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

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Also, I was never disclosed of ALL three of my Opt-Out disclosures which states a financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party under 15 U.S. Code 6802 unless all three disclosures were satisfied but they were not.

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: ARC Management Group, LLC (FL)

On XX/XX/XXXX I was notified by XXXX that a collections account had been placed on my report. The collections company was listed as ARC Management Group LLC and the creditor information was listed as XXXX purchased business ( see attached ). It states that this is a medical creditor but does not include any contact details regarding the creditor. I immediately disputed this information with XXXX as I had NEVER received ANY communication from ARC Management Group and am unaware of any outstanding medical bills. XXXX responded to my dispute by stating that the information was 'verified as accurate and updated ( see attached ). I called XXXX to request a copy of the information that was submitted to them as proof to verify the debt as accurate and the operator was unable to offer any information other than letting me know I should contact ARC Management Group directly at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, GA XXXX ( see notes from XXXX ) XXXX I sent a certified letter to ARC on XX/XX/XXXX requesting verification of the debt. I also tried calling them at the number given to me by XXXX and was not able to speak with a live operator. The letter requesting additional information ( copy attached ) was delivered to the front desk receptionist and signed for at XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX ( see attached delivery confirmation ). As of today 's date ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I have yet to receive ANY response to my letter or communication. However, on XX/XX/XXXX, I received the original letter back in the mail marked 'Return to Sender ' ( see attached photo ). So, after having the letter in their possession for over a month, they not only failed to contact me regarding my request for debt validation, they decided to reseal the letter and return it to me as if it had never been in their possession. This company is very obviously not afraid to lie and commit fraud. ARC Management Group LLC never sent me a notice of debt prior to reporting to the credit bureau and has falsely returned my letter as if they never received it rather than send me the proper notice of debt and documentation regarding the validity of this collections account on my credit agency report ( XXXX ).

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding inaccurate information on my credit report, specifically about two 30-day late payments from XXXX. I am reaching out to request assistance in rectifying this matter. On XX/XX/2024, at XXXX XXXX I received communication from a supervisor at XXXX, XXXX, confirming that Case ID Number : XXXX regarding a credit reporting dispute was being forwarded to the relevant team to be removed. It has come to my attention that these late payments were inaccurately reported and were, in fact, errors on XXXX 's end. Despite my request to have my card added to automatic payments, this was not processed as per the recorded conversations available. I have communicated with XXXX 's customer care team, including the supervisor mentioned above, who assured me that they would address this issue promptly. However, I am still seeing these erroneous late payments reflected on my credit report, which adversely impacts my credit score. 

I request your assistance in utilizing the provisions outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to rectify this situation promptly. The inaccurate reporting of these late payments is detrimental to my creditworthiness and financial standing. I firmly believe that the evidence available, including recorded conversations with XXXX representatives, will substantiate my claim and warrant the immediate removal of these inaccuracies from my credit report. I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter thoroughly and take the necessary steps to ensure the accurate reporting of my credit history. I am prepared to provide any additional information or documentation required to support my case. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to a resolution that upholds the accuracy and integrity of my credit report. Thank you for your assistance in this regard.

I wish to underscore that the inclusion of inaccurately reported late payment remarks on my accounts not only raises significant concerns but also represents a blatant violation of the regulations delineated in the 15 USC 1666. This statute, an integral component of the Fair Credit Billing Act, specifically aims to safeguard consumers against unjust billing practices and mandates the accurate reporting of payment histories. Each payment associated with these accounts has been diligently and promptly rendered within the specified timeframes. Therefore, any deviation from this precise reporting not only undermines my financial integrity but also contravenes the legal protections enshrined within this statute. It is imperative to promptly rectify this situation to ensure compliance with the law and uphold the rights of consumers.

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the company has violated my rights. Under 15 U.S.Code 1681 section 602 states I have a right to privacy. Also, under 15 U.S.Code 1681 section 604-2, a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions. Without my consent, it means identity theft. As you may know, according to 15 U.S.Code 1666b a creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open-end consumer credit plan as late for ANY PURPOSE. Continuing to furnish such information is a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and all parties involved will be held liable for this misconduct. Failing to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act results in immediate deletion of the disputed information.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (OR)

My business email was hacked and they had access to all my business and personal information. They then created a fraudulent bank account at Chase under my name. Using my email system ( XXXX  XXXX ), they were able to convince my business accountant to ACH transfer from our bank account ( XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) {$80000.00} to Chase under my name as : " XXXX XXXX - Chase ''. 

Chase has been un-responsive in taking action against this identity theft and fraud. Their position is that ACH transfer is automatic and it is not necessary to tie the name of the account to the transfer. Of course, the transferred money is gone.
