Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

I filed a dispute with all three credit reporting agencies namely Experian, XXXX XXXX and XXXX regarding inaccuracies to my credit report. Experian removed the following account XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX and then reinserted it as accurate. The other reporting agencies namely Experian and XXXX deleted this account as inaccurate. So therefore Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) regulates the reinsertion of account information on a consumer 's credit report. A credit reporting agency can only reinsert disputed information if the data furnisher certifies that the information is accurate and complete. The CRA must notify the consumer with 5 business days of reinsertion. Please furnish me with copies of any and all such certification.

Additional information. As part of, or in addition to, the notice under clause ( ii ), a consumer reporting agency shall provide to a consumer in writing not later than 5 business days after the date of the reinsertion ( I ) a statement that the disputed information has been reinserted ; ( II ) the business name and address of any furnisher of information contacted and the telephone number of such furnisher, if reasonably available, or of any furnisher of information that contacted the consumer reporting agency, in connection with the reinsertion of such information ; and ( III ) a notice that the consumer has the right to add a statement to the consumer 's file disputing the accuracy or completeness of the disputed information. 

Please furnish me with the required statements and data ( C ) Procedures to prevent reappearance. A consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to prevent the reappearance in a consumer 's file, and in consumer reports on the consumer, of information that is deleted pursuant to this paragraph and a notice that, if requested by the consumer, a description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information shall be provided to the consumer by the agency, including the business name and address of any furnisher of information contacted in connection with such information and the telephone number of such furnisher, if reasonably available ; Please furnish me with a full description of the procedures used to determine the accuracy of the information.

( 7 ) Description of reinvestigation procedure. A consumer reporting agency shall provide to a consumer a description referred to in paragraph ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) by not later than 15 days after receiving a request from the consumer for that description.

In accordance with the above requirements of the FCRA, please furnish me with all requested material within 15 days

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to formally request the removal of negative accounts and hard inquiries from my credit report due to identity theft. 

I recently discovered that unauthorized accounts were opened in my name without my consent. This has severely impacted my credit score and financial standing. I have attached relevant documentation, including a police report and any supporting evidence, to verify my claims. 

As a victim of identity theft, I kindly ask that you investigate this matter and remove any negative entries and hard inquiries that are not linked to my actual credit history. I believe this action is necessary to rectify my credit report and alleviate the consequences of this unfortunate situation. 

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to your prompt response.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Date : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX To Whom It XXXX Concern, I am writing to follow up on my previous dispute regarding inaccurate information that is still being reported on my credit file, despite my prior request for removal under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
In accordance with the FCRA, I am entitled to have inaccurate or unverifiable information removed from my credit report. I previously identified the following accounts as incorrect and requested their removal : XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX The specific inaccuracies in these accounts include : Date of Opening : The reported opening date is incorrect. 
Credit Limit : The listed credit limit is inaccurate.

Last Reported Date : The last reported date does not match any legitimate records.

Last Date Active : The listed last date active is inaccurate.

Last Date of Payment : The reported last payment date is incorrect.

Payment History : The payment history does not reflect actual transactions. The reported cancellation of debt does not accurately reflect the circumstances under which the debt was canceled. Debt was Canceled by Insolvency/Other. Due unforeseen events and are now counted as Income on my 1040 Tax Form, and as such, it should not impact my credit report negatively. Furthermore this is a Tax Implications Misrepresentation. The reporting of this debt may have tax implications that do not apply in my situation, and therefore, it should not be reflected in my credit report.

Despite my formal dispute, these inaccurate entries remain on my report. Under the FCRA, if the information can not be verified or is found to be inaccurate, the credit reporting agency is required to delete, this obligation was not fulfilled.

I am requesting immediate action to correct this situation. Failure to comply with the FCRA may result in further action on my part, as my credit report is continuing to reflect erroneous information that is harmful to my financial standing.

Please provide written confirmation that these inaccuracies have been investigated and removed from my credit report. I have once again included a copy of my credit report with the disputed information highlighted for your reference with proof. 
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Dear XXXX, I am writing to dispute the collection account reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX that appears on my XXXX credit report. I have checked with **Equifax** and **TransUnion**, and neither of these credit bureaus show this collection account on their records. They have also sent letters in the mail stating they have no record of this collection and asked to verify my identity because of it. This discrepancy raises serious concerns regarding the accuracy of the information being reported by XXXX, as required under the **Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) **.

1. **Violation of FCRA - Reporting Inaccurate Information** Under **15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) **, credit reporting agencies are required to follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum accuracy of the information in consumers ' credit reports. XXXX 's reporting of a collection account that is not reported by Equifax or XXXX calls into question whether such procedures were followed. 

XXXX. **Violation of FDCPA - Failure to Validate Debt** Under **15 U.S.C. 1692g** of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I have not received a proper debt validation notice or assignment contract from the collection agency, as required. This collection account has not been validated, and it is a violation for the collection agency to report this debt to any credit bureau without providing proper validation to me first. 

Request for Resolution : I respectfully request that XXXX take the following actions immediately : XXXX. **Remove the XXXX XXXX : Given that this account is not appearing on Equifax or XXXX and XXXX validation of the debt has been provided to me, I request that the collection account be removed from my XXXX credit report. Although, I am requesting additional verification from both Equifax and XXXX as well. 

XXXX. **Conduct a Thorough Investigation** : As required under **15 U.S.C. 1681i**, Experian must conduct an investigation into the accuracy of the information being reported. If this information is found to be inaccurate or unverifiable, it must be corrected or removed from my credit report immediately.

3. **Notify Me of the Results** : I request to be notified of the results of your investigation and provided with an updated credit report reflecting any changes. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
