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

My accounts 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 to be removed/updated.

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.

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!

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

I am writing to provide a summary of the issues I have encountered with Experian, as requested. For privacy reasons, I have excluded personal information such as my name, account number, address, and Social Security number. 

On XX/XX/2023, I engaged in a conversation with XXXX representatives from Experian XXXX identified as a manager and the other as an agent in the fraud department. During this discussion, I raised concerns about the verification process of the information on my credit report. The agents were unable to provide details on how the data was verified and asserted that Experian is not obligated to furnish such information. This lack of transparency has led to allegations of negligence and noncompliance. 

I am aware of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates credit reporting agencies to maintain accurate and verifiable information. Despite my request, Experian has failed to provide any documentation, such as a consumer contract with my signature, as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). The conversation on XX/XX/2023, left me with the impression that Experian may be intentionally reporting inaccurate information on my credit report, a clear violation of my right to fair credit reporting. 

As outlined in my previous letter, I have informed Experian of my intent to pursue legal action under FCRA provisions, seeking relief and monetary damages. In this correspondence, I am demanding the immediate removal of specific accounts from my credit report due to continued violations of the FCRA. 

The listed accounts include billing errors and inaccuracies that have significantly damaged my credit score. I have attached a copy of the letter sent to Experian, outlining the reasons for these demands. I have also notified Experian of my intent to file a formal complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and use the provided information as evidence in pending litigation. 

I am reaching out to you to bring this matter to your attention and to request your assistance in ensuring a thorough and expedited resolution. The situation is of utmost importance to me, and I am prepared to take further legal action if necessary.

Capital One auto finance indicates on my consumer report that was written off in XXXX ; but was recently updated to reflect the status of the account as being open. This is inaccurate. If theres an open account, it does not belong to me. I do not have an open auto loan with Capital One. Is this a result of the breach of data? As a result, this needs to be removed from my consumer credit report.

Company: Block, Inc. (RI)

On XX/XX/year>, at XXXXXXXX XXXX., I successfully made a paper money deposit of {$59.00} at XXXX to my CashApp account. I have frequently utilized this option to add funds to my account without issue. However, when I attempted to make another paper money deposit on XX/XX/year>, I was no longer provided with the option to generate a barcode necessary to add funds. It appeared that the option to add paper money had been completely removed from my account. 
I promptly inquired with CashApp customer support regarding this matter, but their responses were vague, and they refused to provide any explanation or assistance as to why my account was no longer eligible to receive paper money deposits. This lack of transparency has significantly affected my ability to use the service. 

It has come to my attention that I am not alone in this experience ; many other consumers are facing similar issues. CashApps removal of this feature without proper notice or full disclosure constitutes a failure to provide adequate communication regarding material changes to their product. This is not only misleading but could potentially be deemed deceptive business practice. 

I am requesting that CashApp reinstate my ability to make paper money deposits, as this was a key feature of the product that I relied upon. Their refusal to provide transparency on this matter raises concerns about the fairness and legality of such actions.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

Around XX/XX/XXXX of XXXX   I started looking around for a new vehicle. Upon getting a quote at the dealership I was informed that I was a first-time car buyer due to having no credit history of any auto loan. This is incorrect and I was totally caught off-guard. I decided to run my credit report from XXXX XXXX XXXX. The credit report did not show my {$20000.00} auto loan from XXXX XXXX XXXX starting XX/XX/XXXX, and ended XX/XX/XXXX. Since it wasn't on the credit report, I decide to call Experian and ask for ways to fix my problem. They told me they can do nothing from their side and the mistake had to be corrected by the Credit Union. Once I started a conversation with the Credit Union, they admitted that they in fact had lost all the documents on their end and could not correct something that they had no evidence of doing. Since this was my first auto loan my mother did co-sign with me, therefore, she was able to produce all the documents verifying my claim. The auto loan does show up on her credit report but not mine as you will see in the attached documentation. She is also willing to sign an affidavit stating that the account and loan was jointly titled in both our names. XXXX XXXX XXXX requested my documents, which I faxed. They never could come up with a copy of the loan agreement. At the time they seemed helpful, so I continued to work with them hopeful that this omission of the loan would be corrected. After not hearing from them for a few weeks I gave them a call on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  and they told me they will not report it as Experian told the Credit Union that would be a violation. The Credit Union will help me no further. 

In summary, they could or would not provide me documentation of the auto loan I received from them. I gave them ample time to review and report the loan and I even provided them with the only information they have about my loan. I have account numbers, amount, type of account, account closure letter, everything I need for them to report the credit and they refuse to do so.
