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. (SC)

On Tuesday XXXX XXXX I called Experian to start a dispute regarding the highly inaccurate reporting of utilization rate on my credit card accounts. An Escalation Ticket # XXXX was made. On XXXX XXXX I received an email from Experian explaining how they calculated the inaccurate utilization rate of 395 % .Experian did not address the inaccuracy of their reporting on my consumer report. The explanation they provided was information that I have access to on their website already. They are reporting {$760.00} of {$1100.00} credit limit and a total balance of {$4500.00} with a utilization rate of 395 %! This is obviously wrong because the other credit reporting agency that these same accounts report to ( XXXX ) is reporting the utilization rate correctly. I have attached the screenshots of my XXXX and Experian consumer reports to show the errors that Experian is posting on my consumer report. This egregious error is causing adverse action to my credit worthiness as a consumer. Experian accurately reported the closure of 3 of the 6 credit card accounts at my request. However, Experian is applying the overall utilization rate of 6 cards onto 3 the open card accounts.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NV)

I paid my mortgage off several years ago. Just recently I tried to obtain a HELOC for home improvements. I was denied because my credit shows I was late on several mortgage payments. I found out that the mortgage company didnt know I paid the mortgage off and thought I wasnt paying on the loan. They were in the process of changing mortgage companies. 
I have in the past, over 7 years, been late on that mortgage in order to get a lower rate. I was told to miss the payments and they could refinance if it showed I needed help with my payments. This was during the housing crisis. Stupidly I did that but was told it would never show upon my credit report. Now I owe nothing on this loan. It is paid in full but I can no get any home equity loan.

I have attached a letter from the XXXX BANKRUPTCY XXXX XXXX XXXX OF GEORGIA. Verifying and stating that they do not furnish information over to the credit bereaus or any credit monitoring service nor do they verify or validate any information concerning bankruptcies. 
XXXX, Experian, and XXXX are falsely stating this information on my credit report and have yet to remove it from my credit report. 

I contacted the court, and their response is enclosed. 
It is clear they do not report to any Credit Bureau for that matter ; therefore, their initial response verifying the item with the court was either an error or a lie. 
Either way, the reporting requirements do not comply with FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681I ), and the information must be deleted immediate

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( Experian )XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ), and Account # XXXX ( XXXX ) blatantly infringe upon federal regulations, as stipulated by multiple statutes. 

Primarily, 15 USC 1681a mandates precise consumer information reporting. In this instance, the reported accounts fail to meet this standard, constituting a clear violation. Furthermore, the absence of a clear and conspicuous opt-out mechanism, mandated by 16 CFR 313, points to non-compliance, reinforcing the violation claim.

Additionally, violations of 15 USC 6802 and 15 USC 6803 are glaring due to the absence of clear consent for information sharing, directly violating privacy standards. The violation of 15 USC 1681b underscores a failure to adhere to permissible purpose requirements, further supporting the factual claims.

Moreover, the reported accounts allegedly breach IRS Pub 4681 and 5 USC 5528, as dis
charged debt is purportedly not reported as income, infringing upon tax and disclosure obligations. These violations encompass not only the illegal reporting of transactions but also the sharing of consumer non-public information with non-affiliates, actions explicitly deemed unlawful.

The solid foundation for these claims is deeply rooted in the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681a, 15 USC 1681b ), Code of Federal Regulations ( 16 CFR 313 ), and pertinent statutes ( 15 USC 6802, 15 USC 6803, IRS Pub 4681, and 5 USC 5528 ). These factual assertions demand immediate corrective action, including account rectification and compliance with the stipulated laws. Failure to address these violations may lead to legal consequences, as substantiated by the extensive legal framework governing such matters.

Account # XXXX is in violation of multiple regulations. Firstly, under 15 USC 1681a, it fails to provide accurate consumer information. Additionally, by not adhering to 16 CFR 313, the account neglects required procedures for opting out of information sharing. Moreover, the absence of clear consent breaches 15 USC 6802 and 15 USC 6803, violating privacy and consent standards. Furthermore, non-compliance with 15 USC 1681b is noted, indicating failure to uphold permissible purpose requirements. The account also runs afoul of IRS Pub 4681 and 5 USC 5528 by not reporting discharged debt as income, violating tax and disclosure obligations. These violations include the illegal reporting of transactions and sharing consumer non-public information with non-affiliates. Immediate corrective action is necessary to rectify these breaches.
