Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AK

Complaint narrative:
I have repeatedly attempted to have these discrepancies reviewed and corrected, yet no significant action has been taken. Despite submitting all required documentation and following up multiple times, the inaccuracies on my credit report remain unresolved. This prolonged issue has led to ongoing financial strain and has severely impacted my well-being. The process of addressing these errors has been both frustrating and XXXX  exhausting. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a credit report that accurately reflects my financial history, including the timely correction or removal of any outdated or incorrect information. I am urging you to take immediate action to either update or delete the reported late payment entries. Continued failure to act would be a direct violation of my rights under federal law. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and expect a timely resolution.

Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.

Complaint narrative:
This account with LVNV Funding LLC was resolved with the help of the CFPB, and I was informed that the matter was closed. However, as of XX/XX/XXXX, it is still appearing on my credit report as a collection account with a balance of {$910.00} and showing 0 % paid. The original balance was {$910.00}, and no payments have been made. The account was opened on XX/XX/XXXX, and the status was last updated in XX/XX/XXXX. I previously disputed this account, and it is marked as such. Despite resolution, the collection status continues to report each month, and I believe this is inaccurate and should be updated or removed.
