[ Your Name ] [ Your Address ] [ City, State, Zip Code ] [ Email Address ] [ Phone Number ] [ Date ] Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX DC XXXX Subject : Complaint Against Experian for Inaccurate Credit Reporting Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a complaint against Experian regarding the inaccurate information being reported on my credit report. 

Today, I spoke with XXXX XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX, and they confirmed that the loan I settled with them on XX/XX/2023, is not a charge-off account. They received their payment on XX/XX/2023. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), any inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information must be removed or corrected within 30 days. A charge-off occurs when a creditor determines that a borrower is unlikely to repay several months of missed payments and subsequently writes off the unpaid debt as a loss. Such negative marksincluding missed payments, charge-offs, and collectionscan significantly harm a consumers creditworthiness. 

Given that XXXX XXXX XXXX has confirmed the status of my account, I respectfully request that you compel Experian to remove this account from my credit report due to inaccurate reporting. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely,

I am lodging this complaint against the credit bureaus because they have repeatedly failed to respond to my dispute letters regarding incorrect information on my credit report. Despite my numerous attempts to resolve this issue through the proper channels, the credit bureaus have not acknowledged or investigated my disputes, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Even with multiple submissions, the credit bureaus have not provided any response, confirmation of an investigation, or correction of the disputed information. This non-response is a clear violation of the FCRA, which mandates that credit bureaus must investigate disputes and respond within 30 days. 

I request that you update, block, or delete the inaccurate accounts and unauthorized inquiries listed in my credit report.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

I am submitting this complaint against Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX for their ongoing and unjustified reporting of a disputed debt claimed by XXXX XXXX XXXX. Despite filing XXXX previous complaints against XXXX XXXX XXXX, they have persistently failed to provide the necessary documentation to validate their claim, such as the Assignment Transfer or a valid contractual agreement with the alleged original creditor, Verve. This failure to comply with legal requirements raises serious concerns about the legitimacy of their actions. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 U.S.C. 1681i, I am entitled to a thorough reinvestigation of any disputed information on my credit report. Given that XXXX XXXX XXXX has not met their burden of proof by providing the required documentation, this account should not continue to be reported on my credit file without proper validation. By continuing to report this unverified debt, Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX are in direct violation of the FCRA 's requirement for accuracy and completeness in credit reporting. Their failure to ensure that only accurate and substantiated information is reported reflects a serious disregard for their legal obligations. Furthermore, XXXX XXXX XXXX 's repeated failure to provide verification of the debt upon request, as required under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ), necessitates immediate and decisive action. Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX, by continuing to report this disputed debt, are complicit in perpetuating these violations and must be held accountable for their role in this matter. Additionally, I believe there are potential violations of the Internal Revenue Code ( IRC ), specifically IRC 6050P, which mandates the issuance of a 1099-C form if the debt has been forgiven or settled. Any inconsistencies in the reporting of debt ownership or false statements regarding the value or transfer of the debt could also constitute a violation of IRC 7206. These issues warrant further investigation, including by the IRS, into XXXX XXXX LLCs tax reporting practices. 
Given the persistence of these violations, I am demanding that Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX immediately cease reporting this debt on my credit file until proper validation is provided by XXXX XXXX XXXX. If XXXX XXXX XXXX can not provide the legally required documentation, this account must be removed from my credit report without delay. I am invoking my rights under the FCRA, FDCPA, and relevant sections of the IRC, and I request that the CFPB enforce compliance with these laws. Failure to address these ongoing issues will result in further escalation to other regulatory bodies, including the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) and the Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ), to ensure that my rights are protected. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.
