Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing once again regarding the fraudulent account that continues to appear on my credit report. Despite my repeated efforts to resolve this matter, this unauthorized entry is still being reported. This situation is extremely frustrating and concerning, especially considering how long it has persisted without resolution. I have also noticed that some of my personal information on the report is inaccurate, which appears to be contributing to this false account showing under my name. I am a verified victim of identity theft, and my information was used fraudulently. As a result, I am now seeing an account on my credit report that I have never been associated with. As instructed by Experian, I filed an FTC Identity Theft Report and submitted the proper documentation, yet this fraudulent item still remains

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file! 

All of the aforementioned accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud. I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be no confusion or stall tactics on your end.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Public record information inaccurate
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion continue to report a Federal Bankruptcy record that is unverifiable, inconsistent, and in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Metro2 compliance standards. Each bureau lists different case numbers, filing courts, and filing dates for what is purported to be the same bankruptcy, demonstrating a lack of verifiable data integrity. 

Equifax lists Case # XXXX, filed XX/XX/XXXX, labeled Federal. 

Experian lists Case # XXXX, filed XX/XX/XXXX, discharged XX/XX/XXXX, court listed as XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

TransUnion lists Case # XXXX, filed XX/XX/XXXX, discharged XX/XX/XXXX, court listed as U.S. Bankruptcy Court. 

These differences violate XXXX Section 6.3, which mandates consistent and identical data reporting across repositories. The inconsistencies also violate FCRA 607 ( b ) ( requirement of maximum possible accuracy ) and 611 ( a ) ( requirement for a reasonable reinvestigation using verifiable sources ). 

Legal Basis of the Complaint The U.S. Bankruptcy Court does not furnish data to consumer reporting agencies. Both XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) have admitted under CFPB investigation that they obtain public records indirectly from PACER, a non-government vendor database, meaning they are secondary resellers without authority to verify or furnish consumer data. 

Reporting unverifiable or inconsistent data constitutes FCRA violations under : 607 ( b ) : Failure to maintain maximum possible accuracy 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) : Failure to perform a reasonable reinvestigation 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) : Furnishing data known to be inaccurate 604 : Lack of permissible purpose to continue publishing a discharged bankruptcy Furthermore, all three bureaus are in violation of CFPB Consent Orders ( XXXX ) which require them to verify all public records directly from the original court source or remove them entirely.

Complaint narrative:
Experian and Equifax has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit R Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian and Equifax, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian and Equifax has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian and Equifax inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
