Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NY)

I previously disputed these accounts with the relevant credit bureau ( Experian ) requesting that they verify the accuracy and legitimacy of these accounts in compliance with the FCRA. However, the credit bureau was unable to provide valid documentation or evidence to verify these accounts correctly, despite their legal obligation to do so. As a result, these charge-off accounts remain on my credit report, causing significant harm to my credit score and overall financial situation. 

The details of my dispute are as follows : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Since the credit bureau could not verify the accuracy of these accounts, I have reason to believe these accounts are fraudulent. I have already filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) regarding this matter because of the serious implications of having unverified and potentially fraudulent accounts remain on my credit report. 

Under the FCRA, I have the right to dispute inaccurate or outdated information in my credit report. Specifically : FCRA Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) requires credit reporting agencies to conduct a reasonable investigation of disputed information and to delete or correct any information that can not be verified or is inaccurate.

FCRA Section 623 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ) places an obligation on furnishers of information to provide accurate data to credit bureaus. If they can not verify the accuracy of the data they are furnishing, they must cease reporting inaccurate information.

FCRA Section 605 ( b ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) provides that if any information on my credit report is the result of an identity theft or fraudulent transaction, I may request the removal of that information by submitting an identity theft report. Though not an identity theft case, this section emphasizes the importance of ensuring that information reported is verified and accurate, as any unverified or fraudulent entries must be removed.

FCRA Section 607 ( b ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ) mandates that credit reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy in credit reports. 

I Attached to this complaint : previous dispute letter and a second dispute letter, FTC report, identity and address documents, accounts disputed, and all the inaccurate information highlighted. Thanks for your help

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (MD)

I noticed XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, doing business as Home Depot/Citibank placed a hard inquiry on my credit report without my knowledge or consent on XX/XX/2022. 

I immediately contacted all parties and requested copies of a signed authorization or recording showing I requested a line of credit increase or gave any authorization to obtain copies of my credit reports or score. 

Home Depot/Citibank may have offered a line of credit increase but never disclosed to consumers an inquiry would be placed that may impact their credit scores or rating in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

I requested Home Depot/Citibank immediately reach out to the three credit bureaus and remove the hard inquiry. To date, all parties have refused and placed the consumer on a 30 - 40-minute hold to get through to a representative.

Company: Credit Control, LLC (TX)

I am reaching out regarding the debt collection account assigned to Credit Control LLC on behalf of XXXX XXXX. I recognize that Credit Control is only assigned to manage this account. However, there are serious discrepancies and inconsistencies in how this debt is being reported across different credit bureaus, which neither XXXX nor Credit Control has clarified.

1. Inconsistent Account Status : XXXX has communicated that this account was " written off '' in XX/XX/year>, yet it continues to be reported inconsistently across credit bureaus, showing as both " open '' and " in collections '' without a clear designation of charge-off status. 


2. Discrepancies Across Bureaus : The account status varies significantly between XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX, suggesting possible reporting errors. Additionally, the transfer dates between different agencies do not align with XXXX 's records. 



Given that Credit Control is currently assigned this debt, I respectfully request that Credit Control coordinate with XXXX to provide a clear, documented response to these discrepancies. If these issues can not be resolved, I am requesting that the account be removed from my credit report due to the lack of consistent and accurate documentation, as mandated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to a detailed response.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY (FL)

I received a letter from TD Bank signed by a " Customer Experience Advocate named XXXX '' with no last name or ID number provided, and I was not given a direct contact number. Instead, I was directed to a general number, which led to being transferred multiple times and kept on hold for over an hour without any resolution. 
The letter claimed that TD Bank had attempted to contact me, which is inaccurate. I received one call from a TD Bank employee that I missed, and my answering service recorded the call. The employee left a message with a callback number, which I did reach out to. However, I only got an answering service, left a message, and received no further communication. The employee did not follow up or leave additional messages. 
Additionally, the letter asserted that the settlement letter had been reviewed and that the online telephone number was correctthis too is incorrect. A quick call to the provided number reveals it to be for a life alert scam. 
The letter also mentioned that I refused to be recorded. This happened because they would not permit me to record the conversation while they were recording it.
