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 submit a complaint regarding the handling of inaccurate information on my credit report by the credit reporting agencies, despite my repeated efforts in dispute these errors. Despite multiple disputes filed with the bureau, they have failed to take appropriate action to update or delete these inaccuracies as required by law. This negligence has persisted despite my lawful right, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I5 U.S.C. 1681, to have my credit report reflect only accurate and verifiable information. The FCRA mandates that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of information ( 15 U.S.C.le ( b ) ) and conduct a reasonable investigation of disputes raised by consumers ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ). The accounts in question, listed below, contain incorrect information that I have repeatedly disputed : COLLECTION ACCOUNTS : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX CHARGE-OFF ACCOUNTS : XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I contacted TransUnion over the phone letting them know that the wrong address information was listed. Although the corrected one area when I first login, they did not correct my credit report which still has the wrong information! I have made several attempts trying to get this corrected and it has not been corrected. The XXXX XXXX XXXX is NOT my current address and I need to have this corrected immediately so that they arent sending my personal credit report to the wrong address. I was a victim of identity theft and Im currently one that just happened a week ago and this is continually subjecting me to that

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
Im writing to dispute the reporting of a charge-off account listed under XXXX XXXX on my credit report. I reviewed the information and noticed inconsistencies between how TransUnion and Experian report the account. The date the account was opened differs between the two bureaus for JPMCB - XXXX, with TransUnion reporting XX/XX/XXXX and Experian reporting XX/XX/XXXX. 

With XXXX XXXX, Transunion reporting Date opened XX/XX/XXXX, and Experian XX/XX/XXXX. These differences raise concerns about the accuracy and completeness of the account information. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the information reported must be accurate and consistent. Given these clear discrepancies showing the inconsistent information, I am asking to remove it from my credit report entirely. 
Ive included a copy of my ID and a recent utility bill to verify my identity. 
Thank you for your help, and I look forward to hearing back from you within the XXXX timeframe.

An itemized accounting of the alleged debt.
