Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Report Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable re-investigation of disputed information on my credit report leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systematic issues such as failing to forward consumer provided evidence. These failures align with my experience where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate correction to remove or amend the disputed accounts as Experians inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB Representative, I am writing to formally submit a complaint regarding AMEX, who has failed to send me a copy of the 1099-C form for Credit charged off in the amount reported of {$8000.00} XX/XX/year> and {$3700.00} XX/XX/year>. Despite my repeated requests for this documentation, AMEX has neglected to fulfill their obligation, which I believe constitutes a violation of the following laws : XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX : This statute requires creditors to report the cancellation of debt, including issuing a 1099-C form to consumers when a debt of {$600.00} or more has been canceled. 

Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) : This act prohibits debt collectors from engaging in unfair or deceptive practices, including failing to provide necessary documentation related to a debt. 

The absence of the 1099-C form not only jeopardizes my ability to accurately report my income to the IRS but also raises concerns about potential fraudulent business practices and tax avoidance by AMEX. The failure to issue this tax form has significant implications for my tax liabilities and indicates a lack of transparency in their operations. 

I believe that this situation warrants investigation for tax fraud, and I am considering reporting these activities to the IRS for further scrutiny. I kindly request that the CFPB take appropriate action regarding this matter, as it affects not only my financial well-being but may also impact other consumers facing similar issues. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response.
