Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TN)

XXXX  ; Experian and XXXX  are reporting incorrectly that I am ( 120-180 ) days late on the XXXX  partial account numbers XXXX*** ; XXXX and XXXX. ( Please see pages attached from my credit report. ) First, all of these accounts report a {$0.00} balance and {$0.00} past due. Second, these accounts are currently being coded as an I5. These accounts should be coded as an I1. I have contacted the bureaus and have spoken to multiple representatives who have verbally stated to me they can not change the coding on these infractions. This is not true. I have spoken to my loan officer, as well as my lender, and it was confirmed that the coding on these items can be changed by the bureaus to report accurate information. I am not disputing any prior late payments however, these accounts are being reported as if I am past due in present day. Keep in mind that it is impossible to be late on an account where nothing is owed and nothing is past due. It is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act to not report accurate coding information on a credit report. This false reporting of lates is seriously harming my credit score and all of these line items need to be removed from my credit report. I have contacted the bureaus to remove these however, I have not been successful.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (AZ)

according to my credit report XXXX XXXX  cancelled my debt but it is still reflecting as debt. according to the IRS anytime a debt is cancelled it has to be filled as income on a 1099 c form. so based on what the IRS says it is income not debt. so my credit report is inaccurate. so there's inaccurate information on my credit report that needs to be removed. According to the FCRA my credit report has to be accurate and if its not it must be removed and if they don't they are breaking the law which I can sue. so I am asking XXXX XXXX to remove this account off my credit report because it is inaccurate..The tax impact of debt forgiveness or cancellation depends on your individual facts and circumstances. Generally, if you borrow money from a commercial lender and the lender later cancels or forgives the debt, you may have to include the cancelled amount in income for tax purposes. The lender is usually required to report the amount of the canceled debt to you and the IRS on a Form 1099-C, Cancellation of Debt. There are several exceptions to the taxability of cancelled debt, such as insolvency or bankruptcy. according to the FRCA Experian XXXX and XXXX must delete this information. Consumer reporting agencies must correct or delete inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information. Inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information must be removed or corrected, usually within 30 days. However, a consumer reporting agency may continue to report information it has verified as accurate.

I was trying to buy my wife a car today XX/XX/20 but when they ran my credit to see if I qualified for the loan, I was told that I was not approved because there are three accounts in negative standing appearing on my credit. I had no idea what accounts they were talking about so I looked at my credit report myself and there were accounts from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX that I never opened. I don't know who is responsible for these accounts or why they're on my credit report but I did not benefit anything from them such as money, goods, services or any other benefit nor did I ever make any payments towards them. I have already filed a police report as well as a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau regarding these accounts.

Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am filing this complaint against TransUnion due to their handling of a disputed account on my credit report, which they have inaccurately re-aged, suggesting a recent late payment. This action is misleading, incorrect, and has significantly harmed my creditworthiness, directly impacting my financial stability and ability to secure essential financial services. 

Furthermore, I wish to highlight my previous attempt to resolve an issue with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/2023, I sent a certified mail requesting validation of a disputed account, as per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requirements. Despite the legal obligation to respond within 30 days, I have not received any form of acknowledgment or response, further compounding the inaccuracies on my credit report. 

This complaint underlines the failure of TransUnion and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to adhere to FCRA guidelines, resulting in severe personal and financial repercussions for me. As a diligent consumer who has not missed a single payment in over XXXX years, and as a single father striving to provide for my family, I urgently request the CFPB 's assistance in investigating these matters and ensuring the correction of my credit report. 

Enclosed are all relevant documents, including copies of the certified mail sent to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and evidence of the disputed account with TransUnion. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt assistance in resolving these distressing issues.
