Consumer complaint received 2025-06-19 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report.

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Nelson and Kennard, LLP
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I was never served papers stating that there was a court date issued for my debt. My wages were garnished but I was able to dispute the debt after going to court. However, the lawyer that appeared at court was very rude and would not even discuss my debt with me one on one. I was denied the modification and the garnishment continued. I left the job I was at after 2 garnishments, not because of the garnishment but for mental health reasons. I got a new job and was issued a continuance of the garnishment. The two payments that were taken for the first debt added up to {$910.00}. I then try to dispute the debt again because the court paper work stated that the amount due was the exact same as the amount for the first garnishment and it showed {$0.00} paid. I do not understand where my money went. I spoke to my payroll system and they told me both garnishments checks had been cashed. I do not know at this point where my money is going, if the debt amount is accurate or if I even owe. Not only that but I have been harassed 2 - 3 times a day every day after I asked to not get any further calls.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Despite repeated attempts to resolve these matters, Experian continues to allow damaging inaccuracies to persist on my credit profile. These unresolved errors are more than just frustratingthey are unjust, and they are actively interfering with my ability to move forward financially. Every time I apply for a loan, a credit card, or any financial opportunity, these incorrect entries stand as barriers that I shouldnt have to face. It is unacceptable that after multiple disputes, you still havent taken the appropriate steps to ensure your data is correct.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, you are legally required to verify every single reported item with original, legitimate documentation. If you can not confirm the accuracy of these records with credible, dated evidence, then these entries have no place on my report and must be removed immediately. I am demanding that you conduct a thorough reinvestigationnot a generic response, not a rubber-stamped review, but a meaningful audit backed by proper documentation. Continued delays and inaction will be treated as a deliberate and unlawful disregard of your obligations under federal law. Ive been more than patient, but my patience has run out.
