supervisors that work for this collection agency. XXXX XXXX was the main supervisor that was extremely unprofessional and rude. XXXX XXXX is the supervisor that reported the negative remarks on my credit report. I contacted XXXX XXXX directly and resolved this matter by paying the {$670.00} in full. The XXXXXXXX XXXX  business office assured me that everything would be taking care of and the negative remark on my credit would be removed from my credit report. I received an email from the XXXX XXXX business office stating that the XXXX XXXX   XXXX collection agency informed them that the removing of the negative items on my credit report would take 2-3 months to remove. Unacceptable!!!

I am seeking to file a complaint and to hopefully get some sort of resolution to a problem that I have been dealing with  for 7 seven ye ars. Back during the height of the financial crisis I ended up short selling my primary residence and  XXXX  investment properties. At that time the loan on my home was held by  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  . When we closed, I was under the impression that the loan was to be cancelled since it was my primary residence, but this was not the case. Since that time, I had been making payments continually on this loan which was then transferred to  Greentree Servicing w hich took over when  XXXX  went out of business. I continually requested some type of settlement with  Greentree but the y were requesting a large amount of money to settle this debt that I did not have. Now  Greentree  has gone out of business and I am being garnished for the balance with  25  % of my paychec k ( {$1600.00} )  per month going towards the balance of loan for a home that I have not owned  in 7 years. T his outstanding balance on this loan has also prevented me from purchasing another property. I am just looking to find some assistance so that I can begin to move forward as well as rebuild. Everyone understands the climate and the devastating effects that the financial crisis had on our economy and everyday individuals, and while many people have been able to move on. Yet, somehow I am still here dealing with the same issues and have found the lender to be very uncooperative in helping to find a resolution. I would try appreciate any assistance that you could provide in helping me to bring this issue to some sort of resolution.

XXXX ,  XXXX   XXXX , &  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX , all nasty companies were warned and advised to cease and desist all collection efforts pertaining to this account that they have begin reporting on my credit file. I am a victim of identity theft, my mother  XXXX   XXXX  and a number of other individuals whom she and my step father sold my personal information to opened this account in my name. This company has no signatures from myself signing this lease, and also has been told even if the docuets were true, the amount according to what they stated were incorrect, and the company or creditor that this company is collecting for committed identity theft on numerous occasions, even after I notified them that I was a victim of identity theft. This company tried to create a false billing statement in my name and attempted to file it in court. Attached is my Federal Affidavit of identity theft and this company is named as well. I requested this company discontinue trying to collect on this debt as it is a result of identity theft. They have none of my signatures verifying or validating a legal contract, and the amount is also extremely questionable. I was even told to sue when this company refused to stop trying to commit identity theft in my name. I have taken this information to the police and also the FBI at which time the company ceased for a while and nothing was heard from them. They then reappeared by placing the account in a collection agency at which time, I notifyed that company of the identity theft and that my mother committed it against me. I sent them the same federal affidavits that you have on file, and they sent a generic lease agreement with electronic signatures as opposed to my actual signature. So they conducted the identity theft via computer. My mother should have never placed my name on this lease. It is  XXXX   XXXX  's debt and not mine.

I have disputed several items on my credit report. I sent an initial correspondence disputing several items. I received a response from the credit bureau stating that they verified some of the items I had disputed. I replied with another correspondence requesting the specific method of verification. The credit bureau  ( EXPERIAN ) re plied to my correspondence stating that my letter was not legible. I 'm not sure how that could be when the letter was typewritten just like my previous correspondences. I would like to know what certified documents were reviewed to conclude your investigation? Please provide a complete copy of all of the information that was transmitted to the data furnisher as a part of the investigation as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act : Who did you speak with? What was the date? How long was the conversation? What was their position? What number did you call? What is the name of your employee that spoke with the creditor? What is the position of your employee that spoke with the creditor?   My name and reputation are at stake and this reporting has caused great financial distress. I need the bureau to provide the above information, so I can conduct my own   investigation and verification process with the alleged creditors.

" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 
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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NY)

My accounts 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/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!
