Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experians inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

As you will note, paragraph XXXX of the Renewal Agreement contains no procedures for the exercise of this option ( and none are stated in any addendum ), other than the payment of the requisite Early Termination Option Fee, as provided on page 1, paragraph M of the Renewal Agreement. Because there is no advance notice requirement for us to exercise this option, we are not required to provide any more notice than provided in this email.
