Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Old information reappears or never goes away
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

I, once again, would like to request the removal of the erroneous accounts and information you have been reporting on my Credit File. When I checked my credit record, I discovered a lot of billing problem. Under U.S. Code 1666 ( b ), billing errors include any computation errors or other accounting errors on a statement, as well as the creditor 's failure to appropriately reflect a statement, a payment made by the debtor, or a credit line extended to the debtor. There shouldn't be any late payments on these accounts because, as far as I'm aware, the creditor did not send me a statement 21 days earlier. Below is the list of the disputed accounts that you should remove immediately : XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00}.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (VA)

Dear Sir/Madam : I received a promotion on my XXXX XXXX American Express regarding a free night certificate if I spent {$8000.00} on the credit card. I was required to enroll, which I thought that I had but apparently did not. I don't know how this would have been communicated to me, so I really would have no idea whether I enrolled. 

I called American Express and asked the status of my certificate. I charged a deposit and remaining payment for an XXXX, each in the amount of {$4100.00} ( or {$8200.00} ) which included a fee of {$230.00} I was required to pay the installer ( the original quite was {$7900.00}. I did so to receive the certificate. 

When I called today, I learned that I had not been enrolled. Furthermore, Amex refused to enroll me retroactively so that I could earn my certificate. I think I was baited into using the Amex card for this purpose, and incurred an extraordinary {$230.00} charge as a result. I probably earned XXXX certificates given my total activity during this period.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (GA)

I have not been able to retrieve my Experian report for the last XXXX years. Experian stated that there is no freeze or fraud alert on my consumer report but I am still unable to access my credit reporting via the Experian website, and other repositories. This is hindering my livelihood. I am currently looking to purchase a car and the dealers are reporting that I have no file. Something is going on with my file and it is Experian 's duty to insure this is available so I may have credit extended to me as a consumer. This has inconvenienced me for many years with creditors relying on Experian 's data to extend credit and they have failed to do so. I have had multiple adverse action decisions due to Experian 's negligence. 

I am looking for Experian to do the right thing and compensate me for the damages. I am requesting {$25000.00} which is way below the adverse action losses I have accumulated since 2020, as well as my consumer report restored to accessibility. 

Thank you

On XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke with personnel from XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion about the potential for phony accounts to be created using my customer information. Since I didn't know how they got there, I begged everyone to erase these accounts. I received guidance from all three businesses on how to keep track of things and complete an FTC form. I submitted my information via standard mail on XX/XX/XXXX. Even after I had submitted my letters more than 30 days earlier, the accounts that were not mine were still shown in my documents since they had been " confirmed. '' I'm bothered and annoyed by this circumstance since it prevents my family and I from being able to purchase a home. I got in touch with the three companies again on XX/XX/XXXX to ask how they could demonstrate that these accounts belonged to me. They said there wasn't much more they could do to assist me and advised me to talk with the debt collectors directly. When the customer contacted, every bank that immediately sprang to mind had been dialed wrong and had no clue who I was or what the accounts were about. To be sure I didn't make a mistake, I conducted my study online. My friends told me to go to the CFPB website. I really hope this works since my family and I need the home we're trying to purchase.
