Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (VA)

Hello, I am writing to dispute the accuracy of my credit report as reported by the credit bureaus. 

Furthermore, my current address is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, VA XXXX, but the credit bureaus have reported multiple incorrect addresses. These addresses include XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX VA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, VA XXXX XXXX 

These inaccuracies are in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Section 607 ( a ) ( 1 ) which requires that consumer reporting agencies and furnishers of information to credit bureaus must ensure that the information they report is accurate and complete. Additionally, Section 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) requires that consumer reporting agencies must conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information upon request by the consumer, and must modify or delete inaccurate information. Furthermore, Section 623 ( b ) requires that consumer reporting agencies must block information that is inaccurate or incomplete from being included in the consumer 's credit report.

Moreover, the inaccuracies in my credit report have had a significant impact on my life. For example, I was recently denied a loan due to the incorrect information in my credit report, which has prevented me from achieving my financial goals. Furthermore, the multiple incorrect addresses have caused confusion and delays in my daily life, such as with receiving mail and packages, and have caused unnecessary stress and frustration.

Therefore, I am requesting that the creditor remove these unverified accounts from my credit report and take all necessary steps to correct the inaccurate information in my credit report. I am also asking for the enforcement of the legal requirements of the FCRA and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), specifically Section 114 which requires that creditors and lenders must truncate credit card and Social Security numbers on any receipts or documents they provide to consumers, in order to prevent identity theft, and Section 315 which requires that creditors and lenders must take reasonable steps to protect their customers ' personal identifying information ( PII ) from identity theft.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

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

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.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (AZ)

The conspicuous lack of concrete evidence substantiating its reliability, coupled with the circulation of unverified information, constitutes a flagrant violation of the statutory provisions outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). Such regulatory non-compliance is not merely disconcerting but also vexing, considering the paramount importance of adherence to legal mandates. Consequently, I emphatically endorse the prompt deletion of this account in alignment with the stipulated regulations, unless credible evidence is promptly furnished to affirm its authenticity. The failure to promptly rectify this matter further compounds the exasperation stemming from the disregard for legal protocols.

Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan
Company: Georgia Student Finance Authority (GA)

Georgia Student Finance has been very unpleasant to work with. I have contacted them MULTIPLE times to work out a payment plan up until the point now where when I call now no one is able to answer the phone and my call drops. The times when I would call and speak to someone the representatives were extremely rude, not cooperative and failed to even take the payment I could afford to pay them. They proceed to tell me they do not accept payment arrangements or skip payments and now every single month, my credit shows up as being 120 days past due. It has been almost 2 years that my credit continues to get impacted as 120 days past due and it is not being charged off or forward to a collections team to be able to work out a payment arrangement. Because of this, I am not able to open a mortgage, purchase a car, or start my business because I am seen as a risk to most lenders. There needs to be a stop to this unfair treatment and an internal & external investigation of their operational process needs to be reviewed as soon as possible because I am sure I am not the only customer that is going through this.

I've learned that the creditor didn't provide the necessary 21-day notice along with a statement, which would have given me enough time to process payments and avoid late fees on these accounts. This mistake has caused a misrepresentation of the payment status, indicating a billing error by the creditor.

The info in my credit reports is wrong, making it hard for me to get new credit. When I apply for credit, the errors confuse lenders and paint the wrong picture of my creditworthiness.
