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

I sent a letter regarding the errors and unfamiliar entries on my credit report, but sadly, I haven't heard back in over 30 days. It seems like my concerns are being overlooked, and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these issues aren't investigated within 30 days, they should be removed from my credit report without delay. I might need to pursue legal action because of the stress this situation has put me under.

Issue: Getting a credit card — Card opened as result of identity theft or fraud
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (CA)

I've been a victim of multiple identity thefts, and have an existing credit freeze and fraud alert on my credit file for all three three bureaus. On XX/XX/23, I received an email from Amex at around XXXX that a new Credit Card was approved under my name. I could not have opened this account as I was asleep. I called Amex fraud department, verified my identity, and the first person I spoke to denied that a new card was opened under my name & no such email was sent. I suggested her to transfer me to identity theft department or applications department. She then corrected herself saying she found the email and transferred me to another department. I spoke with XXXX from applications departments and she asked me to verify my identity again and asked if I opened this card. I told her I would have not been calling if I opened the card. She asked which XXXX XXXX card seemed fraudulent and I answered that I do not have that information as the approval email sent to me just says XXXX XXXX. I asked her how new card was opened under my name if my credit is frozen and I have a fraud alert on my account. She then transferred me to Identity Theft department where I spoke with XXXX. XXXX asked me to verify my identity again, and verified that there were TWO cards under my name that were not authorized by me. I informed him that I have a credit freeze and a fraud alert on my credit, so this should not have been approved in the first place. He opened an investigation into the fraudulent card opened under my name.

'' Experian : Highest reported balance : {$0.00} Current balance owed : {$4100.00} Payment status : Closed, reported as " Charged off. '' It also states that the account was closed due to inactivity. 

XXXX : Highest reported balance : $ XXXX balance owed : $ XXXX status : Closed, reported as " Charged off, '' and notes the balance was " reported as a loss by the creditor.

According to Experian, the account was closed due to inactivity, while XXXX indicates it was reported as a loss by the creditor. Furthermore, XXXX provides different information about the high balance. This inconsistency violates the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ), which mandates that credit reporting agencies ensure maximum possible accuracy when reporting consumer information.

Additionally, under the Truth in Lending Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1601 ), I am entitled to clear and accurate information about my credit obligations and payment history, which is currently not being accurately reflected due to these discrepancies between the credit bureaus. 


I am requesting that, in compliance with the FCRA and TILA, you investigate this dispute and remove the inaccurate information, including the charge-off, from my credit report. The conflicting data between the bureaus demonstrates the inaccuracy of the information being reported. Please provide me with the results of your investigation and a corrected credit report as soon as possible. 

I have attached copies of my credit report highlighting the discrepancies and inaccurate information for your reference. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your quick response.

I am writing to you to request your assistance regarding an error on my credit report that has had a negative impact on my financial situation. 
Recently, I checked my credit report and found a late payment that I believe is incorrect. This error does not reflect my payment history or my commitment to meet my financial obligations.

Since an accurate credit report is essential to my future financial opportunities, I request that this matter be investigated in a timely manner. I would appreciate any guidance you can offer me on the steps to take to correct this error and, if possible, remove the incorrect information from my report.thanks
