Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MI)

I am writing to formally dispute an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report, as allowed under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ). I believe this information is not correct, and I am requesting that you investigate this matter promptly. 
The item in question is a late payment reported by XXXX XXXX for the account number XXXX. The late payments are reported as being dated XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and I firmly believe this is inaccurate for the following reasons : 1. I have always made my payments on time, apparently they have administrative errors 2. Additionally, under the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), section 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ), creditors are required to provide clear and accurate information regarding the terms of the credit. If the late payment reported does not align with the terms initially agreed upon, it warrants removal. 
I also wish to highlight that under 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, furnishers of information are obligated to provide accurate information to credit reporting agencies. Given the circumstances outlined, I respectfully request that you take the necessary steps to remove this late payment from my credit report as it does not reflect the true nature of my payment history.

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

This was originally disputed XX/XX/XXXX, then again in XX/XX/XXXX. I have now reached out to XXXX and Experian once again, today XX/XX/XXXX, and they are wanting me to start the process all over again. 

Experian refuses to update my credit report stating that the account in question is still being reported as Open. I have submitted to them, a letter from XXXX XXXX, which contains the statement " The Card is no longer active and is no longer associated with the primary Card Members account. '' I would like to note that this is an authorized user account, with my wife who WAS the primary account holder - she has since more than a year ago closed the primary account so there is absolutely no way this authorized user account could be considered active. 

Neither Experian or XXXX will communicate directly with one another to resolve this issue, leaving me to go around and around with the same information from both sides, neither making any actual attempt to correct the report and resolve this issue. 

The resolution I expect is that Experian updates their reporting to state, correctly, that the account in question is closed. I expect Experian and XXXX to work together to accomplish this resolution, as I, the Customer, should not be stuck in limbo in this way with false information being provided to potential creditors.

These can be combined On my credit report, you have shown incorrect accounts that should not be there at all. This is not only unjust to me, but it's also concerning, because I've never done or made any of the things you accuse me of. If you don't look into these accounts, I'll take legal action against you.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach.

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 account listed without my expressed written consent.
