Complaint narrative:
Several accounts appearing on my consumer report have been linked to identity theft, as I never provided written authorization or a wet signature for their inclusion. I recently communicated with your organization regarding this matter and am formally requesting the immediate blocking and removal of these fraudulent accounts from my credit report. The presence of these unauthorized accounts has caused me significant emotional and financial XXXX  by inaccurately representing my credit history and financial responsibilities, which has directly hindered my ability to achieve important life goals such as purchasing a home and providing for my family 's needs. If this identity theft issue is not resolved appropriately and promptly, I am fully prepared to pursue legal action to protect my consumer rights.

Complaint narrative:
The XXXX XXXX account charged off in XX/XX/XXXX must be deleted from my credit report immediately. Despite showing no activity since XX/XX/XXXX, this account continues to be improperly updated monthly as a charge-offcreating a false active payment history that should not exist for closed accounts. This deceptive reporting practice deliberately manipulates the statute of limitations for credit reporting. Such manipulation directly violates my rights under fair credit laws, which clearly protect consumers from exactly this type of misrepresentation. This is the second attempt to fix this issue. The only appropriate remedy is complete deletion of the XXXX XXXX account.

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing several inaccuracies currently appearing on my credit report, specifically unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate or approve. These entries represent a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly 15 U.S. Code 1681i, which requires a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates that information reported must be accurate to the maximum extent possible. In addition, I am disputing a potentially misreported late payment. According to 15 U.S.C. 1666b, creditors must allow at least 21 days between the statement date and the payment due date before classifying a payment as late. Based on my records, this standard may not have been met, or the payment was submitted on time and inaccurately reported as delinquent.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally follow up on a previous dispute regarding inaccurate information on my credit report. Despite my prior efforts to contact the creditor directly, I have not received a response or resolution, and the creditor XXXX XXXX XXXX is being non-responsive. As a result, I am requesting that Experian UPDATE ACCOUNT PAID AS AGREED/NEVER LATE and take appropriate action in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
Disputed Account Information : Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dispute Date ( s ) : XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX I initially disputed this information because I was never late for XX/XX/XXXX. I contacted the creditor directly on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX and provided all necessary documentation but have yet to receive any communication from XXXX XXXX XXXX. Under the FCRA, Experian is required to delete or correct inaccurate or unverifiable information. Since the creditor has failed to verify the disputed information within the required time frame, I request that this item be removed from my credit report. I have also attached the previous letters I sent with tracking numbers and signature confirmation.

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

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX  is in violation of Section 623 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Regulation V because it continues to furnish inaccurate information regarding the status and payment history of a secured credit card account ending is 1149 to Experian. 

Under Section 623 of the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ) and Regulation V ( 12 C.F.R. 1022.40 et seq. ), furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies, such as XXXXXXXX XXXX  are prohibited from reporting information that they know or have reasonable cause to believe is inaccurate. Additionally, when an account is closed, the furnisher is required to report the accurate date of closure and ensure that all information provided to consumer reporting agencies reflects the correct status of the account. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, the consumer opened a secured credit card account with XXXX XXXX. On or around XX/XX/XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX made the decision to close this account. Despite this, XXXX XXXX  furnished information to Experian indicating that payments were made in XXXX through XXXX XXXX after the account had been closed. Furthermore, XXXXXXXX XXXX  reported a 30-day late payment in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, and incorrectly reported the account closure date as XX/XX/XXXX. 

The attached communications from XXXX Bank confirm that the account was closed in XX/XX/XXXX. Therefore, the reporting of a later closure date, continued payment activity after closure, and subsequent late payments are demonstrably inaccurate. Repeated requests were made for XXXXXXXX XXXX  to correct this information, yet the inaccurate reporting persists. 

Because XXXXXXXX XXXX  has furnished information to Experian that is inconsistent with its own records and continues to report inaccurate account status and payment history despite multiple requests for correction, it is in violation of Section 623 of the FCRA and XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX failure to correct this misinformation constitutes a breach of its statutory duties as a furnisher of credit information.

Company: Continental Finance Company, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I attempted to log into my XXXX XXXX account, serviced by Continental Finance. That was the due date for my account. Their system forced me to do a 2-step authorization. My choices were to have a text message sent to the phone on file ( a landline ) or to have a code sent to the email address I have on file. Since the phone on file is a landline, I chose email verification 3 or 4 times and received no code. I had to go to work, so I didn't try again until later in the day. I tried to get a code sent to my email with no result. I finally called the number on the back of the card to make my payment. Since it was after XXXX, NOW the payment was not to be credited until the next day. On the same call I attempted to have a code sent to me and the XXXX  rep I spoke with said that the email option was no longer available because they were " updating '' their website. Instead, I would have to have a text sent to me. When I explained that I would have to change the number on the account to a cell phone, she told me I would have to send them a copy of my cell phone bill in order to change or add it to the account. She explained that she could not give me access to the account until I did that. I tried to get into the account again on XX/XX/XXXX with the same result. I called again and was told that I had to send a copy of my cell phone bill. She also told me it would be added within 24-48 hours. I emailed the information as instructed. I tried to log in again on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a second email. Today, XX/XX/XXXX I tried again and then sent an email with all the information and telling them that if I did not have access by XXXX XXXX I would file a complaint. THIS is that complaint as they did NOT comply. As a result of their failure to cooperate in giving me an access code, I am not able to review statements on TWO of my accounts. I also have a XXXX  card with them. As an additional issue, the XXXX phone number is listed incorrectly on one of the pages of their site. That caused me to call a scammer.
