Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (DE)

According to the FCRA, income should not be reported on a consumer credit report. However, I have discovered that both XXXX and Experian have erroneously included a canceled debt as income on my credit report. As per the guidelines set forth by the Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ), a canceled debt should be reported as income. I have attached a copy of the 1099B form that clearly states this and serves as proof that the canceled debt is considered income under the IRS guidelines. EXPERIAN AND XXXX are reporting XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 
I have made multiple attempts to have this inaccurate information corrected by contacting both XXXX and Experian directly. I requested proper validation and what method they used to validate. However, despite providing them with the necessary documentation and following their dispute procedures, I have not seen any resolution or correction on my credit report. 
I kindly request the assistance of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in this matter. I believe that XXXX and Experian 's actions are in violation of the FCRA, specifically regarding the reporting of income on a consumer credit report. I would greatly appreciate it if the CFPB could investigate this case and take appropriate action to rectify the situation. 
attached is my photo ID and a copy of the 1099B form that clearly indicates the canceled debt should be considered income and not reported on a consumer credit report. 
I look forward to your prompt attention to this matter and hope for a resolution that aligns with the FCRA guidelines. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

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 XXXX with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

This debt collector engaged in abusive, deceptive and unfair practices of the FDCPA which prohibits. They furnish this account that we didnt agree upon and I didn't sign an agreement on. A legal contract is signed by two parties and I did not participate in any of it, more so they didnt follow the proper 5 step validation procedure which makes this unfair practices. According to FDCPA Im entitled to {$1000.00} per violation and clearly they violated my rights. 

I am not liable for this debt and do not have a contract with them. They have not provided me with any of the documents I continuously ask for.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (IN)

I received an alert that a collection was placed on my credit file. Once I looked on there I notice a collection was placed with XXXX XXXX XXXX on Experian credit file. I have no acknowledgement of this debt or understand how it just appeared out of nowhere on my report, so I disputed it. Additionally, I never received a validation letter or any communication from the credit buyer through any other means. This was all stated in the dispute with the Experian, but miraculously the dispute came back as verified the as correct information. I don't know how that is possible when the credit buyer never sent out the notices required by law! This Company has done this is the past, and will now try and use the credit reporting agencies ( CRA ) and CFPB as middle men to try and pass validation/verification letters and other correspond through in hopes of it qualifying as their communication for FCRA purposes, instead of sending it via certified mail like the regulation requires. I would really like to know what Experian relied on to verify this account since there is nothing even showing the acct. was verified unless it was forged.

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.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

In the summer of XXXX I received a late night message that my Experian credit rating had went down. Upon checking my credit report the following morning I found a collection on my Experian credit report from a company named " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' that I owe them a " Balance {$1000.00} '' Balance with a " Balance updated XX/XX/XXXX '' and having unexplained " Account number '' of " XXXX '' opened in XX/XX/XXXX. 

I opened no such account and made no such arrangements of any kind. I've now been given the run around for the past four years and the credit reporting agencies will not appropriately investigate and provide the details of me having opened an account or made payment arrangements. It would appear the collection stems from an account they have no records for which is far beyond the statute of limitations for collections. I have since sent letters to all three major credit reporting agencies which included the following statement : Please adhere to the attached Consumer Financial Protection Bureau CFPB order to XXXX XXXX XXXX in the following document - https : //files.consumerfinance.gov/XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding the file include : Account type - Debt Buyer Seller : XXXX XXXX Acquired On : XX/XX/XXXX Account Open Date : XX/XX/XXXX ( I opened no accounts at all that year ) Status - Collection account. {$1000.00} past due as of XX/XX/XXXX.

YOU ARE IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF THE FCRA, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditors documentation on file to verify that this information is mine and is correct. In the results of your investigations, you stated in writing that you verified that these items are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified.

Its very obvious that your agency doesnt know what the FCRA is because from the looks of my credit report and all the errors i see you are disregarding it so heres my breakdown.

1.The Fair Credit Reporting Act is the primary federal law that governs the collection and reporting of credit information about consumers. Its rules cover how a consumer 's credit information is obtained, how long it is kept, and how it is shared with othersincluding consumers themselves.

2. What is a FCRA violation?

Creditors give reporting agencies inaccurate financial information about you. Reporting agencies mixing up one person 's information with another 's because of similar ( or same ) last name or social security number.

Agencies fail to follow guidelines for handling disputes.

3. My rights under the fair credit reporting act Verify the accuracy of my report when it is required for employment purposes.Receive notification if information in my file has been used against me in applying for credit or other transactions. Disputeand have the bureaus correct and deleteinformation in my report that is incomplete, inaccurate, and unverifiable. 
Remove outdated, negative information ( after seven years in most cases, 10 in the case of bankruptcy ).

I demand these items be deleted immediately. I entered the items and the outcome I desire below because you are in violation and these items are not 100 % accurate and they are either INACCURATE, Unverifiable and Invalidated.. i recently applied for extended credit and was denied i am in distress because of your mistakes.

The law is very clear as to the Civil liability and the remedy available to me ( Section 616 & 617 ) if you fail to comply with Federal Law. I am a litigious consumer and fully intend on pursuing litigation in this matter to enforce my rights under the FCRA.
