Consumer complaint received 2025-02-28 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this formal complaint against Experian regarding the inaccurate, unauthorized, and damaging information reported on my consumer file. I received my consumer file report from Experian on XX/XX/XXXX ( Consumer File # XXXX ), and after thoroughly reviewing the information, I found that Experian has failed to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of my credit report, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Despite my previous disputes and reinvestigation requests, Experian continues to report false and unauthorized information on my file, violating my consumer rights. Specifically : The reported accounts were added without my written authorization, violating 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which requires a permissible purpose for furnishing credit information. 
Experian has knowingly transferred, possessed, or used my consumer data without lawful authority, which is a violation of 18 U.S.C. 1028A. 
Experian failed to conduct a proper reinvestigation and merely parroted the information provided by furnishers without verifying its accuracy, violating FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ).

The failure to remove these inaccurate accounts is an act of willful noncompliance, as affirmed in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ), where the courts ruled that credit bureaus must conduct independent investigations beyond merely relying on furnishers. 
DEMAND FOR IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE ACTION I request that the CFPB intervene and ensure that Experian : Immediately deletes all inaccurate, unauthorized, and unverifiable information from my consumer file. 
Provides full details on their verification methods, including the procedures used to verify these disputed accounts. 
Ensures compliance with federal consumer protection laws and ceases further unlawful reporting practices. 
Experians negligence and failure to comply with federal laws have caused financial harm and undue distress. If this matter is not resolved promptly, I am prepared to escalate my complaint to the appropriate regulatory and legal channels. 

I appreciate the CFPBs attention to this matter and request swift action to enforce my rights under the FCRA. Please provide a response detailing the actions taken to resolve this issue. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

I filed a dispute regarding incorrect information on my credit report. However, I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming my disputes came from a third party, which is not true. I even called to verify my identity, yet they still refused to process my disputes. I spent money mailing my disputes and provided personal information to verify my identity, only for them to dismiss my request without a proper investigation.

Complaint narrative:
Warning Regarding Stall Tactics in Credit Dispute Investigations To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally notify you that I am fully aware of the use of stall letters as a tactic to delay the proper investigation of credit report disputes under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I want to be clear that any attempts to use such tactics will be considered a violation of my rights as a consumer under the FCRA. 
I have provided all the necessary documentation to verify my identity and the legitimacy of my disputes, including [ list documents : copy of ID, social security card, proof of address ]. 
Therefore, I expect that my dispute will be properly investigated within the timeframe mandated by the FCRA.

FCRA 1681i requires that credit reporting agencies conduct a reinvestigation of disputed items, and failure to do so in a timely and thorough manner will result in a legal response to protect my rights. I will not tolerate any attempts to delay or avoid a legitimate investigation through the use of unnecessary or unwarranted stall tactics. 
Please ensure that this matter is handled swiftly and in compliance with federal regulations. 
If my rights are violated again by any further stall tactics, I will pursue legal action to seek appropriate remedies under the law. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matte

Subject : Demand for Reinvestigation and Verification Methods Under FCRA Notice of Intent to Sue To Whom It May Concern, Account - XXXX ( Fraudulent ) Report Number XXXX Date Generated XX/XX/year> I am writing to formally dispute the fraudulent account reported on my credit file, which has been inaccurately investigated and verified. This letter serves as a demand for a reinvestigation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ), which requires a proper and reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information.

Upon my previous dispute, you claimed that this account was verified as accurate. However, under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ), data furnishers are legally required to conduct a reasonable investigation into disputed accounts, and credit reporting agencies must ensure the accuracy of reported information. I hereby request that you provide the following within the legally mandated timeframe : 1. A detailed explanation of the methods used to verify this account and the parties contacted during the verification process.

2. All records and documents used to verify the legitimacy of this account.

3. Proof of my consent or authorization for the alleged account, including any signed agreements or identifying details.

4. The name, address, and contact details of the entity that reported this fraudulent account.

Failure to properly investigate and correct this fraudulent reporting constitutes a violation of my rights under the FCRA. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 15 U.S.C. 1681o, I am entitled to pursue legal action for damages resulting from willful or negligent noncompliance, including actual damages, statutory damages, punitive damages, and attorney fees.

If I do not receive a satisfactory response within 30 days as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), I will have no choice but to escalate this matter through legal channels, including filing a lawsuit and reporting this violation to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and my states Attorney Generals office. 
This letter serves as an official notice of intent to sue should you fail to comply with your legal obligations. I expect a prompt response, including the requested verification details and a resolution to this matter, to avoid further legal actions. 
Sincerely,
