Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
This is a follow-up to my previous complaint regarding the inaccurate and unauthorized reporting of an XXXX account ( Account XXXX. XXXX ) by Experian. Im disappointed and frustrated that even after filing multiple disputes, including my last formal complaint to the CFPB, the account is still showing up on my report as of today. Ive refreshed my credit file, and absolutely nothing has been done. No update, no correction, no removal, just silence. 

Experian continues to report this account without my written authorization, which is a clear violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( Permissible Purpose ). This is another follow-up. Ive disputed this same issue, and Experian has chosen to ignore it every single time. Thats not just negligence, its willful noncompliance under 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o, making them fully liable for civil damages. 

The data theyre reporting also fails the maximum possible accuracy standard under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). Equifax doesnt even report this account, and XXXX  shows different, conflicting information. That inconsistency proves Experian didnt verify this correctly, if they even verified it at all. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ), I am once again requesting a full description of the procedure used to verify this account and determine its accuracy. Theyre required by law to provide this, and I havent received anything.

This unauthorized reported account is not just a technical error ; its affecting my ability to secure business financing and housing for my family. Ive already consulted legal counsel, and I'm prepared to escalate this through legal action if necessary.

Im asking the CFPB to take enforcement action, as Experian is clearly not complying with the FCRA. Their lack of action after repeated notice and documentation is unacceptable and has caused me financial and emotional harm. I want this account deleted immediately, and I want written confirmation that this has been resolved.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to you regarding a violation of my privacy and confidentiality rights, protected under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681b ( 2 ) ). Pursuant to 18 USC 8, I have identified the following accounts that have breached these legal provisions : Under 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( 2 ), a consumer reporting agency may only provide a consumers credit report with the consumers explicit written authorization. The following accounts have accessed or reported on my credit profile without my consent, which constitutes a clear violation of this provision : XXXX XXXX XXXX  Account # : XXXXXXXX XXXX Account # : XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Account # : XXXXXXXX XXXX  Account # : XXXX XXXX  Account # : XXXXXXXX XXXX Account # : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/year> XXXX. Reporting of Obsolete Information Violation of 15 USC 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ) Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ), no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes, which antedates the report by more than seven years.

3. Right to Privacy Section 602 ( A ) of the FCRA The FCRA, under Section 602 ( A ), clearly states that the consumer has a right to privacy with respect to the disclosure of their personal information. Any release or reporting of information without legal cause or consumer consent violates this right and must be addressed accordingly.

4. Inaccurate or Unverified Information 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), no person shall furnish information to a consumer reporting agency if that person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. According to 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ), once notified of such inaccuracy by the consumer, the furnisher has an obligation to either correct or remove the inaccurate data.

I hereby notify you that the information associated with the above referenced accounts is inaccurate, obsolete, or both.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

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.

Company: ONLINE Information Services, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the collection account that Online Information Service is reporting to the credit bureaus regarding an alleged debt from XXXX XXXX XXXX Upon recently reviewing my credit reports, I was shocked to find this account listed. I have no knowledge or record of ever holding an account with XXXX XXXX XXXX, nor have I received any prior communication from your officeincluding but not limited to a phone call, text message, email, or the XXXX notice required by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). This lack of notification raises serious concerns regarding the legitimacy, accuracy, and ownership of this alleged debt. This erroneous reporting has caused me significant harm, including difficulty obtaining credit and jeopardizing my pending home loan application. Under the FDCPA, I have the right to request to dispute its validity. Given that I have not received any required notice or verification as outlined under 15 U.S.C. 1692g, this collection account appears to be in violation of federal law.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX  and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

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.
