Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My student loan was part of the federal forgiveness program and the outstanding balance was forgiven, leaving me with a balance of {$0.00}. I received a letter from XXXX stating the new {$0.00} balance, which I submitted to the 3 credit reporting agencies 6 months ago, when I start the dispute process. XXXX updated the account and correctly shows a {$0.00} balance. I have disputed the balance with Experian twice and both times, they have incorrectly reported a balance. I submitted a 3rd dispute but I seem to be going around in circles. You are my last hope before I am forced to file a lawsuit.

Complaint narrative:
Hey there! 

I hope this message finds you well. I just wanted to reach out and discuss an issue I've been having with a list of accounts. It seems that these accounts have violated my rights to privacy and confidentiality under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681 ). 

I've already contacted XXXX, Transunion, and XXXX on XX/XX/23 to ask them to look into these accounts. 

However, they have informed me that everything is complete and accurate. I find this hard to believe, as there are discrepancies in the open dates, dates of last activity, and other important details. According to 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ), they should be making modifications to any accounts that are not reporting correctly. 

Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ), it is stated that no one should provide inaccurate information on to a consumer reporting agency. With this in mind, I kindly request that these items/accounts be removed immediately. 

I appreciate your attention to this matter, and I look forward to resolving this issue with your assistance. Thank you for your time and cooperation!

Issue: Getting a credit card — Card opened without my consent or knowledge
Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
My driver license and mail was stolen in XX/XX/XXXX  at my home in Nevada. The criminal opened 3 cards in my name in California. I froze my credit, took the necessary steps to call the companies and report fraud. All cards have been removed and cancelled except for Barclays/ Old Navy card. 

They refuse to close this fraudulent account. I received generic reply letters from the company saying my account is in good standing. 

I have never been to XXXX, California. XXXX is where the account was opened. I have called multiple times reporting fraud. 
I may have to seek a lawyer to remove this charge since Barclays/ Old Navy will not comply.

I reviewed my consumer reports and noticed that I had as many as 7 late payments reported on an account that I was never late in paying. The consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum accuracy. I have never been late on payments for the accounts from student loan servicer XXXX that I am attaching and reporting as inaccurate today. Please investigate and provide proof with statements showing that these payments were late. If proof can not be provided, I demand these payments be updated to paid as agreed on time as they should be due to the fact I was never late. Thanks!

Complaint narrative:
I reached out, via certified mail to the credit bureau, on XXXX and XXXX, regarding suppression on incorrection and fraudulent information. They have no responded either times, which is in direct violation with my rights. The FCRA states that credit bureaus are legally obligated to suppress information identified by a consumer as resulting from identity theft upon receiving an identity theft report. This suppression must occur within four days of receiving the necessary documentation from the consumer. Upon receiving an identity theft report, a CRA must block the reporting of any information in the consumer 's file that the consumer identifies as resulting from identity theft. Collins v. Experian Credit Reporting Serv.. This block must be implemented within four days of the CRA receiving proof of the consumer 's identity, a copy of the identity theft report, the identification of the information resulting from the alleged identity theft, and a statement by the consumer affirming that the disputed information does not relate to any transaction by the consumer. Osada v. Experian Info. Solutions, Inc.. If a CRA fails to block the reporting of such information, the consumer may have a cause of action under the FCRA Anthony v. Experian Info. Solutions Inc..

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
on XX/XX/26 i contacted Capital One about 4 charges from XXXX XXXX XXXX that i was not aware of what they were. Cap 1 informed me they would contact XXXX XXXX XXXX and inform me of the result of the inquiry. I did not receive an email or phone call. This week i received from XXXX XXXX XXXX a past due notice for 2 of the 4 charges. I contacted Cap1 to see what their inquiry found and was told i was sent messages, but did not respond to them, so they closed the case. For some reason they paid XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX of the disputed charges but not the others. 
i stated i had not received any communication. The customer service agent told me it would be online where i log into my account. She directed me and it took her over 5 minutes to find out where messages are placed. and she was very competent. 
no on ever told me i would constantly need to check online to see if they were communicating with me. 
this is deceptive and could be damaging. no one just places ( in this case hides ) messages on their site without telling the customer that a message has been sent and how to access it. othe companies either send an email detailing the situation, or one telling you to check your messages on the company site. 
Capital One should make sure customers are aware of communications and make it easy for them to be accessed.
