Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian for its failure to conduct proper verification efforts to investigate disputes and validate the inaccuracies of information on my credit report. Despite my repeated attempts to correct erroneous information, Experian has consistently failed to address the discrepancies effectively. 

On numerous occasions, I have filed disputes with Experian in the morning, only to receive notifications later the same day claiming that the disputed information has been verified. This rapid turnaround raises serious concerns about the thoroughness and integrity of Experian 's investigation process. One glaring example of this negligence is the case of XXXX XXXX XXXX, which reportedly has none of my accurate personal information on file, including my address, phone number, email, name, or social security number. 

I have provided Experian with the necessary identification documents to rectify these inaccuracies, yet the discrepancies persist on my credit report. This blatant disregard for accuracy and compliance with federal regulations, including 15 USC 1681i and other relevant USC codes, is unacceptable and undermines the trust and reliability of Experian 's credit reporting services. 

Enclosed with this letter are copies of the supporting documents that substantiate my claims and highlight the discrepancies that Experian has failed to address. I urge the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to investigate this matter thoroughly and take appropriate action against Experian for its negligent practices.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

I lodged a complaint against these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. Surprisingly, I haven't received any response or correspondence from the Bureaus, and they have already closed my complaint. Could you please explain why they closed my complaint without resolving the issue? Have they even acknowledged or verified my dispute? I need assurance that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report and validated the accounts. Can you provide details about the methods they used to verify my report? This situation is incredibly frustrating! It has been more than 30 days since I filed the complaint, and I expected these accounts to be updated by now. If they are not updated immediately, I will have no other option 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.

My bank account was garnished and all money was taken from midland funding. I didnt get a letter of judgement, no email, phone call, voicemail. Collector too every XXXX I had. Leaving me a {$0.00} the money in my account was child support money paid to me by my ex for my kids. I am currently XXXX due to having to stay XXXX and take care of my XXXX XXXX  old grandbaby and that child support along with assistance for food stamps is all I had. I now have no money to pay bills for me and my children. That is what my child support money was for. 
Since they wiped my checking, my savings and a secured credit card that I had just in case. I have no money now. 
How can I possibly get the collector to give me back some if not all of my money and set up a reasonable monthly payment plan. 
I recently moved and I have not been receiving all of my mail from the post office so if there was notice sent, I never received. No certified letter showing proof of delivery on judgement letter, nothing. 

On XXXX these amounts were taken from my account Checking- {$2500.00} Savings- {$180.00} Secured credit card- {$300.00} Processing fee - {$100.00} That was every XXXX to my name from my kids child support and the last little money I had from my tax refund. I am - {$4.00} in my account now. How can I provide for my kids?? This could cause me and my kids and my grandbaby to be homeless soon. Im scared to death and dont know what to do. 
Please if you could help me with this I would be forever grateful Sincerely XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (IL)

I have always maintained an impeccable payment record with the XXXX, with all my payments set up on Autopay. This reported late payment is due to a system error on their part during payment processing. 

This billing error by the company does not reflect my payment history and violates USC Code 1681eb. This mistake has severely impacted my reputation, character, lifestyle, and my family.

I insist that the late payment listed in the MONTHS REPORTING LATE be removed immediately.

The company is not complying with 15 USC 1666b, which outlines the standards for treating a payment as late. They incorrectly reported my payment as late without following the law. 

15 USC 1666b ( a ) specifies that a creditor can not consider a payment late unless reasonable procedures ensure that the periodic statement, with required information per section 1637 ( b ), is mailed or delivered to the consumer at least 21 days before the payment due date.

The company failed to send the periodic statement and disclosures as required by section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the due date in good faith under rule 1002, but it has never been provided. 

This situation is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and unjust to me as a consumer. 

I demand the removal of the late payments from my consumer reports.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NC)

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.

I found out the creditor didn't give the required 21-day notice with a statement. This would've let me pay on time and avoid late fees. This error made it seem like I didn't pay when I should have, which is the creditor 's mistake.

I am utterly disappointed right now, you complete disregard your own stated timeline. In your memo dated, it's explicitly stated that the results of the investigation would be provided to me within 30 days. That deadline has come and gone without a single word from them regarding the status or findings. 

This lack of follow-through and blatant failure to uphold their commitment is unacceptable. You are the bureau and you have ample time to conduct your work and there is no justified reason for this excessive delay in sharing conclusions. In your memo built an expectation that I relied upon, and your inaction represents a breach of that assurance.
