Consumer complaint received 2024-10-19
Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (CA)

American Express has been at my throat to get this debt cleared up and due to the fact that cards are extremely hard to obtain because they have income requirements that prevent the average person to even get approved for this card. 

I make close to {$13000.00} a year due to my XXXX Insurance so I wouldnt qualify for a credit card on their terms AT ALL. 

Infact they mentioned that I was denied the first time that I Applied because a different social was used and somehow they approved it due to me newness into using credit. The deceptive tactics and lack of communication that I was approved was merely a fabrication. 

I did attempt to communicate with them however they are adamant about receiving their debt first and did threaten to take legal action via court of law. 

There are multiple violations therefore, all I demand for a resolution is this credit report to be taken of immediately and permanently, and that this debt no longer appears or reappears on all my credit reports.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Public record information inaccurate
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MD)

I contacted the CRAs in XXXX regarding a dismissed bankruptcy on my credit report. They responded that they verified this information with US BKPT CT PA  XXXX and/or USBK COURT WESTERN PENNS . I found this is who they were verifying the information with because at the bottom of my credit report it lists all of the CREDITORS that they get/verify their information with. I contacted US BK CT of Western Pennsylvania via certified mail ( XXXX  ) and received a letter from them stating that they do NOT provide information to the CRAs they also stated that they do NOT have a relationship with the CRAs. So to my confusion how are they listing this entity as the CREDITOR? If one they do not report this information, two they are not creditors ( A creditor is a party that extends credit or lends goods, property, services, or money to another party known as a debtor. The credit made through a legal contract guarantees repayment within a specified period as mutually agreed upon by both parties. The amount lent to the borrower may be subject to an interest rate, depending on its size and the lender. A creditor takes various measures to secure the loan amount if the debtor turns defaulter, like requiring collateral and placing liens on it. Creditors can be classified as secured or unsecured. ) Bankruptcy Courts are not creditors they do not loan money to anyone they do not extend credit or lend goods, property, services, money to any consumers, but yet that is who the CRAs are stating " VERIFIED '' the information on my CREDIT REPORT??

This issue ONLY exists on my Experian report for whatever reason and none of the other agencies. I have repeatedly tried to rectify this matter in the past to no avail. My last name is XXXX and often times I get called or am corrected of my own name by many as XXXX which is NOT my name. I have no clue what this debt is for and Experian refuses to remove it from my report. I am a XXXX minority and am trying my best to establish credit and they are preventing me from doing so by putting a false negative mark on my report. I ask that you please help me rectify this matter in hopes of myself trying to correct my report as to what it should accurately show as no bad marks should exist. On another agency 's report it even has me currently working at XXXX 's and I have never worked at XXXX 's. It's been difficult enough as it is with my XXXX but with these inaccuracies on my reports it has made life extremely difficult and would hope to see this matter resolved asap. I appreciate your time and look forward to your reply.

I am writing to bring to your attention an issue I have encountered with my credit report. Recently, I discovered that there was a fraudulent account on my credit report that was affecting my credit score. I followed the proper procedures and reported the fraud to you, and you removed the account from my credit report. 

However, I recently checked my credit report again and was shocked to see that the fraudulent account had been added back onto my credit report. This has caused me significant distress for me, and I am writing to request that you remove the account from my credit report once again. 

Additionally, under section 1681i of the FCRA, consumers have the right to dispute any information they believe is inaccurate or incomplete in their credit report. If the credit reporting agency can not verify the accuracy of the information in dispute, it must be deleted or corrected. This may include delinquent accounts that are no longer accurate or valid. 

It's important to note that credit reporting agencies are required to follow specific procedures and timelines when investigating disputes and updating credit reports. If you believe that a credit reporting agency has not followed the proper procedures in handling your dispute, you may have legal options to pursue.
