Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MO)

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the handling of my credit report and the multiple, unsuccessful attempts to correct inaccurate information related to late open account, and removal of the charge-offs, and late closed accounts. It has come to my attention that despite repeated efforts, these issues persist on my credit report, adversely affecting my creditworthiness and financial standing. 

On multiple occasions, I have submitted requests to correct inaccuracies related to late open accounts on my credit report. However, these corrections have not been reflected, and the incorrect information remains, impacting my credit score negatively.

I have also noticed inaccuracies regarding charge-offs on my credit report. Despite providing documentation to support the resolution of these accounts, the charge-off status persists, and I have observed no improvement in the reporting. 

Furthermore, attempts to rectify inaccuracies regarding late closed accounts have been unsuccessful. The persistence of this misinformation is not only frustrating but also detrimental to my financial standing. 

I kindly request a thorough and immediate investigation into these matters. Additionally, I expect timely updates on the progress of the investigation, including any actions taken to correct the inaccuracies on my credit report. 

To aid in your investigation, I have attached supporting documentation. I am asking for your assistance to correct these late open account and remove the charge off and late closed in my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} - I see things may be inaccurate. Start looking at the account name, opening date, and high balance. I believe this information may be inaccurate. Immediate removal of this item is necessary. 

XXXX XXXX Balance : {$810.00} - I requested an investigation and the removal of the charge-off status. No changes were made. No investigation was conducted at all. You had optimal time to review this matter and make the appropriate corrections, you elected not to. Please remove this item immediately. 

XXXX XXXX Balance : {$11000.00} - The limit to this account was a fraction of the amount due it as stated. That is utterly unfathomable! Had a proper investigation been conducted you would have seen the error and corrected it immediately. You failed to do your job ; you must now REMOVE THIS ITEM ALTOGETHER. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} - I believe this account is reporting inaccurately. I do not recall ever having a legal obligation with this company nor do I believe one exists. Please provide me with verifiable proof this account belongs to me. I request a signed contract which is the ONLY LEGAL authority that stipulates an agreement. Please remove it.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim ofidentity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation andapply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that theirpolicy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block thereporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information thatresulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agencyof- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) theidentification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that theinformation is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that mysocial security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information wereaffected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as XXXX 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all therequired documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has beenover 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Re : Dispute of Late Payment on Credit Report - Reference : XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX  Loan # XXXX To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute a late payment that has been reported on my credit report, specifically referring to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). This late payment, as reported by XXXX, was allegedly associated with my account with Bank XXXX XXXX Mortgage, and it is having a detrimental impact on my creditworthiness. 

On XX/XX/2023, I diligently mailed my mortgage payment check in the amount of {$1000.00} to Bank XXXX XXXX Mortgage, which was due on XX/XX/2023. The payment was dispatched through the United States Postal Service ( USPS ). On XX/XX/2023, I proactively contacted XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX  to confirm the receipt of my payment. During this conversation, the representative acknowledged that my payment had indeed been received ; however, they failed to mention any processing delays or the length of time it would take for the payment to be reflected on my account. 
My assumption was that, given the confirmation of receipt, the payment would be promptly credited to my account. Moreover, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 's payment instructions explicitly state, " To ensure your payment is credited on the date of receipt ... '' which led me to believe that any delay in processing was not my responsibility but theirs. 

In accordance with the information provided, my check should have reached Bank XXXX XXXX XXXX 's mailbox no later than Saturday, XX/XX/2023. The discrepancy arises from the fact that the 30-day late mark on my credit report was applied due to the payment 's processing date, not its actual receipt. 

In an effort to resolve this matter, I have previously requested documented proof from Bank XXXX XXXX Mortgage regarding the date of receipt of my payment. Regrettably, my request was met with refusal, and they have failed to provide any such evidence. 

By reporting inaccurate credit information, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX appears to be in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which is intended to ensure the accuracy of credit reports. It is apparent that the late payment notation is unfounded and damaging my creditworthiness. This situation has already resulted in tangible financial losses for me. 

In light of these circumstances, I respectfully request that the credit bureau promptly conducts an investigation into this dispute and, if found in my favor, removes the late payment from my credit report. Failure to do so would not only constitute a violation of the FCRA but also prompt me to consider legal action to protect my rights and seek redress for the damages inflicted upon me due to the unprovable, unvalidated, and inaccurate information on my credit report.

I have been requesting that Equifax, XXXX XXXX XXXX allow me to exercise my right to opt-out of sharing my information. According tot he Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 USC 1681 Section 602, it states that there is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality and a respect for the consumer 's right to privacy. I am the consumer and have the right to make sure that my private information isn't shared which is backed by 15 USC 6801 which states that " it is the policy of the congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of this customers ' nonpublic information ''. The financial institutions Equifax, XXXX XXXX XXXX  do not have my consent to furnish this information and for a fact do not have my written consent to do so. 15 USC 1681 section 604 a section 2 states that " In general subject to subjection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates ''. Any and all consent to XXXX XXXX and Equifax whether it be verbal, non-verbal, written, implied, or otherwise is revoked. 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) states that " A financial institution may not disclose non public personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless- the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that non disclosure option. XXXX Equifax and XXXX who are Furnisher of information to credit agencies, never informed me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option. In addition, 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 5 ) states " Except as authorized under subsection ( b ), no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report more than seven years ''. These accounts are adverse items that they are reporting again without my permission which is against the law. 15 US Code 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A states " A person shall not furnish and information relating to a consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has a reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 15 US Code 1681 e states " Every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681 c of this title and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section 1681b of this title. XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax are no maintaining reasonable procedures. Also 12 CFR 1016.7 states that " A consumer may exercise the right to opt out at any time. '' " I am opting out of your reporting services ''.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Ga XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Ga XXXX Dear Equifax, Please be advised that this is my THIRD WRITTEN REQUEST and FINAL WARNING that I fully intend to pursue litigation in accordance with the FCRA to enforce my rights and seek relief and recover all monetary damages that I may be entitled to under Section 616 and Section 617 regarding your continued willful and negligent noncompliance.

Despite my previous 2 written requests, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You stated in your responses to my 2 dispute letters that you have verified that the items listed below are accurate but you failed to send me copies of the documents that you used to verify these accounts as per my request. The fact that you have ignored my request to send me copies of the documents that you used to verify the disputed accounts is evidence that you can not and did not verify any of the disputed accounts like you said you did. Your failure to delete the disputed accounts that you can not verify after two written requests is also evidence of your willful disregard of Federal Law.

When we go to litigation and through the discovery process you will be required to produce these documents along with an affidavit swearing under oath that these are the true and correct documents that you used to verify the disputed accounts. The fact that you don't have any of the said documents in your files is proof that you did not properly verify the accounts within 30 days as required by law and the Court will order you to delete them. 

You say that you have reinvestigated these accounts but you've admitted that all you have done Is parroted information given to you by other sources and shifted the burden back to me to contact the original creditor to verify these accounts which is clearly in violation of 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ).

I also asked you to give me the name of the person in your company who verified the accuracy of these accounts but you ignored this request as well which is another violation of Federal Law and evidence of your willful disregard of the law.

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. '' I request that you do this immediately.

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.

I demand that you delete all of the accounts listed below immediately. Please provide me with a copy of an updated and corrected credit report showing that these items have been deleted.
