" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information.

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation.

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent.

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.

I am filing this complaint against Experian for violating my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by failing to conduct a reasonable investigation into disputed negative items on my credit report, including inaccurate information regarding bankruptcy. Additionally, I have not received any response from Experian following the dispute letter I mailed to them. 
On XX/XX/year>, I mailed a dispute letter to Experian via certified mail, requesting an investigation into inaccurate negative items on my credit report. I specifically asked for the following information regarding how Experian verified the accuracy of the disputed items : The Date Experian Contacted the Creditor : I requested the specific date on which Experian initiated contact with the creditor and the furnisher of the bankruptcy. 
XXXX XXXX for the Creditor : I asked Experian to provide the complete contact information for the creditor, including their business name, address, and any available phone numbers. 
Name of the Person Who Verified the Item : I requested the full name of the individual at the creditors end who verified the accuracy of the disputed information. 
Method of Communication Used to XXXX XXXX : I requested details on how Experian communicated with the creditor ( e.g., phone, email, mail ) to verify the accuracy of the disputed items. 
Confirmation on Whether the Creditor Provided XXXX, Address, and Date of Birth : I asked whether the creditor provided any sensitive personal information such as my Social Security Number, address, or date of birth to verify the disputed items. 
Despite providing all necessary documents to verify my identity ( including my government-issued ID, Social Security XXXX XXXX and proof of address ), I have not received any response from Experian. Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are legally required to investigate and respond to consumer disputes within a reasonable time frame, typically within XXXX days. Experian 's failure to provide any response and conduct a reasonable investigation into my dispute is a clear violation of my rights under the FCRA.

" 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 "

My account with was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX 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 60 days 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. 

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!
