I owed {$150.00} to a school ( XXXX XXXX ) I attended. I paid the amount ( {$150.00} ) to my school. However, the debt was incorrectly given to a debt collection agency ( XXXX ). The debt was first reported as {$53.00} for the first 5 months of it being on my credit report, which was incorrect. Then, it was updated to {$150.00} for the last 2 months of it being on my credit report. I contacted my school to confirm this debt ( {$150.00} ) was paid in full directly to them, and that it was mistakenly handed off to a collection agency. The debt has been reflected as paid in full on my credit report. However, I have never interacted with the collections agency and it was paid prior to going to the collections agency. This incorrect submission on my credit report is in violation of the following FCRA statutes : no correct date of first delinquency reported as required by FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( a ), not providing notice of furnishing negative information FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 7 ) ( A ) ( i ), and it would be in violation of FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ) if this information continues to be reported.

Experian has not sent me anything back in the mail, concerning my letter. I have also requested the 3 credit bureaus if upon their investigation they find everything to be accurate and correct, they forward me a description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the items listed below within 15 days of their completion. As it is my right to do so by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. They have not done so.

I will upload all documents concerning the letters I've sent as well as dates, receipts, and response letters from the credit bureaus. Upon their investigation, I've double-checked my credit reports and found the information is still reported as incorrect or inaccurate. 

I will also upload documents that show inaccurate and inconsistent dates of the information being reported on my account.

For over 2 years I have had to deal with a XXXX XXXX that has been destroyed by XXXX incompetence. In short my 830+ Credit Score is now at 712 and struggling to recover due to XXXX incompetence. Thankyou for at least reading this far. 
In short, I was moving homes and requested to cancel XXXX XXXX. 
I followed requested process and in fact waited 3 times for someone to collect unit as scheduled ... no one ever turned delivered myself to XXXX location. While dealing with this over the few week I was billed by XXXX for another month. Despite all the " promises '' this will be rectified NOTHING was done. Instead XXXX sent collection notices ( adding insult to injury ) which I refused to pay out of principal ) Consequently this referred to various Collection Agencies who passed the SAME DISPUTED account around, each time impacting Credit Score ..Finally out of frustration I paid bill but damage has been done. As you will see from all my active accounts and my long term payment history with EVERYTHING ELSE has been stellar ( hence my original XXXX Credit Score ) yet my scores with Transunion, XXXX  and XXXX remain low and yet to be corrected. 

One has to question the accuracy and integrity of the Credit Agencies ( and why I am registering this complaint after two years +of frustration ) as to how ONE DISPUTED XXXX bill for {$100.00} outweighs payments for numerous other accounts including mortgages involving thousands of dollars paid fully well in advance. 

My Credit rating has not been corrected nor fairly represents my " payment character '' which impacts me any time I look to apply for anything that requires a Credit Rating search to be done. 
Hopefully something good will come of this to protect other customers. Thank you.

I received a loan from upgrade.com XX/XX/XXXX. I have been having problems with Upgrade since the pandemic started. They put me on a payment plan for {$170.00} first. I made those payments. Then i went to the website and they asked me to pay {$220.00}. I made that payment but they did not enter my account. Then they offered me another plan that i selected the one for {$230.00}. I made this payment on XX/XX/XXXX. They had not debeted my account earlier in the previous months, so i dud not expect them to debet my account this time. I contacted them 3 times. The first time, the representive said she was going to stop the automactic payment. She reviewed the account and saw that the payment was account for. They debeted the accojnt again. I called again and asked why were they debeting my account. They did this a third time. I asked them to refund the money. She asked me to request the bank to refund the funds. They told me that they would contact me on XX/XX/XXXX. They contacted me on Friday XX/XX/XXXX and still did not have a answer for me. I have not still heard from them. They have debeted my account 4 times for {$230.00} each time.

I have no clue what's going on so I have no choice but to file a complaint. XXXX, Transunion, and XXXX  have received my disputes XX/XX/XXXXand still have not been able to give me my dispute results. Today is XX/XX/XXXX This is almost 2 months with no response. I found a ridiculous number on inaccuracies and misleading information that's making it hard to get credit. I found that the bureaus are in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I, the consumer have rights that are being violated under the FDCPA as well. The bureaus have 30 days to investigate pursuant 15 USC 1681i and failure to do so means these items should be promptly deleted. You are also in violation of my CONSUMER rights to privacy pursuant 15 USC 1692b. These violations make me think you have been practicing unfairly this entire time.

I currently have my credit frozen with all 3 credit bureaus/reporting agen cies- Experian , XXXX , and XXXX . I am moving into a new home and needed to remove th e freeze so that the electric utility company could review my application for service. 

For XXXX and XXXX, their sites were so easy to do this- very intuitive, quick, and provided a firm confirmation that the request for lifting the freeze was sucessful. 

Absolutely not the case with Experian. A totally different experience. It is clear that they do not want consumers to be able to speak with live customer service agents. They are not even open until XXXX XXXX eastern time. So people who live within the eastern time zone only have functionally half the business day to reach them when this is necessary. 

Their site is not nearly as friendly and intuitive, but my main complaint is that it should be very, very easy for consumers to reach a live representative with any credit reporting agency. 

Because I can not reach Experian, my new home may not have the electricity turned on when we move in. You can see how powerful a credit freeze can be, so this is why consumers should easily be able to reach each credit bureau by phone if we so choose to do so. 

I am really hoping this complaint will be taken seriously and that I will receive a response.
