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

I had an account with XXXX. 
( account # XXXX ) on XX/XX/2023 I paid and settled this account. Since this payment was made my credit reports reflected the status of this account as Paid in Settlement. On XX/XX/2023 there was a dispute with this account. After the dispute the status of this account was changed to reflect the status of this account as Charged off which it should not, as this was paid in settlement. This is causing a huge issue for me, as I have mortgage lenders looking at the status of all of my accounts.I reached out to XXXX ( now known as XXXX XXXX ) and spoke with an account manager named XXXX who confirmed that the account is in fact paid in settlement and she does see the payment made, However she stated that they will not update the status of my credit report. She gave no reason as to why they wouldnt accept that they never do it. This is ridiculous and a violation of my consumer rights under the FCRA which states creditors are obligated to report accurate and verifiable information to the credit bureaus.

This is a DEMAND TO COMPLY LETTER with written instruction as it relates to me, the consumer, pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ). Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, it has been established by Congress that your agency 's role is to adopt reasonable procedures to ensure fairness, impartiality, and a respect for my right to privacy for maximum possible accuracy.

Under 15 U.S. Code 1681e et seq, you may not procure or furnish a consumer report without following 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) as my written instructions. There has been a violation of these reasonable procedures because, as I have shown within my attachments, there has been inaccurate and unverifiable information removed from another consumer reporting agency but has not been removed from your system.

You should be aware that your failure to maintain reasonable procedures for maximum possible accuracy has resulted in a conspiracy which deprived me of my right pursuant to the Truth in Lending Act subsection 1602 ( f ) to extend new credit for myself. This deprivation of my rights is a federal criminal violation under 18 U.S. Code 241.

Understand this is NOT a dispute letter as there is nothing to dispute. I am DEMANDING you, the agent, to follow your fiduciary responsibility to me and remove/delete the following information from my consumer file. This has been an egregious failure to follow your very own reasonable procedures required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

However, this account is reported with your agency. This should not exist. You must have joint systems to notify each other of this incorrect information as consumer reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy. This is a violation and failure to maintain your reasonable procedures for maximum possible accuracy and is false and misleading reporting.

I demand this account to be removed from my consumer report by your consumer reporting agency for the federal law violation of failure to maintain your reasonable procedures for maximum possible accuracy and violation for failing to promptly delete that item of information as required for treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) ( A ). 

Account name : XXXX XXXX, opened on XX/XX/2020, with a balance of {$3000.00} Remove this account UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY.

I've learned that the creditor didn't provide the necessary 21-day notice along with a statement, which would have given me enough time to process payments and avoid late fees on these accounts.
