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

Complaint narrative:
Dear XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, I am writing to formally request the removal of inaccurate late payment entries from my credit report for my closed credit card account, ending in XXXX. This account was closed on XX/XX/XXXX, according to the XXXX XXXX representative I spoke with today. However, the account closure date is being inaccurately reported to the credit bureaus, which is affecting my credit score. 

The discrepancies I have identified are as follows : XXXX is reporting the account closed on XX/XX/XXXX. 
Experian is reporting the account closed on XX/XX/XXXX. 
XXXX is reporting the account closed on XX/XX/XXXX. 

These inconsistencies are negatively impacting my credit report, and under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Section 605B, it is illegal to report false or inaccurate information to the credit bureaus. I kindly request that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX correct these errors and remove the reported late payments from my credit history, as they are inaccurate and unfairly damaging my credit score. 

Please provide written confirmation of the corrections made and notify the credit bureaus of these changes. I would appreciate your prompt attention to this matter, as it is crucial for maintaining an accurate credit profile. 

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Please call the XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX ( XXXX ) I called and stayed on the phone until an XXXX agent answered. I gave the agent my XXXX XXXX XXXX, phone number and home address as requested. The agent asked for a cell phone number and I informed him I didn't own a cell or smart phone. He told me he could not verify my identity without a cell/smart phone number. 
I requested to speak with management and an XXXX lady came on the phone. I told her I don't own a cell/smart phone and she said I would need to send copies of my driver license, social security card and other items via post. I refused and asked for her XXXX. She told me she could not do that. I asked for the name of the CEO of Equifax XXXX and she said she could not give me that information. I asked her to send her requirements to me via the post and she said she could not do that. 
From what I could tell, she could not do anything at all. I informed her it was my legal right to freeze my account. She again repeated that I needed to send copies of information via post. 
I'm the victim of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX  and numerouse other breaches including the XXXX XXXX  of XXXX. As far as I can see, XXXX XXXX is making this harder than any of the other credit beurals so they can continue to sell data. I have the right to freeze this and XXXX XXXX is refusing. They have enough information to identify me. I know this because the other credit reporting agencies didn't need all the information I supplied.

In XX/XX/scrub>XXXX XXXX XXXX was taken over by XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX sent the automatic checks out to BMO but it went to the wrong account at BMO. I was in XXXX for a month in XXXX. When I got back i never received a notice from BMO about the missing HELOC payments until XXXX. When I researched what happened, the mortgage servicer of BMO ( XXXX ) said they would transfer the money from my checking account TO the HELOC account as I wasnt able to do that. That was incorrect information they gave me. I wasnt able to initiate the online transfer myself as my account was put on hold because I was " delinquent '' per their incorrect records and it wasnt until I finally spoke to an agent in XXXX who told me i could phone transfer the {$4000.00} OVER to the HELOC which i did, but by that time they had reported me to the credit agencies. I have asked them to rectify and correct the late payment and I have not heard back. My credit still shows a late payment and i am looking to get a mortgage in the next month and need this removed.
