Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Old information reappears or never goes away
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (ME)

I had XXXX XXXX  added to Experian to boost my credit for on time payments, of which I was only awarded XXXX point for setting it up. After a couple years, I no longer wanted XXXX XXXX  so I stopped paying for it. It was recently removed from my experian boost, so experian took XXXX points off my credit report. This feels very unfair and not an appropriate measure of whether someone has good credit. Just XXXX points can affect what bracket youre in and whether you qualify for certain types of lending- all because I stopped watching XXXX XXXX Its fair to punish me for that?

I am rejecting this response because : The Credit Bureau recent response to my complaint regarding inaccuracies on my credit report. Despite my numerous attempts to dispute these erroneous accounts and rectify the situation, XXXX has failed to adequately address and resolve the issues at hand. Over the past several months, I have repeatedly contacted The Credit Bureau, providing detailed information and supporting documentation to demonstrate the inaccuracies present in my credit report. Unfortunately, each attempt has been met with insufficient action and a lack of proper investigation into the matters I raised. This ongoing negligence has caused significant harm to my creditworthiness and has had adverse effects on my financial well-being. I am now seeking the intervention and assistance of the CFPB to help resolve these persistent issues. The Credit Bureau failure to correct these inaccuracies and conduct a thorough investigation is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Specifically, they have breached my consumer rights to a fair and accurate credit report by not fulfilling their obligation to investigate disputes properly and correct any errors. The FCRA mandates that credit reporting agencies must investigate disputed information and make corrections if inaccuracies are found. The Credit Bureau continuous disregard for this responsibility has not only violated my rights but has also perpetuated the damages being done to me as a consumer. I trust that the CFPB will take appropriate action to ensure that The Credit Bureau adheres to the FCRAs requirements and conducts a comprehensive review of my disputes. I am seeking a resolution that includes the correction of all inaccuracies on my credit report and a guarantee that my consumer rights will be respected moving forward.

This is my NUMEROUS request that I have been a victim of identity theft and that no one seems to care, that I want to dispute specific records in my credit file that do not belong to me, or that I have signed any agreement. The items I'm challenging have nothing to do with any transactions I've done or authorized to gain products, services, or money. Please remove the following items.

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

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach.

Company: LEXISNEXIS (MI)

I am continually being called on the telephone by your firm over this alleged debt. According to the information given to us by your firm, the date of last activity by the original creditor is LEXIS NEXIS The Statue of Limitations on this alleged debt, even should it be ours, is 5 years in the state of MICHIGAN Since the debt is out of the statute of limitations, and you are reporting this on my credit report, you are conducting collection activities on zombie debt. 
I'm sure you are aware of the provisions in the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). However, I would like to point out that your firm has violated provisions of the FDCPA by implying that the legal status of the debt is collectible by reporting the alleged debt to the credit bureaus. The exact statute : [ 15 USC 1692e ] ( 2 ) The false representation of -- ( A ) the legal status of the alleged debt and ( B ) any services rendered or compensation which may be lawfully received by any debt collector for the collection of a debt. 
I am also doubtful that you would have adequate documentation to prove in court that you have the right to report this negative information on my credit report, and therefore you are in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act as well as the FDCPA. However, I will give you the chance to prove that you are lawfully entitled to report this information by requesting an investigation. 
Under the FDCPA I am also invoking my right to ask you to stop contacting me unless you can provide adequate validation of this alleged debt or notification that you are ceasing collections activities. 
Please remove this account immediately from my credit report or I will have to take legal remedies which may include lawsuits and notifying our state attorney general 's office. In addition, I'm sure your legal staff will agree that non-compliance with this request could put your company in serious legal trouble with the FTC and other state or federal agencies. Under the FCRA and the FDCPA, each violation is subject to a {$1000.00} fine, payable to me.

T o whom it may concern, I recently looked at my consumer report and was very upset to see items that are a result of identity theft. I did not provide written authorization or instructions for the identified transactions to be reported on my consumer report. I am demanding that the reporting of this information be blocked and deleted. My request to block is not being made in error ; nor is my request to block being made on the basis of material misrepresentation of fact by me relevant to the request to block the identified transactions. The identified transactions are not information related to any transaction by me as the consumer. You are required to do what I am asking and block these transactions listed in my FTC report and letter attached. The identification of these transactions are stated in my FTC report and in my letter attached. You are required to block these transactions on my consumer report within 4 days of the receipt of this notice.

15 U.S. Code 1681c2 - Block of information resulting from identity theft ( a ) Block Except as otherwise provided in this section, a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt by such agency of ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report ; ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer; and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer.
