Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score — Problem getting your free annual credit report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NY)

Under the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I maintain that I have resided at the above referenced address for the past 3 years. I have listed under penalty of perjury my correct social security number and date of birth, and I would appreciate an updated credit report to be sent to me within the next five business days from Experian, XXXX and XXXX XXXX collectively. I believe that each consumer reporting agency has invalidated the true spirit of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act. The Act first established XXXX XXXX XXXX  was intended to establish a plan whereas common American citizens could obtain a copy of their credit reports at least once a year free of charge. Since each credit reporting agency now has marketing divisions such as FXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  the automation system to obtain the free annual reports is looped into an information request to steer citizens into additional product offers that are excessive and unnecessary. Even though I may have received an approval of an updated credit report from either Experian, XXXX XXXX or XXXX respectively, it is unfair that I need to do a mail request since I can submit my personal information through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) portal. I believe that since the CFPB is the sole responsible oversight party of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, its imperative that any additional solicitation of information from the credit bureaus should be blocked permanently. I along with any other citizen should receive a free credit report upon request. The credit reporting agencies are an important aspect of the national banking system to properly function, but the current aggressive marketing campaign soliciting citizens for an arbitrary FICO score has gone too far, including but not limited to Experian Boost. We must return to a common ground that is fair for all consumers in the United States, and we must be able to request additional marketing on our own terms. Accordingly, I am making a request for a free credit report with confirmation number to my attached address.

I recently submitted a request for investigation of the above noted account, which you denied. I submitted sufficient information for you perform a reasonable investigation of my dispute. Unfortunately, you neglected to do so. If you had investigated properly the results would have proven that I have never been late on these accounts though your company claims to have verified these. Depending solely on your flawed e-Oscar system has proven to produce less than accurate and fair information. I request that you take a more active and accurate approach to investigate this for me. 
As in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, Equifax, XXXX XXXX, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldn't merely " parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have to conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty/integrity of the creditorXXXX in question. Sending out a generic form letter through the e-Oscar system that does not even contain my reasons for the dispute is by no ones measure reasonable.

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd 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.

I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. 

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

A few weeks ago I sent letters to all 3 credit bureaus regarding some items on my credit report which I know are not accurate which is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA and you must abide by the law. Everything I have provided in my letters is true and accurate to my knowledge. Ive received emails and letters saying Im using a 3rd party which is incorrect because I am the one sending my letters out and filing this complaint with no help from a credit repair company or 3rd party. The CRAs are in violation of my rights due to not providing a notice of dispute and for failure to communicate to me that I disputed stuff on my credit. I request these accounts to be deleted from my credit asap or I will take legal action and hire a lawyer. I want to purchase a house soon and this holding me back. 

I would like the items I disputed in my letters to be handled accordingly based on the reasons that I put in my letters.

My account with ( CREDITOR NAME ) 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 those account 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.

( CREDITOR NAME ) 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

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.

I filed a dispute regarding inquiries made due to identity theft. I have informed the creditor that these inquiries were not made by me and provided evidence of my identity, but they keep closing the dispute the same day, claiming it was me. It seems like they are not thoroughly investigating my dispute, as it takes only a few hours for them to close it and inform me that it will stay on my credit for two years. Despite my repeated attempts to explain that my information was stolen, they are not taking it into consideration. 

THESE RESULTS ARE NOT ACCURATE AS THESE ARE MY MY INQUriry as i didn't approve or give neither company permission to run my credit!
