On XXXX XXXX I obtained a copy of my credit file. I noticed some things on my credit report that's not accurate. I sent a letter to Experian on XX/XX/2023 and asked them to investigate the completeness and accuracy. I received the results and noticed they did not fix nothing. There are breaking the law According to 15 USC 1681e ( b ) it states this ( b ) Accuracy of report 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.

So I then asked them to provide me a description of the investigation according to 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ) : Description of reinvestigation procedure A consumer reporting agency shall provide to a consumer a description referred to in paragraph ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) by not later than 15 days after receiving a request from the consumer for that description.

They keep ignoring it and also they sending stall letters asking for identification documents which I keep sending them each round.

They are also breaking these laws as well below According to 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ) it states this Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation; and ( ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer.

According to 15 USC 1681s-2 it states this ( A ) Reporting information with actual knowledge of errors A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 
( B ) Reporting information after notice and confirmation of errors 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.

I'm really trying to fix my credit so that I can buy a house soon for my family and also be able to provide comfort for them as well and right now the errors and the violations on my credit file are hurting me from obtaining credit. If I'm not able to buy a house soon or get a place to stay, me and my kids are going to be homeless. 

This is not right how how in being treated and I know they are doing this to other consumers as well. Will you please fix it?
