Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

Subject : Dispute of Inaccurate Information XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Credit Trade Line To Whom It May Concern, I am filing a formal complaint about inaccuracies on my credit reports from Experian, XXXX, and XXXX concerning a trade line for a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account. Upon reviewing my credit reports, I discovered several discrepancies that violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The specific issues are outlined below : 1. Discrepancy in Account Open Date : XXXX reports the account open date as XX/XX/XXXX, while XXXX and Experian report it as XX/XX/XXXXXXXX This inconsistency shows a failure to maintain accurate reporting across all credit bureaus, as required by the FCRA. 
2. Discrepancy in Credit Limit : XXXX reports a credit limit of {$0.00}, whereas XXXX and Experian both report a credit limit of {$1000.00}. This inconsistency is another violation of the FCRA 's requirement for accurate reporting. 
As stated in 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( b ) and Public Law 90-321 ( 82 Stat. 146 ), credit reporting agencies are required to ensure the highest possible accuracy in the information they provide. Additionally, 15 USXXXX XXXX sets a {$500.00} fine for each violation by any agency that willfully fails to comply with these accuracy requirements. Each credit bureau has a legal obligation, as part of their agreements with consumers, to comply with these laws. 
By failing to maintain consistent and accurate information, Experian, XXXX, and XXXX are all in violation of the FCRA. This amounts to willful noncompliance, as defined under 15 USC 1681o, which states that any agency that is negligent in its duty to maintain accurate credit information is liable for damages. Additionally, 15 USC 1681s-2 specifies the obligations of information furnishers to ensure that the data reported to credit bureaus is accurate, which has clearly not been fulfilled in this case. 
Furthermore, the Privacy Act of 1974 ( 5 USC 552 ( a ) ( e ) ( iii ) ) requires that consumer reporting agencies comply with all U.S. laws related to consumer credit information. The discrepancies highlighted above represent clear violations of both the FCRA and the Privacy Act of 1974.

Requested Actions : 1. Immediate Removal of Inaccurate Trade Line : I request the immediate removal of the inaccurate XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX trade line from my credit reports with Experian, XXXX, and XXXX. 
2. Imposition of Fines for Violations : I request the enforcement of fines of no less than {$500.00} USD for each violation, totaling {$1000.00} USD for the two reported discrepancies.

Please confirm receipt of this complaint and provide a written response within 30 days, detailing the actions taken to address these inaccuracies in my credit report. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information.

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation.

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent.

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Issue: Communication tactics — Frequent or repeated calls
Company: ONEMAIN FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, LLC. (MD)

I currently have a loan with OneMain Financial and I am behind in my payments. They consistently call my phone - at least 4 times per day. Twice in the morning and again twice in the evening. I was able to answer a call on Saturday, XX/XX/2016 around XXXX only to be chastised about not being able to speak with a representative. After explaining that I was in a rush to head out of the door but would call back to discuss a payment arrangement, I was then interrogated as to what were the exact reasons behind my financial difficulties and when could they expect a payment. After again explaining that I was in a rush and unable to speak, the representative then stated that " they had been trying to reach me and could n't understand why I did n't have time to speak with her then ''. I then informed her that I did n't have time to speak with them b/c I was busy trying to find a way with work in order to pay the outstanding balance. At that point I again mentioned that I would return their call and ended the conversation. I understand that there is a balance due but this company has constantly harassed and threatened me and my fiance regarding our account. We have been paying down an account we opened years ago and still have more than half remaining. Their accounting figures do n't match what we 've paid and on top of that, they are n't easy to deal with. Given the nature of the economy and so many people having difficulties, it would be thoughtful enough of this company to not only provide training to their representatives regarding accounting practices but simple courtesy and compassion could go a long way. The constant phone calls and veiled threats to send the account to " legal '' - whatever that may entail - are over zealous and obnoxious. I have done a lot of research online regarding their company and their practices and it has considerably gone down over the years that I have had the account. My goal is to find any way possible to pay off this account and I will NEVER open another account with them again and WOULD NOT recommend anyone to use this account no matter how dire the circumstances.
