Consumer complaint received 2023-02-21
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (PA)

Around XXXX of XXXX I noticed XXXX bank was not reporting my account accurately ( not reporting payments ), I was able to use the card to make a purchase in XXXX, and then not again for XXXX  months. I contacted the creditor SEVERAL times by phone, first being told because I had a different address I was locked out of my account for a week, then told there were system errors throughout showing some accounts as closed and mine was XXXX affected, I was even question as to whether or not I had closed the account because at that point in the rep 's system my account was showing closed. There were phonecalls made at least XXXX  times between XXXX XXXX as I was unable to use the account at all during this time to make any purchases, although I was able to verify the account had not been closed, rather this update " technical glitch '' somehow made my account unusable. 

XXXX  KNEW it had a system error that was resulting in many accounts being reported incorrectly and not only didn't attempt to fix the issues with consumers ( I was given the run around, call back in XXXX weeks, we're still working on it, our system update glitch remains unsolved XXXX  months later ) and unable to take advantage of any financing offers that required I specifically use this card ( the entire reason I got it ) but HAS NOT correctly updated accounts that have since been reported inaccurately even though they WERE AND ARE AWARE their system is the problem. Finally in late XXXX, early XXXX the issue had been fixed with MY account and I was able to use it again. 

When I asked in XXXX of XXXX for a letter of statements of the fact to send to all XXXX credit bureaus ( as by now the account was reporting as closed as of XX/XX/XXXX ) I was told I had to write in to request that, and to just give it XXXX  days and it will clear itself out, well nearly XXXX  days later SOMEONE IN THERE KEEPS VERIFYING THE WRONG INFORMATION! 

I then proceeded to dispute the information on my credit report with each bureau ( several times ), and EACH INVESTIGATION returns as verified leaving me to believe either no investigation is happening or XXXX  if STILL furnishing incorrect data FULLY AWARE of their own system error. 

While this may have been as a result of data error from the creditor, it took me no more than a XXXX minute phone-call to account services to verify that this account is in fact still open, so between investigators doing the same WITH A CURRENT BILL AS PROOF, there is no reason for these findings. 

As it is an account with perfect payment history and almost XXXX  years worth of history, showing it as closed by the creditor has caused undue harm to my credit score and credit worthiness. I have given XXXX MULTIPLE opportunities and an exhaustive amount of time to fix the issue. 

Through these actions my rights have been violated under FCRA policies and I fully intend to pursue remedies up to and including punitive damages against XXXX
