Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NY)

On XXXX XXXX XXXX, I wrote to you requesting an investigation into items that I believed were fraud, 
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 have requested that all NON CREDITORS, COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT COLLECTORS provide proof 
of alleged items. I request to be provided with specifically the original application, contract, note, or 
another instrument bearing my signature.
In addition, any the contract signed between NON CREDITORS, COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT 
COLLECTORS & the original creditor, notarized and sworn under penalty and perjury NON CREDITORS, 
COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT COLLECTORS ability to collect this alleged debt.
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.CalXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, 
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.

Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX  is deliberately circumventing sending me proof of accuracy that I keep reporting incorrect on my credit report. This incorrect information is ruining my creditability. After sending certified mail to each of these credit bureaus addressing my complaint and asking for disclosure documents of each said debt and whom each bureau contacted for this information being reported as correct. In reply, XXXX  and Equifax mailed me a letter stating that they can't find a credit profile on my name and to send more verification to better assist me. I sent all the proper information and identification with my certified letter so I don't understand why they can't find a file on my name, especially when someone is reporting to my credit every month.
