Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I submitted a dispute letter via certified mail to [ Credit Bureau ( s ) ] regarding multiple negative accounts on my credit report.

The bureau ( s ) responded to that request by stating the accounts were verified as accurate. 

However, these accounts still do not meet the FCRAs standard of maximum possible accuracy, due to factual errors, inconsistent balances, or unsupported reporting. 

The bureau did not provide any method or documentation of how they verified the information, which is required under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) and the duty to maintain reasonable procedures for maximum accuracy Why do i think this is wrong? 
Because even after investigation : No proof of verification method was provided.

Account balances/dates/codes are inconsistent or incomplete.

The bureau failed to follow FCRA 1681i ( a ) and 1681c standards for accuracy and reinvestigation.

Under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ), if a bureau can not verify a disputed item through reliable documentation within 30 days, they must delete the item promptly

Complaint narrative:
These entries remain unverified and questionable. Despite multiple attempts to have these inaccuracies properly investigated and resolved, no meaningful action has been taken. I have submitted all required documentation and followed up repeatedly, yet the errors persist. This ongoing lack of action has caused undue financial hardship and has significantly affected my well-being. The mental and emotional toll of dealing with these unresolved discrepancies has been overwhelming. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a fair and accurate credit report, including the removal of unverifiable or incorrect information. I urge you to take immediate steps to verify and rectify these items, as failure to do so constitutes a violation of my rights under federal law.

Dear Sir or XXXX ; My wife and I have tried for XXXX  years to get this " phone number '' situation fixed.

I have made XXXX contacts per year with Chase Bank during the period XXXX thru XX/XX/XXXX. 
Problem has never once been fixed in all that time.

After all these years and many. many wasted phone calls, I have no desire to give Chase Bank even XXXX more minute of my time. IF they have ANY interest in fixing this problem, it can most certainly be done 100 % from their end. 

It is unreal that we must resort to these lengths to get such a simple matter resolved!!!

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute fraudulent information I have found on my credit report, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, and to request that such information be blocked or removed immediately. I am attaching a copy of my Identity Theft Report issued by the FTC ( FTC REPORT NUMBER : XXXX ) as evidence of my claim. 
According to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, when a consumer submits an identity theft report, credit reporting agencies are required to block any information identified by the consumer as a result of such theft within four ( 4 ) business days.

The following information on my credit report is the result of identity theft and must be blocked : XXXX  XXXX - XXXX Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I respectfully request that this account be immediately blocked from my credit report. This block should remain in effect for a period of one year, after which I may request an extension. During this time, no information may be reported.

I have contacted EXPERIAN multiple times to report these accounts, but I have not received a clear or definitive resolution to help me resolve this situation. This situation is severely affecting me as I am trying to purchase a new home for my children and obtain financial tools to support my economic growth. Having these negative accounts on my credit report has blocked all my opportunities and is causing me personal and financial harm. 
These accounts have already been removed and were not verified by other credit agencies, so I do not understand why this agency continues to assert that these accounts belong to me. 
I have requested copies of the contracts related to these accounts from the reporting company, and after more than 60 days, I have not received any response. I respectfully request your assistance in removing these accounts immediately.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.
