Consumer complaint received 2023-11-11
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (IN)

I am writing to bring to your attention a serious matter regarding the inaccurate reporting on my credit file by Experian, and to formally dispute the information contained in my credit report. This notice is in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which grants consumers the right to dispute inaccurate information and mandates that credit reporting agencies promptly investigate such disputes. 

I have made multiple attempts to rectify the inaccuracies on my credit report by submitting disputes and complaints through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). Unfortunately, despite my efforts, Experian continues to verify and report inaccurate information concerning my XXXX account. 

XXXX of the major discrepancies is in the reported account opening date of XX/XX/XXXX, which contradicts the information provided and verified by XXXX themselves of XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX has explicitly stated that they have no record of a contract or electronic signature associated with the opening of this account. This inconsistency raises serious concerns about the accuracy and legitimacy of the reported information. 

Furthermore, Experian has verified an incorrect Account Open reporting date on multiple occasions, a clear violation of my rights under the FCRA. Additionally, the date last verified is not provided in my credit report, despite my receiving responses verifying the information through the CFPB on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. This failure to provide accurate and up-to-date information is also a violation of my rights. 

Below is the response from XXXX regarding the inaccuracies in question from a CFPB complaint along with a screenshot of my credit report and how the account is reporting. There are clear violations.
