Company: Advanced Resolution Services Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to request assistance with multiple inaccuracies on my credit report that have adversely impacted my credit standing. Despite my efforts to resolve these issues directly with both creditors and credit reporting agencies, I have not received a satisfactory resolution. These inaccuracies include erroneous information regarding account details, duplicated accounts, outdated collection entries, incorrect open or closed account statuses, and unauthorized inquiries, all of which create a misleading portrayal of my creditworthiness. I kindly ask the CFPB to require the involved parties to correct, delete, or update the disputed information on my credit report in line with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), so that my credit report can reflect my accurate financial history. I am attaching supporting documents and I look forward to your assistance in resolving this matter promptly. Thank you for your attention to this request.

Please update the information on my credit report with Equifax. My current and correct name is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, yet my report shows the wrong name as XXXX XXXX. Additionally, my employer information is missing. The correct employer is XXXX XXXX XXXX, but none was mentioned in the report. Under the FCRA 1681e ( b ), credit reporting agencies must ensure the maximum possible accuracy under 15 USC 1571e ( b ). This inaccuracy violates the FCRA accuracy requirements and impacts the integrity of my credit file. I demand my name and employer information be updated to reflect the accurate details. Continued noncompliance may result in liability under 15 USC 1681n and 1681o, including damages of up to {$1000.00} per violation.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported in to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 

XXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am filing a formal dispute regarding Experians mishandling of my prior disputes and their failure to comply with the requirements of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ). The CFPB 's recent lawsuit highlights systemic issues with Experians handling of consumer disputes, which are directly relevant to my experience. 

Specifically : 1. Sham Investigations : Experian failed to convey the full details and supporting documentation of my dispute to the data furnisher. Instead, they appear to have accepted the furnishers response without question, even though it contradicted the evidence I provided. 
2. Failure to Provide Investigation Results : The response I received from Experian was vague, confusing, and did not provide specific details of their investigation or evidence supporting their decision.

3. Potential Improper Reinsertion of Inaccurate Information : I am concerned that Experian may have improperly reinserted information I previously disputed and believed to be corrected. 
Experians actions appear to violate the following : FCRA 1681i ( a ) : Failure to conduct reasonable investigations of disputed information.

FCRA 1681i ( 5 ) ( B ) : Improper reinsertion of previously deleted information without proper notice. 
CFPA Prohibitions : Engaging in unfair acts or practices by failing to ensure accurate investigations and providing misleading or ambiguous responses to consumers. 

1. Reinvestigate the Disputed Information : Conduct a proper and thorough investigation of the disputed account and provide detailed results of your findings.

2. Remove Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information : If Experian or the furnisher can not verify the disputed account with evidence, delete it from my credit report immediately.

3. Provide Investigation Details : Share all documentation you used to verify the disputed account, including records from the data furnisher.

4. Ensure Compliance with the Law : Prevent improper reinsertion of any previously disputed or deleted information. 
If Experian can not provide adequate documentation or results of a legitimate investigation, I will escalate this matter further by filing complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and considering legal action under the FCRA and CFPA. 
I look forward to receiving a response within 30 days, as required under the FCRA.
