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

Complaint narrative:
Experian inaccurately reports charge-offs for several accounts that do not have substantiated documentation. The following accounts are being reported with charge-offs : XXXX ( Account # : XXXX ), reported on XX/XX/XXXX with a balance of {$9400.00} ; XXXX XXXX  XXXX Account # : XXXX ), reported on XX/XX/XXXX with a balance of {$1700.00} ; XXXX XXXX ( Account # : XXXX ), reported on XX/XX/XXXX with a balance of {$1300.00} ; XXXX ( Account # : XXXX ), reported on XX/XX/XXXX with a balance of {$1400.00} ; and XXXX XXXX ( Account # : XXXX ), reported on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  with a balance of {$3300.00}. These charge-offs have not been properly verified, and no supporting evidence from the creditors has been provided to demonstrate their validity. As outlined by 15 USC 1681n, credit reporting agencies are legally required to report only accurate, verified, and substantiated information. Despite several attempts to obtain supporting documentation from the creditors, none has been provided. Without this proof, it is clear these charge-offs are inaccurately impacting my credit report. The lack of verification and proper documentation violates my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, including 15 USC 1681e ( b ), which requires credit bureaus to ensure the accuracy of the information they report.

State: MT

Complaint narrative:
This letter serves as a formal follow-up to my previous correspondence regarding your agency 's ongoing refusal to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically in connection with my properly filed identity theft report submitted through IdentityTheft.gov.

To date, your agency has not provided any satisfactory justification for rejecting this report, nor have you taken the necessary steps to investigate or remove the clearly fraudulent accounts listed below from my credit file. As reiterated in my prior letter, federal lawincluding FCRA Section 605B and Section 617requires you to accept valid identity theft reports from consumers, including those submitted through the Federal Trade Commissions IdentityTheft.gov platform. Nowhere does the law require that such reports originate solely from a law enforcement agency.

Your continued rejection of my legally sufficient identity theft affidavit is not only unsupported by federal law but also constitutes willful noncompliance with the FCRA. This failure to act in accordance with clearly established legal procedures and CFPB guidance reflects blatant disregard for my rights as a consumer and victim of identity theft.

Let me be clear : This is your final notice. You are in violation of federal law by continuing to report and verify account that was opened fraudulently and which I have already disputed with appropriate documentation.

If I do not receive confirmation within 15 calendar days that these accounts have been permanently removed and that my credit file has been updated to reflect the resolution of this matter, I will proceed to : 1.File formal complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and my State Attorney General.

2.Initiate legal action for your violations of FCRA Section 617 and for any damages sustained as a result of your unlawful reporting and failure to investigate.
