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

I noticed an unauthorized inquiry on my credit report and contacted Experian by phone. I inquired about the inaccurate posting of the inquiry on my credit and asked them to remove it. I was told that since I did not authorize it, I would have to fill out an FTC report, send it to Experian and then they would remove it from my credit report.

I followed the instructions by filling out the FTC report as well as an Identity Theft Victim Complaint and Affidavit and sent it to Experian certified mail. I also added a change of personal information letter with it, to specify how my personal information is supposed to be accurately reflecting. 

Though I was expecting a response by postal mail, Experian contacted me by email almost two weeks later with a link to view the results of the investigation. I went there, and much to my surprise they did not remove the inquiry. As a matter of fact, they added an additional address to my credit report which is inaccurate. 

I called back to Experian about the matter at this number ( XXXX ) to speak to the fraud department three different times about this unauthorized inquiry. However, it was an automated system and I was only given two options, to get a security freeze/fraud alert or order my credit report. Neither option was giving me access to the help I needed. 

I then proceeded to call Experian at their other number ( XXXX ), and after navigating through a myriad of options that did not pertain to my need to speak with the fraud department, I was able to finally speak with someone. I asked to be forwarded to the fraud department but consecutively on three different occasions I was told I was being transferred to the fraud department, but was disconnected. I called back one more different times and spoke to Experian agents before realizing that I was not going to be allowed to be speak to the fraud department. 

What recourse do you have when the company have made it so difficult or will not even allow you to speak with them to discuss the inaccurate information on your credit report? What recourse is it when you follow the laws of the FCRA and comply with the credit bureaus and they still do the opposite of what they agreed to do? 

How did they even verify that it was accurate when it is complete false and not my account. They are not respecting or honoring the FCRA, the FTC report, the Theft Victim 's Complaint and Affidavit or my rights.

According to the FCRA 605B ss ( 15 U.S.C. ss 1681c-2 ), it is illegal to report any information on my credit report without my permission especially if that information is inaccurate. After countless phone calls and online disputes you continue to report a Non-mailable address, which makes my profile more susceptible to identify theft. I have no connection to that address. I can not receive mail nor can I be contacted there. I will request one more time that you delete that address from my Experian consumer report, I have one address. The inaccurate, non-mailable address is attached.

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 60 days 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!

I wish to dispute the presence of unauthorized accounts on my credit report, as indicated by your bureau. Upon meticulous scrutiny of my credit report, I have determined that these accounts are the results of identity theft. I initiated to contact with the company associated with these accounts, and they assured me that it would be removed from their records. I am aware that other credit bureaus have already removed these fraudulent accounts from their records. This discrepancy raises significant concerns regarding the accuracy and timeliness of your bureau 's reporting practices. Despite my proactive measures to address this issue, the accounts continue to be reported on my credit report by your bureau. In support of my claim, I have lodged a formal complaint with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) and have provided the bank with documentation demonstrating the fraudulent nature of these accounts. I respectfully request that you conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and remove the fraudulent accounts from my credit report.

This is hurting my chances at getting a mortgage and caused a lot of financial harm to me. I need these fraudulent accounts removed ASAP.

I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove any items which is found to be fraud due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Please remove these items.

I am continually being called on the telephone by this agency over an alleged debt. I am requesting validation of this debt. This account has been reporting inaccurately. I wanted to dispute this account because of this and it was affecting my credit report. I am having problems with this unfair treatment. I am sure that I settled this account before because it was not mine. This account was taken care of with the original creditor and promised me to update it out of my report. Therefore, this account is unverifiable. This is an error that you need to look into, so please do your investigation on this and remove or delete this account from my credit report.

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.
