Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint against Experian for failing to adhere to consumer protection laws under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and other applicable regulations. Despite my lawful disputes regarding inaccuracies on my credit report, Experian has failed to conduct a proper reinvestigation and continues to report incorrect information, in violation of my rights as a consumer.

The violations in question include but are not limited to : * Failure to remove inaccurate or fraudulent accounts despite lack of verification.

* Failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation as required under FCRA 1681i.

* Continued reporting of unauthorized credit inquiries without permissible purpose under FCRA 1681b.

* Failure to provide adequate documentation proving the validity of disputed information.

I have made multiple attempts to resolve these issues directly with Experian by disputing the inaccurate information, but they have not complied with their legal obligations. These violations have caused undue financial hardship, including potential impacts on my credit score and access to financial opportunities.

In accordance with FCRA 1681s ( a ), I am formally requesting the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to investigate Experians actions and take appropriate enforcement measures. I have attached copies of my dispute letters, Experians responses ( if any ), and any supporting documentation proving their non-compliance.

I kindly request that the CFPB intervene and ensure that Experian adheres to federal laws protecting consumer rights. Please confirm receipt of this complaint and inform me of any actions taken regarding this matter.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information being reported on my consumer credit report by Equifax, and TransUnion for XXXX XXXX XXXX [ Specifically, Equifax is reporting the account as " Pays account as agreed '' with a " 30 days past due '' delinquency. Transunion is reporting " Paid account/was 30 days past due '' with a " 30-day delinquent '' status. Equifax is reporting " Paid or paying as agreed '' but does not indicate a payment status. ] These reports are inaccurate and need to be updated to reflect " Paid on time '' and " Paid as agreed '' for all accounts. These entries are inconsistent, contradictory, and inaccurate. I am requesting that the status of this account be updated to reflect " Paid on time '' or " Current, '' and the worst delinquency status be updated accordingly to ensure accuracy in reporting. Upon review, I have discovered that these entries violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( CRA ), particularly Section 611, which requires consumer reporting agencies to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information contained in consumer reports. Furthermore, the entries were reported without my written authorization, in direct violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ), which mandates that consumer information can not be accessed or used without the explicit written consent of the consumer. I expect a detailed response outlining the findings of your investigation, including documentation of the original written instructions from me, with my wet signature, authorizing the reporting of this information, and an explanation of the legitimate purpose for reporting these late payments. Additionally, I request a thorough investigation into these disputed late payments as per Section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ) of the FCRA and written confirmation of the investigation 's completion, along with details of any actions taken to rectify this matter. 

Lastly, I request documentation to verify compliance with 15 U.S. Code 1666b, which mandates that periodic statements must be delivered at least 21 days before the payment due date, including the periodic statement and corresponding tracking number to confirm timely delivery. I have attached proof of the inaccuracies and highlighted them in red for your convenience. I trust that you will handle this matter promptly and in compliance with all applicable federal regulations. I look forward to receiving a response within 30 days of the date of this letter. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
