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 on my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ).

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy of certain information on my credit reports maintained by XXXX and Experian. The details of the accounts in question are as follows : XXXX Report : Account # : XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Date Last Active : XX/XX/XXXX Experian Report : Account # : XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Date Last Active : XX/XX/XXXX Upon reviewing my credit reports, I have identified discrepancies between the information reported by XXXX and Experian regarding the above auto loan account. Specifically : Date Opened : XXXX reports the account as opened on XX/XX/XXXX, while Experian reports it as opened on XX/XX/XXXX. 

Date Last Active : XXXX reports the account as last active on XX/XX/XXXX, whereas Experian reports it as last active on XX/XX/XXXX. This slight discrepancy in reported dates of last activity requires clarification. 

These discrepancies violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) in the following ways : FCRA 611 - Accuracy of Information : The inconsistencies in reported dates of account opening and last active dates suggest a failure to maintain accurate consumer information.

FCRA 623 - Duty to Correct and Update Information : According to FCRA 623, CRAs must promptly update and correct inaccurate information upon notification by the consumer. The discrepancies noted above indicate a need for immediate correction and updating of my credit reports.

Furthermore, under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ), inaccurate information must be promptly deleted or corrected by the consumer reporting agency after receiving notice of dispute from the consumer. Given the discrepancies noted above, I request that XXXX and Experian promptly delete the inaccurate information from my credit reports. 


I request that XXXX and Experian conduct a thorough investigation into these discrepancies as required by FCRA 611 and promptly delete the inaccurate information from my credit reports. Please provide me with the results of the investigation in writing and confirm when the corrections have been made.

Additionally, I kindly request that you send me a free copy of my updated credit report once the corrections have been made.

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

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: CAINE & WEINER COMPANY, INC.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
The company contacted me to say I had a past-due balance, although they would not state to what company the amount was owed. I requested a copy of any invoice or contract. The documentation they provided was a contract for credit card processing services for my business, however, neither company on the form handles my payment processing. I have no business relationship with either business on the form. They also provided invoices from a processing company which show no transactions occurred with this company, thus the company did not process any transactions for my business. 

The contract is dated XX/XX/year>, which is significant in that I had just experienced check check fraud prior to that date. A check was stolen, washed, and someone attempted to deposit it fraudulently. The contract provided by Caine Weiner has the same bank account number as the stolen check, however, I had closed this account a couple of weeks prior to the contract, due to the fraud ( at the bank 's request ). If I were truly signing a contract for new credit card processing services, wouldn't I use my new, current bank account number? Further, the signature on the contract is not mine and looks to be a poorly attempted forgery. I did not complete or sign this contract, it is a complete fraud.

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. ''
