Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I previously sent a letter to the Bureaus regarding the inaccuracies and unknown entries on my credit report, but sadly, I haven't received a response even after 30 days. It feels like my concerns are being overlooked, and I'm not being treated fairly. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these issues aren't investigated within 30 days, they should be removed from my credit report without delay. Since that time has passed, I expect these accounts to be updated right away. If this doesn't happen, I may have to consider legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Moreover, my information was compromised in the Equifax, Experian, and Transunion data breach, which adds to my worries about the safety of my personal data.

Complaint narrative:
I opened a XXXX XXXX XXXX to puchase furniture in XXXX, XXXX. 

XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  - Paid credit card off, paid balance of {$670.00}. 

Did not receive any further statements until XX/XX/XXXX, showed XXXX balance. 

XXXX statement - received and indicated a charge for {$99.00} for an annual fee. Payment was due XXXX. I call XXXX  XXXX and canceled card. It had a XXXX balance. 

XXXX statement indicated a {$30.00} minimum payment due on the {$99.00} annual fee that I canceled. 

XXXX statement indicates a {$60.00} minimum paymnet due, interest of {$1.00}, for the annual fee- for the card I canceled. 

I know XXXX  has canceled the card because it reflected as a negative on my credit score. 
and I canceled the card and I should not be having to pay a {$99.00} fee for a card I don't have, nor be required to make payments for the fee on a card that's canceled and was not used. This card hasn't been active since XX/XX/XXXX. 

If I was going to incur a fee for canceling, why wasn't I advised of that when I called on XX/XX/XXXX and canceled the card? 

Also on the statement attached, there is no indication that the card has been canceled, but XXXX  and XXXX  was notified of the cancellation. The cancellation affected my credit score. 

Please review and respond. 

Thank you!

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.
