Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (OH)

While reviewing my credit report recently, I noticed discrepancies in the reporting of an account. Surprisingly, one payment was marked as late on an account that I diligently paid on time. It's imperative that consumer reporting agencies maintain accurate records. I can affirm that this account has consistently been punctual with payments. Enclosed is a copy of my report with the date in question : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> - Inaccurate late payment Date I respectfully request your immediate investigation into this matter and urge for the prompt correction of these inaccuracies. This payment was paid on time and should be updated to reflect as such - paid on time/never late. Your attention to this issue is greatly appreciated.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

This is a formal complain against all 3 credit bureaus - XXXX, Experian, XXXX. It all started with my identity was stolen and used to create a credit card account with XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. I learned about the existence of the account when I received a bill in XX/XX/XXXX. I immediately reported fraud to XXXX XXXX, who then closed the account while doing their investigation. I then asked and confirmed that the account was closed in XXXX XXXX. Because I continue to receive a bill from XXXX 's into XX/XX/XXXX despite being told that the account is closed, I filed an Identity Theft report from FTC in early XXXX and mailed the letter and report to all 3 credit agencies. When I applied to a mortgage lender for loan, a credit pull in mid XXXX resulted in my credit score dropped by XXXX points. All 3 credit agencies reported that the derogatory remark was because of the outstanding, +90 days past-due balance from XXXX 's XXXX despite I have placed an fraud alert and reported it to them. I have since filed a Police Report and submitted it to XXXX XXXX again , who claimed that they are doing yet another investigation for another 50 days. No credit agencies acknowledge this account is under investigation but " customer closed the account ''. At the end of XX/XX/XXXX, I physically went to XXXX XXXX to pay the balance and prepare to file a dispute in small claims court. Credit agencies bare no responsibilities but ruin my life despite me being a victim of identity theft and did my due diligence to ensure that I did my part to make this as transparent and as fair as I can. As far as I can tell, paying for an outstanding balance created by a perpetrator is not fair, nor do I suffer XXXX points deduction in my credit score. This is literally no way to recover from this nonsense against corporate bullies. FTC identity theft report, police report, evidence, history of credit -- none of those things matter.

After reviewing my credit profile on XX/XX/XXXX I identified a discrepancy with account listed under CMRE. I  requested a validation on XX/XX/XXXX as there was an account listed that I did not recognize as I have always had insurance that fully covers my medical. On XX/XX/XXXX I reviewed my credit profile again as CMRE had not responded and the account was still reflecting as not disputed. Therefore a 2nd validation request for the account was sent out on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX Credit report was reviewed again on XX/XX/XXXX and the account is still reflecting on my report and I do not believe the account belongs to me nor that the creditor has authorization to legally access my medical records and to attempt to collect on this account and these accounts continue to negatively affect me. Please strike and remove this account from all 3 credit bureaus until adequate validation has been received proving that this account belong to me and that all information is correct.

I am writing to lodge a formal complaint regarding the recent investigation results provided by Experian. Upon reviewing the findings, I have identified several discrepancies and failures to adequately investigate and re-investigate inaccuracies and errors in my credit report. 

As such, I demand immediate action in accordance with my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically violations of 15 USC 1681 ( 5 ), 15 USC 1681 ( 7 ), 15 USC 1681e ( b ), and 15 USC 1681s-2.

First and foremost, I have serious concerns regarding the veracity of the investigation process. Despite claims of re-investigation, key questions remain unanswered. What specific updates or modifications were made to my accounts? Were they genuinely re-investigated, and if so, why do significant disparities persist, such as discrepancies in open dates and last activity dates compared to other credit bureaus? 

Furthermore, I have identified several accounts that continue to contain inaccuracies despite the purported investigation. Therefore, in accordance with my rights under the FCRA, I demand the immediate deletion of the following accounts from my credit report : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX - Delete this account from my credit report due to violations of 15 USC 1681 ( 5 ), 15 USC 1681 ( 7 ), 15 USC 1681e ( b ), and 15 USC 1681s- XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX - Delete this account from my credit report due to violations of 15 USC 1681 ( 5 ), 15 USC 1681 ( 7 ), 15 USC 1681e ( b ), and 15 USC 1681sXXXX XXXX.

I am filing a formal complaint against Lightstream for violations of 15 USC 1681b, which pertains to permissible purposes under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), as well as violations of the Privacy Act of 1974.

The specific details of the violation are as follows : Violation of 15 USC 1681b ( Permissible Purposes ) : Unauthorized Sharing of Personal Information Lightstream, without a valid permissible purpose, shared my personal information with XXXX.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (WI)

I am attempting to obtain a mortgage loan. The bank requested my credit scores from all three credit agencies XX/XX/2024. Only XXXX posted my scores. I assumed my freeze on the acct was to blame so I unfroze everything for approx 7 days. ( twice actually ) During this time a credit check was made, and again even though the accts were unfrozen they did not provide any score. I have had auto loans and a long credit life however they came back with a statement about me having no credit history-that is a lie. XXXX had a score reported for me on XX/XX/2024 of XXXX, and the others are hiding my score, they want money to access my credit, and will not report my scores to authorized people I had pull my score. I have all freezes lifted permanently now. 
XXXX is blocking me from accessing the website, they say I have to call, I do and get a phone tree with no resolution. I am still unable to access my account after several calls. Again, the XXXX are not reporting my correct credit either, they claim I have none despite a long auto loan. 
I believe that XXXX and Experian companies are extorting people for money to have their credit scores accessed. XXXX XXXX has scores up, but no one will use them.
