Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Public record information inaccurate
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (AL)

On XX/XX/XXXX, experian sent me an alert that my score had increased to XXXX. I went and applied for an auto loan in XX/XX/XXXX, and was denied by every company. In the denial letter, the creditors stated that they pulled my score from Experian, and the score was XXXX. That is a drastic difference. Almost XXXX points. They never showed me my score as XXXX anything. Even currently, my score is XXXX. This is fraud and a breach of contract. My current membership with experian requires them to send accurate information and they sent inaccurate information and a bad score. If my score and information was updated and correct, I wouldnt have gotten denied by multiple companies on multiple occasions. ( I only kept the letters from 1 ). This is not okay. Experian is using deception that hinders consumers and helps companies.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NJ)

I recently reviewed my credit profile and noticed inaccuracies and false accusations and fraudulent accounts. I am formally requesting that these matters be investigated properly and immediately. The account information listed directly below is inaccurate, and I dispute the validity of each. As per the FCRA you must delete all entries to my credit file that can not be proven to be accurate. Likewise, you must provide me with your Method of Verification. You are a partial owner of the E-OSCAR system, which has proven to be unreliable for the intended purpose of my dispute and does not constitute the legally required independent investigation that you must conduct.

For clarity, the sections of the Fair Credit Reporting Act of 1970 which are referenced within this letter are : Section 604, Section 609, Section 611, and Section 623. I will assume that by the very nature of your business, I do not need to provide definitions of what is covered under each of these sections individually.

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Non-sufficient funds and associated fees
Company: BREMER BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (MN)

I have a checking account through Bremer Bank. My local branch is in XXXX, Minnesota. I was charged XXXX separate overdraft fees for non-sufficient funds in the amount of {$35.00} each on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and XXXX/XXXX/XXXX despite the fact I made every attempt to get the monies into the account before midnight each day it was overdrawn. I submitted a request to the bank to overturn these fees due to the fact that I was advised in XXXX XXXX by the XXXX, XXXX, at the XXXX location, that customers had until midnight to get their account current as I had an issue at that time. I asked for clarification of this issue of what was stated to me and she said this was the policy ; however, bank ATMs state otherwise in that monies should be deposited into funds by XXXX p.m. daily. Supposedly now I misunderstood, but I asked her outright if this what she meant to say. I want the bank to overturn at least XXXX of these as I feel they added an overdraft ( specifically the XXXX dated XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ) unfairly as the reason why the account was overdraft was due to the overdraft taken out the previous day. While I do n't want to get XXXX into trouble, she never should have said this to me if it was not the correct information. 

XXXX Bank is also taking electronic checks late in the day when they only allow until XXXX p.m. to get the money into your account and this has caused overdraft charges as well and then they do n't want to overturn them, despite the fact that I have checked my checking account diligently the same day to see if more money needs to be put in that day. I think any bank that does this should allow their customers until midnight to get their account current. I have a checking account through a local credit union who allows this and am considering moving all of my banking there now due to the frustration with this most recent issue. A customer has a right to know what is coming in and out of their account that day, and it is n't always reflected for me see. This is deceptive to the customer. A customer also has a right to make a deposit the day the item comes into that account whether it before before or after the item comes in for payment.

Company: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC (RI)

Lord have mercy. I do not know where to begin with this horrible company that has been negatively affecting my credit report and costing me thousands of dollars in interest. I had settled my debt with ViXXXX XXXX through a debt collection company named Portfolio Recovery Associates back in XX/XX/2020. I paid this debt collector {$260.00} and the Plan ID # also known as the confirmation number is : XXXX. I called Portfolio Recovery Associates and spoke with an associate by the name of XXXX XXXX. I informed him that I have made an agreement with Portfolio Recovery Associates stating that I would pay the debt of {$260.00} in order for them to delete and remove the account completely off of my credit report. He informed me that he is UNSURE why said account is still showing on my credit reports because the company requested a deletion from the 3 credit bureaus back on XX/XX/2020 and he also informed me that their department which settles debts asked the 3 major credit bureaus to remove said trade line from my credit reports. This company is hurting my credit profile, I already paid the alleged debt that was owed why are they still trying to destroy my credit profile? I would like this company removed and deleted from my 3 credit reports IMMEDIATELY as they are NEGATIVELY affecting my credit score. I would also like to add that these companies have violated my rights under the FCRA, 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 states A person shall not furnish information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if ( i ) the person has been notified by the consumer, at the address specified by the person for such notices, that specific information is inaccurate ; and ( ii ) the information is, in fact, inaccurate.This is a clear violation AS THE LAW SAYS. I have attached a copy of this inaccuracy from the 3 credit bureaus and am seeking Montery relief from all companies involved with this violation. I have sent the 3 credit bureaus A LOT of letters stating this inaccuracy and all they have done was further violate my rights by updating this alleged debt and not fully investigating as they should have.
