Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (GA)

I am writing to formally express my deep concern and dissatisfaction with the ongoing challenges I have faced in attempting to remove fraudulent items from my credit report through Experian, XXXX and XXXX Credit Bureaus. Despite my numerous attempts over an extended period, these fraudulent entries persist, adversely affecting my credit standing and causing significant distress. 

The presence of these fraudulent items on my credit report not only poses a direct threat to my financial well-being but also raises serious concerns about the security and accuracy of the credit reporting process. I have attached supporting documentation for each attempt made to rectify this situation. 

I understand the importance of maintaining accurate credit information and the impact it has on my ability to access financial services. Therefore, I request your immediate attention and thorough investigation into the matter to rectify the fraudulent items on my credit report.

Conduct a comprehensive review of my credit report to identify and rectify all fraudulent entries. 

Provide written confirmation once the fraudulent items have been successfully removed. 

Investigate the source of these fraudulent entries to prevent similar incidents in the future. 

I trust that you recognize the urgency of this matter and its potential implications for my financial well-being. Failure to address this issue promptly may compel me to escalate the matter to relevant regulatory authorities and consumer protection agencies. I am asking for your assistance to remove these fraudulent items in my credit file : XXXX XXXX Balance : {$10000.00} XXXX XXXX Balance : {$3600.00} XXXX XXXX Balance : {$5200.00} XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX MO XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX XXXX  XXXX Balance : {$10000.00} XXXX XXXX Balance : {$3600.00} XXXX XXXX Balance : {$5200.00} XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023.

Issue: Charged fees or interest you didn't expect — 
Company: Upstart Holdings, Inc. (MO)

Upstart loan company stated a payoff amount of {$5900.00} and the monthly payment was due on XX/XX/2022. They received payment in full as of XX/XX/2022 but are claiming that the loan was accruing " interest '' and I that I still owe them {$49.00}. 
I paid the amount as of XX/XX/2022 as they assured me there was no other way to get rid of this " interest owed '' They did forward the account to a 3rd party agency in XXXX of 2022. 
I want to report this company due to unethical and predatory practices. 
If a loan payment is due on XX/XX/XXXX ( and they also have a 15 day grace period ) and is paid in full 4 days early- then how is interest still accruing. 
I made XXXX payments to this company at 21.88 % interest rate, paying XXXX in interest alone. {$850.00} of my payments went toward my principal in that 13 months. 
This is very predatory. I paid the loan in full including the {$49.00}, but ask that this company be stopped.

I have been maintaining detailed records of all my correspondence with you. You may have misplaced my letters or have failed to respond to my letter because of an oversight due to the high volume of the requests you receive daily. If this is the case, I'm sure you'll want to handle this matter as soon as possible. For this purpose, I have included a copy of my original request, the dated receipt of your reception of the original letter and a copy of the proof verifying the incorrectness of the credit item you have mistakenly placed on my records.

The following information therefore needs to be DELETED from the report as soon as possible : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account # XXXX Please delete this erroneous item from my credit report as soon as possible. I have not supplied proof under the doctrine of estoppel by silence, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I XXXX Presume that no proof of the alleged Debt, nor therefore any such debt in fact exists.
