Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

Ive noticed that several deviations from mandatory reporting standards therefore the data in my report can not be accurate and complete! With that said, I deny your allegations and I challenge you to provide proof that you have the right to report this incomplete negative information on my credit report. 

Per 15 U.S.C 1681e Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. 

According to 12 CFR Part 1022 ( Regulation V ) requires furnishers to : Furnish information concerning accounts or other relationships with a consumer that has integrity. 
Furnish information about accounts or other relationships with a consumer that is accurate. 
C - Conduct reasonable investigations of consumer disputes According to XXXX, in order to make a lawful report, you must follow the Metro 2 compliance standards. 

Also as stated in the XXXX Any Deviation From These Standards Jeopardizes The Integrity of The Data. This means that any mistakes in reporting claims can make the information less accurate and it affects the accuracy of any federally regulated reports. 

Therefore, I am invoking my rights to challenge these inaccurate and non-compliant items. Neglecting my demand will only prove that you DO NOT care about my rights as a consumer. Its NOT FAIR for you to report information that isnt confirmed to be ethical and meets the standards of certified reporting. Again, I am challenging these claims and asking for proof of the proper reporting standards. 

You are violating my rights! I have listed the concerns about your reporting in this document. It's not complete and does not meet my standards according to law, you must certify all aspects of required FCRA/ Metro 2 compliance which is done truthfully, correctly ( in a timely manner ), completely AND accurately as well - or else I would have to escalate these issues to the CFPB XXXX FTC and my Attorney General.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a XXXX  ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (GA)

I originally submitted a dispute with Experian based on an inaccurate balance in a credit report requested on XXXX XXXX XXXX (attached as Experian Report XXXX XXXX). On page 49 of this report, my total balance for one of my student loans with XXXX was displaying as XXXX with a balance update date of XXXX This amount was incorrect because I made a payment bringing my balance down on XXXX which was not being reflected by Experian while it was being reflected by XXXX (proof of payment attached as MHEC Payment XXXX). As of XXXX, my XXXX balance on this loan sequence became XXXX. I have a letter confirming this from XXXX (attached as XXXX XXXX - Copy of XXXX  letter.pdf). I filed a dispute Report XXXX with Experian because of this discrepancy. Upon completion of the investigation, Experian correctly updated the balance of the loan sequence to XXXX on page 49 of my updated credit report (attached as Experian Report XXXX). At the same time however, they added a comment on page 51 stating "Completed investigation of FCRA dispute - consumer disagrees." Based upon my Internet research, this appears to be a comment used when a customer disputes the reinvestigation of a dispute that is not in their outcome. This was never the case in this situation. As such, I believe the incorrect comment/compliance code was used in this situation and, unless correctly updated, is potentially disparaging of my character. On XXXX at approx. XXXX ET, I spoke via phone with XXXX  from Experian. During the call, XXXX mentioned that the comment originated from XXXX and there wasn't anything Experian could do about it. He also mentioned that there is additional information in my credit report that I am unable to see as a consumer. I immediately followed up with XXXX XXXX, and spoke with XXXX (employee ID XXXX) at approx. XXXX  ET. XXXX  mentioned that she could not see any correspondence regarding my account since XXXX XXXX XXXX and that the last action on my account was the payment I made on XXXX XXXX XXXX. She mentioned that there was no record of submitting the comment/compliance code in question to Experian. She mentioned that there was nothing more XXXX XXXX could do and I would need to resolve this with Experian. I also inquired whether XXXX  would be able to assist as my account transferred on XXXX, but I have been unable to reach XXXX successfully due to systems not having my account information or excessive wait times to speak with a representative.

I have been having a problem with a financial services provider since XXXX ... Contacted them multiple times, filed with CFPB, and filed with Experian. NONE or them will correct the inaccuracy. Under FCRA, the function of a credit repository is to insure the " accuracy and completeness, '' per Experian 's OWN information they've now sent me XXXX ( XXXX ) times ( copy attached ). However, they will NOT enforce the " completeness '' portion regarding XXXX XXXX XXXX DESPITE the fact I have provided them documentation MULTIPLE times. They repeatedly response that the creditor ( XXXX  ) has verified the info is correct. Yes, the one " good '' line ( loan ) is, and the XXXX ( XXXX ) delinquent loans XXXX is reporting are accurate. HOWEVER, despite the fact I provided loan numbers AND documentation, Experian apparently does NOT want to upset a " dues-paying member '' ( i.e. XXXX  ) by forcing them to report COMPLETELY, so they just continue reporting that XXXX  " verified '' ( lied about ) the accuracy ... What about the COMPLETENESS of their reporting tho, the other XXXX " good '' loans that are missing, no credit for my XXXX score??? I then sent them ( Experian ) a XXXX page letter ( copy attached ), which they received last Thursday, XX/XX/year> ( verified ). However, they have NOT only again refused to update their records to reflect COMPLETE information, they have ALSO NOT included my XXXX personal statement ( within the XXXX word limitation allowed under FCRA ). I am confident it is not included in my report because I have called them out in my statement as being complicit ( with XXXX ) by not requiring completeness. IF they are not going to report COMPLETELY, I at least want my personal statement I submitted included as part of my report, and as I am allowed to submit under FCRA, and as ( I believe ) they are REQUIRED to include as part of my report.
