I recently reviewed my credit report and found that there were numerous pieces of inaccurate information which is very upsetting to me. These errors are affecting my ability to get a car which in turn is affecting my ability to get to work. I am on the brink of being fired and I need these errors corrected immediately. This is a flagrant violation of my rights and insist you remove these inaccuracies from my report at once.

Hello, I have a XXXX XXXX XXXX that was acquired by Barclay US. My experience has been a nightmare and the company has refused to resolve my issue for over a XXXX 

I've contacted Barclay XXXX XXXX department on the following dates and times ( Eastern Standard ) Phone # XXXX XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX My account was transferred from XXXX XXXX to Barclay US and they have refused to grant me access to my online account and I have not received a statement. I attempted to log into the Barclay account using my information from my Gap account that did not work. I attempted to create a profile as I was told the profiles did not sync to the new company. When I try to create a profile I receive an error message that I already have a profile. Then I selected the option to retrieve my username and when I've used my phone number or email address - nothing is sent. I have tried countless times to call and resolve the issue with not being able to access my account online and no one has escalated or taken ownership to resolve my issue. How can I be liable for a bill that I have never seen? 

The representatives have been rude and I have spent countless hours trying to call and resolve the issue with zero support from Barclay. Today XXXX, I called and spoke to XXXX  # XXXX, who then transferred me to a Customer Care Rep name XXXX, who then transferred me to someone from the Securities team name XXXX who became XXXX XXXX XXXX  on the phone and hung up on me. According to the recordings, all calls are monitored - if they allow their representatives to speak and treat customers in this manner they should not be allowed to be in business. These practices are predatory and deceitful and intended negatively impact customers. The amount of XXXX XXXX XXXX I've had to endure this past XXXX is unjust!

This letter is a formal complaint that Equifax has been reporting inaccurate and incomplete credit information on my Credit Report. I understand that mistakes happen but your inaccurate information could cost me in higher interest rates and I have enough expenses as it is. I have previously disputed this item with Equifax Reference number : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Bankruptcy- Filed date XX/XX/2022 and in response Equifax verified the item as accurate, stating that they have verified the information with the court. I contacted the court and their response is enclosed. It is clear they do not report to you or any credit bureau for that matter, therefore the original 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 immediately. 
The U. S. Bankruptcy Court items listed on my credit file and per the FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) : If the Credit Bureau can not VALIDATE the information with the ORIGINAL CREDITOR, they must remove said information from the consumer credit file. The County Recorder of Deeds and the Bankruptcy Courts have both mailed me letters which clearly state that they do NOT provide any information to credit reporting agencies, nor do they ever validate and/or confirm public records. It is the credit reporting agencies, and/or other third-party providers such as XXXX who collect information regarding public cases from public records.

Public records information is NEVER validated by the Recorder of Deeds nor the U. S. Court system due to the Fair Credit Reporting Agency PRIVACY LAW. My inquiry to the County Recorder of Deeds and U. S. Bankruptcy Courts confirmed Equifax has never validated or verified these public record entries on my credit report, neither will they ever be by them. They further stated while they are NOT liable or responsible for any MISUSE or INCORRECT public records, nor the distribution of said information, public records may, and oftentimes are, reported by third party sources unawares to the consumer, and in most cases, incorrectly. 

If they fail to respond within 30 days of receipt of this letter will result in a small claims action against Equifax. I will be seeking no less than {$5000.00} in damages for, but not limited to 1 ) Defamation ; 2 ) Negligent Enhancement of Identity Fraud ; 3 ) Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Consumer.

***I would like the bankruptcy information to be deleted immediately.

Attached is the letter from the court. the COURT does not verify with THIRD PARTY AGENCIES or CREDIT BUREAUS. ***

After receiving no response to my initial dispute, I promptly escalated the matter by filing a second dispute with the bureau. As per the FCRA, the agency is obligated to notify the furnisher of the disputed information and provide them with all relevant documentation. 
However, they failed to fulfill this obligation, and as a result, the furnisher continued to report the inaccurate information without any verification or correction. I also requested identifying information in reference to any supporting documentation to sustain why the items Ive disputed are continuing to report. I received nothing.

This is the second time I've updated this questionable information by sending a letter to the three credit bureaus.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

I filed a dispute about an incorrect late payment on my credit report and Experian simple updated the information but did not provide proof of where they got that information. They failed to due a reasonable investigation and simply just ignored my dispute. This is a violation of federal law. There's no way they verified this information with the company that account was for as it was a matter of days. So now i am filing an additional dispute as well as an intention to file suit. 

The account in question was a secured credit card account which is an account that I provided money for to establish the credit line... I decided to close the account and they were to apply the money held to secure the credit line against the balance and return the remainder to me. This was set up correctly and done I have proof of the phone records showing the dates and time this was requested. Unless Experian can provide me written proof that I was late on my payment which would be IMPOSSIBLE since the bank already had the funds, this is inaccurate reporting which is also a violation. 

I am in the processing of securing a very important business deal and this incorrect information is damaging not only my personal credit it is risking my personal finances. Experian should be fully aware that I will file suit for incorrect information on my report so I am giving ONE opportunity for them to actually look at the information and correct it as they are required to do by law OR I will file suit and they will be forced to correct it and I will seek monetary damages for their willful and negligence in not complying.
