Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NC)

Complaint : I am filing this complaint against Experian, XXXX, and XXXX for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccurate information on my credit reports. Despite providing substantial evidence that the data being reported for the same account is inconsistent among the three credit bureaus, the inaccuracies persist. 

Details of the Complaint : Dispute Investigation Failure : Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ), credit reporting agencies are required to conduct a reasonable investigation of any disputes made by consumers regarding the accuracy of information on their credit reports. Despite submitting disputes to Experian, XXXX, and XXXX, these agencies have failed to properly investigate and correct the inaccuracies reported. 

Inconsistent Reporting : I have attached documents that clearly show discrepancies in the reporting of the same account among the three credit bureaus. These documents prove that the account is being inaccurately reported, yet no corrective action has been taken by the credit reporting agencies. 

Violations : 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) - Failure to Conduct a Reasonable Investigation : By not properly investigating my disputes, Experian, XXXX, and XXXX have violated their obligations under the FCRA. A reasonable investigation should have revealed the discrepancies and led to the correction of the inaccurate information. 

15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) - Failure to Maintain Accurate Records : The credit bureaus are also required under the FCRA to follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. The discrepancies in the reporting of the same account indicate a failure to maintain accurate records. 

Attachments : Document XXXX, and XXXX : Comparison of account information as reported by Experian, XXXX, and XXXX, highlighting the inconsistencies. 
Document XXXX : Correspondence and evidence submitted during the dispute process to each of the credit bureaus. 
Document XXXX : Responses ( or lack thereof ) from Experian, XXXX, and XXXX to my disputes.

I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

I recently reviewed my consumer report and I noticed that there were XXXX late payments on my account with XXXX XXXX XXXX that I havent been late for. In addition to that, I have also noticed that several of my consumer rights have been violated in the midst of these late payments being added to my credit report. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), as outlined in 15 USC 1681e ( b ), consumer reporting agencies are responsible for providing maximum accuracy when reporting consumer information, however my consumer report has several inaccuracies that I have attached below. made several attempts to this company to stop reporting innacurate information on my credit report, they refuse to do so and its causing me a world of trouble and stress. They did not complete a Social Security Form 3288 ( SSA-3288 ), which is required for permissible purpose under FCRA. This raises serious concerns about the legitimacy of the information reported, as well as the adherence to privacy regulations. I obtained my credit report it is reporting numerous innacurate negative accounts. This has not only damaged my right to extend credit but it has made loose hope and trust within the banking system. I have been denied credit cards home loans because of this and my character has not only been defamed but my mental and physical health have suffered greatly. There is no law that says a consumer reporting agency MUST furnish information about a consumer which is why congress made it very clear that XXXX, XXXX, equifaxASSUMED this VITAL role pursuant too 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 3 ). Also, XXXX, XXXX, equifaxfailed to be fair and repect my privacy according too 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ). I am requesting valid proof and documentation that these negative items were investigated fairly and properly. XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax is in violation of several federal laws including responsibility they have to protect my privacy. Im giving XXXX the oppurtunity to make this matter right by way of the following ; REMOVE ACCOUNTS, REMOVE LATE PAYMENTS, REMOVE INQUIRIES, REMOVE INNACURATE PERSONAL INFORMATION. I have included certified mail slip proving the received these documents.

" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 
So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 


This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 
I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. List all accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

My account with the company and i was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with this company and all payments were placed on XXXX. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported in MONTHS REPORTING LATE to be removed They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

This company never sent The periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports.
