I did a {$1.00} credit check on Experian. They then took my credit card and started charging me {$24.00} after 7 days based upon the " small print '' on their website with no opt out. 

They are a fraud mongering company. Terrible for a credit check company that then defrauds you. Not even any benefit. 

I got into this mess because of the XXXX breach and placing credit freezes. Experian makes you give them your credit card info to " sign up '' for your free account ... for 7 days ; then they start soaking you. 

They should be recognized as fraudulent, and forced to change their methods. Looking online, I see I'm one of many who believe they've been duped by this " free account '' scam. 

This started in XX/XX/2017, and only now am I realizing it. This, because I had to unlock the freeze, again had to put my card in, and they started charging me again on this new card.

Because it is canceled/charged off, this is now considered a certificate of indebtedness per the IRS Publication . The IRS Clearly defines a charge off/cancelled debt as Gross or Ordinary income, and INCOME DOES NOT GET REPORTED ON A CONSUMER REPORT which in fact makes the reporting of this information inaccurate. I provided a screenshot from the IRS website for further evidence. 

As your company know it is against the law to report any information not proven accurate. I demand that you provide me with concrete evidence of my obligation to said account.

On XXXX XXXX I wrote to you requesting an investigation into items that I believed were 
inaccurate, and falsely reporting. To this date only response that I have received was computergenerated letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your 
opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a 
stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I 
believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.
I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint 
with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.
I further remind you that, as in White v. Experian Information Solutions, 993 F. Supp. 2d 1154 - Dist. 
Court, (CD California XXXX); you may be liable for violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) by 
recklessly failing to follow reasonable procedures to ensure the accurate reporting of debts discharged 
in bankruptcy and by refusing to adequately investigate consumer disputes regarding the status of 
discharged accounts.
I request this under 15 U.S. Code  1692g - Validation of debts. If information is not provided or the 
false reporting isnt removed; as in Wenger v. Trans Union Corp., No. 95-6445 (C.D.Cal. XXXX XXXXXXXX), 
you may be liable for your willful non-compliance. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 
100% accurate credit information. Every step must be taken to assure the information reported is 
completely accurate and correct. The following information therefore needs to be reinvestigated

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX New Jersey XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2024 Experian Consumer Assistance XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX [ Your Experian Report Number ] Subject : Notice of Intent to Sue for Violation of FCRA Rights Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the persistent factual inaccuracies present on my consumer file, despite the completion of the initial investigation, as mandated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). As a consumer, I am protected by various consumer laws, including the FCRA, which stipulates that consumer reporting agencies must ensure the accuracy of the information contained in consumer reports. 

It has come to my attention that despite my previous efforts to dispute and rectify the inaccuracies on my Experian credit report, the errors persist. These inaccuracies have caused significant hardship and have had a detrimental impact on my financial standing and overall well-being. The inaccuracies have resulted in me being denied automobile loans, higher interest rates, inability to to secure housing, higher automobile insurance, denied personal loans etc. 

The FCRA obligates consumer reporting agencies, such as Experian, to conduct a reasonable investigation into disputed items on consumer reports and to correct any inaccuracies promptly. However, despite my efforts to provide evidence and documentation supporting the inaccuracies in question, Experian has failed to fulfill its obligations under the FCRA. 

Therefore, I am providing this formal notice of my intent to pursue legal action against Experian for its violation of my FCRA rights. If Experian does not take immedate action to rectify the inaccuracies on my consumer file and provide me with a corrected credit report within 15 days ( because I have been disputing these accounts for two years, and I have your responses stating you verified these accounts ), I will have no choice but to seek legal recourse to enforce my rights under the FCRA. 

Please be advised that I am prepared to pursue all available remedies under the FCRA, including but not limited to statutory damages, actual damages, attorney 's fees, and injunctive relief. I urge Experian to take this matter seriously and to take immediate steps to rectify the inaccuracies on my consumer file. 

I expect a prompt response to this notice and a resolution of this matter within the specified timeframe. Failure to do so will leave me with no alternative but to pursue legal action to protect my rights under the FCRA. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX : Consumer Financial Protection Bureau My Attorney 's Name, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX  )
