Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

On XX/XX/2019 I sent a final letter to the Credit Bureau discussing an issue with my consumer credit report. I explained that I have sent multiple letters requesting the following : " I am requesting validation, made pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act, along with the corresponding local state laws. Please note that I am requesting validation ; that is competent evidence bearing my signature, showing that I have ( or ever had ) some contractual obligation to pay you.

Please also be aware that any negative mark found on my credit reports ( including Experian, XXXX  and XXXX  ) from your company or any company that you represent, for a debt that I dont owe, is a violation of the FCRA & FDCPA ; therefore if you can not validate the debt, you must request that all credit reporting agencies delete the entry. " To date, I have not received any verification of any kind to resolve this matter nor has the item been deleted. My next step will be small claims court if this matter is not resolved.

I have studied the law and noted that in order for an account to continue reporting on my file, it must be accurate and verifiable. Neither of which are the case regarding this account. The account number is not shown on the credit file nor have a received any verifiable documentation to show that this is an account that I owe.

I received a letter on XX/XX/2019 stating that they have verified this account and will not be investigating the item again.

The additional letters were sent XX/XX/2019, XX/XX/2019 and XX/XX/2019. I have attached copies of the certified receipt and I appreciate your assistance with resolving this matter.

They in fact did not come from a XXXX 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.

Concerned about : Check XXXX for {$130.00} / Authorized ; Date XX/XX/19 notifying me the check was not paid. Date : Called Bluebird American Express Customer Service. Amount of time on the call : 1 hour and 23 Minuets. 

When I called about why the already preauthorized check was not honored or the amount not paid I was not able to get an answer as to why it wasnt honored. When checks are written with Bluebird they must be preauthorized through Bluebird and a confirmation code written on the check. I did all the things required. 
After talking to the initial agent, I then got transferred to 3 others people and even the customer service supervisor ( listed below ) The initial agent said she couldnt even view the transaction but put me on hold to talk with someone in The Tech Department. She then came back on the line to tell me she had them to return the money to my account. I never told her to do so. My statement to her was that Im concerned about the {$20.00} fee-my utility would charge me for a returned item. I the asked to speak with her supervisor. 
Her Supervisor said the same things about not being able to see the transaction nor the email I received. She then put me on hold and the next thing g I know someone from The Tech Department answered the line. I inquired as to why I was transferred to her. She said she did not know and said it was a Cold Transfer. 
After telling the agent my concerns, he put me on hold to speak with someone. He the came back to tell me several time that all he could see was that the {$130.00} had been placed back into my account on request of the customer-which t told him that I never asked her to do so. He then put me on hold for over 15minutes. The next thing I hear was an agent from the Fraud Department. I refused to again all of her the previously shared information.

I am rejecting this response because : The Credit Bureau recent response to my complaint regarding inaccuracies on my credit report. 

Despite my numerous attempts to dispute these erroneous accounts and rectify the situation, XXXX has failed to adequately address and resolve the issues at hand. 

Over the past several months, I have repeatedly contacted The Credit Bureau, providing detailed information and supporting documentation to demonstrate the inaccuracies present in my credit report. Unfortunately, each attempt has been met with insufficient action and a lack of proper investigation into the matters I raised. This ongoing negligence has caused significant harm to my creditworthiness and has had adverse effects on my financial well-being. 

I am now seeking the intervention and assistance of the CFPB to help resolve these persistent issues. The Credit Bureau failure to correct these inaccuracies and conduct a thorough investigation is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Specifically, they have breached my consumer rights to a fair and accurate credit report by not fulfilling their obligation to investigate disputes properly and correct any errors. 

The FCRA mandates that credit reporting agencies must investigate disputed information and make corrections if inaccuracies are found. 
The Credit Bureau continuous disregard for this responsibility has not only violated my rights but has also perpetuated the damages being done to me as a consumer. 

I trust that the CFPB will take appropriate action to ensure that The Credit Bureau adheres to the FCRAs requirements and conducts a comprehensive review of my disputes. I am seeking a resolution that includes the correction of all inaccuracies on my credit report and a guarantee that my consumer rights will be respected moving forward.

My account with EXPERIAN was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. 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.

EXPERIAN 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
