Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

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.

XXXX charged three monthly unauthorized charges of {$9.00} from XX/XX/2022 through XX/XX/2022 to my XXXX XXXX account even though I only authorized payment either through my XXXX  XXXX XXXX checking account ( primary ) or my XXXX XXXX XXXX ( secondary ) for online purchases through XXXX ( which was ultimately for an XXXX membership ). This is reflected in XXXX 's own settings, which only note my XXXX  XXXX XXXX checking account and XXXX XXXX account as the authorized forms of payment for XXXX charges. This is further reflected in each of the transaction details for the XXXX, XXXX, and XX/XX/2022 charges, which show the funding details as my XXXX XXXX XXXX checking account or XXXX XXXX account as backup options. Each says " Paid by Bank Account, '' not XXXX XXXX. So either XXXX incorrectly charged my XXXX XXXX Account despite stating in their own records that they charged my Bank Account, or they charged me twice through my XXXX XXXX XXXX Account ( or XXXX XXXX ) and XXXX XXXX. To be clear, I never authorized XXXX payments to be through my XXXX XXXX Account. This is why I was not aware of the three charges pending on the account, and they went past due. Because they were never authorized. I contacted XXXX about this by submitting online disputes and calling them multiple times. Some customer service representatives even acknowledged the mistake, but they insisted I should just wait the 7 years for them to drop from my credit report. I then submitted two credit report disputes that included the payment settings showing I never authorized charged to XXXX XXXX to each of the three credit bureaus, and my disputes were rejected both times. Now, I submit this dispute to you given that XXXX and the three credit reporting agencies never appropriately addressed these fraudulent charges to my XXXX XXXX Account. There never should have been a balance on the account for it to go past due, unpaid, and then closed by XXXX XXXX without my consent.

I have recently discovered that there is unauthorized information in my name being used on my credit reports and would like to file a dispute. This information is unauthorized, and I did not approve it to reflect on my credit reports. I believe I may be a victim of identity theft. I was not alerted to this information being authorized on my reports and I am insisting that they be deleted from my credit report as soon as possible. These items are fraudulent and impacting my relationships with creditors. I have reported the theft of my identity to the Federal Trade Commission 's Identity Theft Affidavit in regard to this incident. In addition, I have attached a PDF document reflecting all items that were found to be unauthorized by any such. Please investigate these matters and remove the disputed items as soon as possible.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NY)

My accounts 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 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 to be removed/updated. 

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. 

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!

The card company declined my card for a week but will not tell me why. It was paid in full, in good standing and way below the credit limit. Every time I call the system recognizes the number I call from and automatically puts me on a 10-15 minute hold to talk to the " Fraud Department ''. That department refuses to discuss my card details with me, in spite of me providing my security word, my zip code, and the last 4 digits of my social security number. I also confirmed that I did not have any other Citibank products.

I disputed to Transunion the payment history information and balances as it was incomplete and inaccurate. The dispute was submitted successfully.

This has caused me serious problems : ( 1 ) I've not been able to fix it, even though XXXX XXXX confirms they have been reporting my payments to Transunion on a monthly basis ; ( 2 ) Transunion says they can not add the account back, even though they deleted the account without my request ; ( 3 ) My credit has been significantly affected as it plunged my credit history to the floor, thus lowering my credit score SIGNIFICANTLY. I have evidence showing ( 1 ) the account exists, it is mine and it was in my Transunion report. ( 2 ) XXXX XXXX has evidence of reporting my information to Transunion, and ( 3 ) that the account has been deleted and never restored since XX/XX/2019. 

I really need this to get solved. It has negatively affected me, lowering my score and limiting my credit options.

" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''
