Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NJ)

Dear XXXX XXXX XXXX, This is to bring to your notice that my credit report shows an inquiry from your company, which I do not understand. As far as I know you are not permitted to inquire about any of my debt amounts without my authorization. 

The presence of such items on my credit report is likely to affect my credit worthiness and hamper my chances of acquiring new credit. Therefore, I request that you remove this inquiry from my credit report immediately. 

Please forward a written document stating that you have accepted my request. 

I am expecting an early response from you.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MA)

am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX for their alleged violation of 15 USC 6802, 16 CFR 313.7, FDCPA 807,808,809, and MGL Chapter 93A section 2. I believe that their actions have infringed upon my rights as a consumer and have caused significant financial and emotional distress. 

I entered into a credit card agreement with XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/22. However, since the inception of this agreement, I have encountered numerous issues that have left me deeply dissatisfied and concerned about their compliance with federal and state regulations. 

Firstly, XXXX XXXX has failed to provide me with clear and concise information regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of my personal information, as required by 15 USC 6802. Despite my repeated requests for a detailed explanation of how my personal information is being handled, they have been evasive and non-responsive. This lack of transparency raises serious concerns about the security and privacy of my personal data. 

Furthermore, I have reason to believe that XXXX XXXX has engaged in unfair and deceptive practices, in violation of 16 CFR 313.7. They have consistently misrepresented the terms and conditions of the credit card agreement, leading to confusion and financial harm on my part. Additionally, their customer service representatives have been unhelpful and dismissive when I have sought clarification or resolution for these issues. 

Moreover, XXXX XXXX has engaged in aggressive debt collection practices, which have caused me significant emotional distressThese actions are not only in violation of federal regulations, such as FDCPA 807,808,809, but also demonstrate a complete disregard for consumer rights and fair debt collection practices. 

Additionally, I believe that XXXX XXXX 's actions may also be in violation of MGL Chapter 93A section 2, which prohibits unfair or deceptive acts or practices in the conduct of any trade or commerce. Their failure to provide accurate and transparent information, as well as their aggressive debt collection practices, may constitute a violation of this state law. 

In light of the aforementioned violations, I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau thoroughly investigate my complaint against XXXX XXXX. I believe that their actions have not only harmed me personally but may also be indicative of a broader pattern of non-compliance with federal and state regulations. 

I would appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter and ensuring that XXXXXXXX XXXX is held accountable for their actions. Please find attached copies of relevant documents, including the correspondence with XXXX XXXX and any other supporting evidence. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt and satisfactory resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

XXXX XXXX Experian To whom it may concern. 
I recently received a copy of my credit report and found that you are illegally reporting inaccurate information about me. The following alleged account is listed as a collection with a PAST DUE balance of {$150.00} with Experian and {$100.00} with XXXX and XXXX. Also XXXX shows a different account number. This is illegally reporting in several ways. Nothing between the XXXX credit bureaus is accurate and match up down to the late payments that should not be reporting on a charged off account because it is already late by default. But you have XXXX reporting a payment XXXX XXXX XXXX then EXPERIAN reporting that same month as a charge off. Then in XX/XX/2023 Experian reports that the account is 150 days late and XXXX reports 120 days late. But again there should be no late payments on a charged off account. I have included the letter from the creditor stating that what they reported is accurate and that any problems after are the fault of the bureaus. I need this removed now. This is a direct violations of my rights and illegal. You are suppose to report 100 % accuracy and this is far from that. 
Account Name XXXX Account # XXXX This is a violation of the FCRA and is also in violation of requisite XXXX XXXX Compliance reporting standards. 
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act I have the right to a fair and accurate credit report, therefore any information that is not true, accurate and verifiable is required to be removed. 
I demand you remove the inaccurate account immediately to avoid further persecution from the CFPB and Federal Trade Commission. Please send me an updated copy of my credit report snowing your compliance with all FCRA and XXXX XXXX Reporting requirements.
