This is my final attempt to resolve before I pursue arbitration against Experian.

To date this same info still reflects on my report. Experian responded to the complaint stating they verified the information was correct, but with who. I demand to know the names/titles of EVERYONE that allegedy verified these accounts ; the dates in which they were contacted ; and copies of the documentation provided to prove such claims on these charged off accounts and accounts with late payments.

My repeated efforts to rectify the fraudulent, inaccurate, and misleading entries on my consumer report have been ineffective.

Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: Avant Holding Company, Inc. (VA)

I paid a charged off account that I had with AvantCard in the amount of {$740.00}. The first payment was made XX/XX/2023 in the amount of {$50.00} and the second was made on XX/XX/2023 in the amount of {$690.00}. 

Towards the end of XXXX I received a notice that a new collections account was reported on my credit reports from XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX shows that I owe {$740.00}, since apparently they purchased the account from Avant. This is not accurate as I paid Avant in XXXX. 

Avant sent me an email after an inquiry from me telling me that they would forward the payment in XXXX. I contacted them today, XX/XX/XXXX, and now Avant is telling me that the payments are pending ( which is not true as I have proof that they posted from my bank accounts ). Makes no sense to be pending since they were made over a month ago. They say somehow XXXX XXXX should have access to that ( which makes no sense since I paid it on Avant 's website ). XXXX XXXX says they should have received the payments since they were paid so long ago. 

I don't know who is in the right and in the wrong but I know that my account has been paid and it's now being reported incorrectly on my credit report as a new XXXX XXXX collections account with a balance even though it was paid before XXXX ever showed up on my credit report. This is not accurate and needs to be resolved by both companies.

Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score — Other problem getting your report or credit score
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CO)

I have an account with Experian ( and all the credit reporting agencies ) and have had a freeze on my credit for some time. I am a XXXX XXXX XXXX  and trying to open up a different credit card for my business, but since I have a freeze, I was denied. 
I tried to get ahold of Experian to unfreeze my credit by going through their online account- I was able to reset my password, but unable to get into the account b/c they only allow two options for second verification- but both options go to an OLD phone number that I can't update! You can't even get to the 'account ' page to update your profile/old phone number b/c it keeps asking to text/call you at your old phone number ( only XXXX option ). 
I tried calling them ( on every conceivable XXXX # I could find online ), but ALL of them go to an automated agent that sends you into a endless, unhelpful loop and never getting you to an actual person. The loop is b/c they are asking you to verify your identy based on old or not up to date information ( e.g., they ask for my SSN - fine - but then ask for my zip code and street address - and this is being bounced off some old information, so they say, XXXX, let 's try that again ' - I don't know where I lived 10 years ago when I made this account! ). Please help- this is ridiculous.

I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. 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 the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Upon investigating the accounts, I investigated directly from the source furnishing the data to you to ensure that everything matches up as well. Upon looking at the history between all 3 credit bureaus, I wanted to point out the inconsistencies in the reporting in the following accounts : Account Name : XXXX Actions : Please remove the late payment from this account and update the account as paid as agreed. 
I understand the process of the investigation is to reach every individual company to verify the accuracy of the information. In accordance with FCRA, Section 611 A through D, you are supposed to let me know who you verified with. In my original investigation request sent I asked you to delete anything that is not 100 percent accurate.

This is not the time to update since you had time to update after the first letter. Now that I have pointed out the mistakes, updating the other accounts is an admission of guilt and a direct violation of my rights to a fair investigation. You stated it was verified. How is it possible that XXXX, XXXX, and Experian all verified the accounts above as accurate, but they all have inconsistencies in the reporting? In fact, there is no possible way a full investigation could have been done in accordance with Section 611 due to the inconsistencies coming after my original request for investigation. 
At this point, I demand you delete these accounts immediately, or I have no choice but to seek counsel to point out the rights that have been violated under the FCRA. Please forward me an updated credit report after you have completed your deletions and corrections.

My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX  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 in those account 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. 


XXXX XXXX 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! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
