Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (PA)

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian regarding their failure to remove inaccurate items from my credit report, despite submitting documentation of identity theft and FTC reports as requested. 

Reports # XXXX and XXXX and XXXX, I submitted an identity theft report to Experian along with FTC reports in an effort to remove several fraudulent items from my credit report. The items in question are as follows : Account XXXX : XXXX XXXX and CO ( deleted by furnisher Experian verified and updated before deletion. 
Account Name : XXXX XXXX ( deleted by furnisher today XX/XX/year> XXXX certified to Experian that it was accurate and Experian failed to remove it. 
Account Name : XXXX Collections and out ( deleted by furnisher but was verified and updated by Experian. 
Account Name : XXXX XXXX ( auto loan has certified to Experian but this account remains on my credit but is fraudulent and currently in litigation. 

Despite my efforts, Experian failed to remove these items from my credit report. However, since then, three out of the four items have been removed directly by the furnisher due to identity theft verification.

I am deeply concerned about Experian 's handling of my request and their failure to take appropriate action in removing these fraudulent items from my credit report. I would like to understand why my initial request was rejected and how Experian verified the accuracy of these items. 

Furthermore, I am requesting that Experian promptly delete the remaining item XXXX XXXX from my credit reports, as it has been verified by the furnisher as fraudulent. 

I believe that Experian 's failure to remove these inaccurate items from my credit report is in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and has caused undue harm to my creditworthiness and financial well-being. 

Therefore, I am requesting the intervention of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to address this matter and ensure that Experian complies with its legal obligations to accurately report consumer credit information. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this complaint and look forward to a resolution that rectifies this situation and prevents similar occurrences in the future. 

Sincerely, [ Your Name ]

Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation — No notice of investigation status/result
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (OH)

This complaint is being made for several reason ; I will be listing them below and will be making a separate complaint against each of the XXXX bureaus. I feel that I am a victim of abuse, handed out by these mega-companies that have no one to hold them accountable to. I wrote the bureaus myself last month and listed my disputes in great detail, listing the reason why I felt my accounts are inaccurate. Equifax has not investigated any of my accounts. I have contacted all of the companies on my credit file to inquiry whether the credit bureaus have contacted them and what documentation was used to substantiate the way they are reporting the item in question. Not only that, but I have provided actual proof to Equifax that they have the public records reporting with invalid information and they have responded that this information is verified. Please explain to me how they can report a date that does NOT EVEN EXIST and for them to say that this is the actual way it is meant to report! I know my rights and I know that when I notify them of inaccuracies, they are required to provide an investigation into these items. If I do n't agree with their results, they are required not only to do another investigation, but to ascertain that the info they receive from the creditors is actually correct and accurate. To send me something stating they will not investigate AT ALL is completely ridiculous. They get paid to report information on my credit report so they have no incentive to remove these items. They think that by sending me a letter, I 'm going to accept it, shut up and go on with my life. I KNOW that my rights are being violated and I will get an attorney if I must to actually do something on my behalf. I know the accounts on my credit file that i have disputed are either inaccurate, unverified or incomplete. I would like to see the actual documents that were used to verify these items, I would like to know their method of verification and I would like to know why they are reporting items on my credit file that have not been legally verified. Congress states that the only legal form of verification is firsthand knowledge ; that means they are required to have the actual proof in their possession to verify these items. If they do n't, they are not legally verified and must be removed. 
I 've included my 1st and 2nd dispute letters which detail why they are inaccurate. I 've included the proof that Equifax is reporting public records that do not belong on my credit file because they are not in the least bit accurate, valid or complete.

Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several accounts that I do not recognize and believe to be fraudulent. These accounts appear to be opened without my authorization, and I am deeply concerned about the potential impact on my credit standing and financial well-being. I suspect that I am a victim of identity theft, as I have not initiated or authorized the opening of these accounts. The presence of these unauthorized accounts on my credit report has caused me significant distress and uncertainty about the security of my personal information. I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the unrecognized accounts for your reference.

I am disappointed to have received a credit report that contains inaccurate information about me. As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act, it is my right to dispute any information that I believe to be incorrect. I take this matter very seriously and I am deeply concerned that these false allegations of delinquency and derogatory information could harm my reputation and financial well-being. 

Although I am fighting back with all my strength, I need your cooperation to resolve this issue. I kindly request you to provide evidence that justifies why my accounts are considered to be in a negative state. It is my understanding that any data included in my file must be documented and validated before it can be used by creditors, as mandated by the law. However, it appears that your records are not meeting these standards. 

I feel let down that you are not doing your job properly, and I am concerned about the potential consequences that this could have on my creditworthiness. Therefore, I am giving you 30 days from now to address this matter and provide me with physical proof of your actions and my updated credit report. 

I hope that everything can be resolved in a timely manner without the need for intervention or escalation. Please provide accurate and verified information for each claim, as the allegations against me are not true. I am deeply disappointed to have to dispute these claims, but I will not let inaccurate information harm my financial well-being.

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Everything has to be 100 % accurate on my credit report. 

The Credit bureaus stated my account XXXX OF XXXX CARD was properly investigated but how is that possible if the open date is inaccurate, payment history is in accurate, the date last active is inaccurate, and date last reported is inaccurate.

My account with XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. 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 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 on my 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. 


XXXX - XXXX 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

Issue: Problem when making payments — 
Company: Avant Holding Company, Inc. (AL)

I had an automatic withdrawal that was not honored by my bank in late XXXX. The next month automatic withdrawals continued as agreed. Starting in XX/XX/XXXX I have continually tried multiple times to pay the missed payment but online always says the website is in maintenance. I have spoken to representatives over 20 times since XXXX and they refuse to take a payment stating they can't find an account. I also have emailed support which has acknowledged an issue and sent me an email stating that charges and interest would be waived until they got the issue fixed but I still get maintenance notification when I log in. Recently I got notification on my credit report that the account is past due and balance has increased due to interest and charges. With Avant 's history with an FTC lawsuit I can only assume that the runaround I have gone through to make a payment is intentional and illegal to increase interest and fees. Their activities have reduced my credit score that will cost me money on insurance and loan rates going forward.
