Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

I wish to underscore that the inclusion of inaccurately reported late payment remarks on my accounts not only raises significant concerns but also represents a blatant violation of the regulations delineated in the 15 USC 1666. This statute, an integral component of the Fair Credit Billing Act, specifically aims to safeguard consumers against unjust billing practices and mandates the accurate reporting of payment histories. Each payment associated with these accounts has been diligently and promptly rendered within the specified timeframes. Therefore, any deviation from this precise reporting not only undermines my financial integrity but also contravenes the legal protections enshrined within this statute. It is imperative to promptly rectify this situation to ensure compliance with the law and uphold the rights of consumers.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (SC)

I am a hardworking individual has been diligently paying my accounts on time for the quite a long time. However, upon reviewing my credit report, I discover several instances of late payments recorded by these creditors. Perplexed by this discrepancy, I contacted these creditors to inquire about the inaccuracies. After discussing the matter with a customer service representative and the billing department, it becomes evident that there was a mutual agreement between me and these creditors to adjust the payment schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite adhering to this adjusted schedule, the payments were mistakenly marked as late in the system. Understanding the gravity of the situation, these creditors swiftly acknowledge the error and assures me that the inaccurate late payments will be rectified. Additionally, they offer to provide written documentation of the agreed-upon payment schedule to prevent any future misunderstandings.

In the quiet humdrum of everyday life, a sudden jolt shattered the tranquility : I had become a victim of identity theft. Like a thief in the night, unseen hands had stolen my personal information, plunging me into a bewildering maze of uncertainty.

Yet, in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of resilience emerged, a resolve to reclaim what was rightfully mine and restore the harmony stolen by unseen adversaries.

I hope you're doing well. I've run into a bit of a problem. While going through my credit report, I noticed some things that don't seem quite right, and it appears my identity have been stolen online. My nephew, who's studying XXXX XXXX, helped me out by finding a way to check if my XXXX emails were involved in this breach. To my surprise, it turns out that 2 out of 3 of my emails contain a lot of my sensitive and personal information. I want to emphasize that I'm not the one behind these accounts.

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

XXXX XXXX has violated my consumer rights! They are reporting a XXXX XXXXXXXX Bankruptcy stating my spouse filed it. I have never been married and they have shared this inaccurate information with the credit bureaus XXXX and Experian. They are not reporting factual and accurate information. I have disputed this information with them several times and they are stating PACER is reporting it accurate. I contacted PACER and they do not have a file that says spouse filed anything. I have asked them to remove this information and they have not. They are in violation of METROXXXX reporting requisites per the XXXX  as well as the FRCA, and thus damaging my credit. This Public Record item is deficient as reported, and Per Federal reporting regulations all claims MUST be to a maximum " possible '' accuracy and maximum " possible '' completeness 's, which extends to the reporting mandates that there be no deviation from METROXXXX Format Compliance since, per the XXXX, DNP 3-4 Any deviation from these standards jeopardizes the integrity of the data ''. Unfortunately they do not have reasonable procedures in place to assure maximum accuracy and completeness of the information that they included in my consumer reports that they have prepared for me.

XX/XX/2023 To Whom May Concern, Im writing in regard to 2 of my credit cards with XXXX XXXX. The  XXXX XXXX credit card accounts ending in XXXX  XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ending in XXXX  XXXX. I recently pulled my credit report & it shows that these cards are not being reported to the following Credit Bureaus XXXX and Equifax. I spoke with both XXXX and Equifax to confirm, I was told that the accounts are not being report to them and to call XXXX XXXX to speak with them. Also, that they're the ones who have to send documents in order for the credit card to start reporting. XX/XX/XXXX is when I initially reported the problem, I was sent a letter on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX. Theyre two different departments. The letter stating that the XXXX XXXX XXXX is being reported, the other letters for the XXXX XXXX  stated they wanted me to send more information proving that its not being reported. I sent XXXX XXXX a full credit report providing them with highlight details showing nether one of the credit cards on the credit reports. I also have another 3rd credit card with XXXX XXXX a XXXX account I provided as well showing that account is being report, just to prove that the other 2 are not. So I received another letter on XX/XX/XXXX. Both letters stated the credit cards are being reported. I'm not sure where the confusion is coming from whether its XXXX XXXX not reporting or it's XXXX or Equifax, I have no clue what else to do. As I was not aware of this matter until recently getting my credit repaired. I have a account with XXXX  thats monitoring my credit & pulled my report from there website as well & neither one of those credit cards are showing. I have had these cards for some time now & this comes as a shock that making on time payments are not being accounted for toward my actual credit score. I hope this issue can be resolved quickly. 

Thank you!

On XXXX XX/XX/XXXX I had a Credit Score of XXXX. On XXXX XX/XX/XXXX my score dropped XXXX points to XXXX. Today XXXX XXXX XXXX my score dropped another XXXX points to XXXX. This is ridiculous, I pay off my credit cards every month. I called Experian on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX and spoke to XXXX. He said the decrease in scores is because I pay off my credit cards every month so this does not leave a history payment trail. Therefore they considered my rating as XXXX usage and I am penalized. This is unfair reporting. It penalized responsible consumers. I request CFPB investigate and return the XXXX points to my credit score. Thank you
