Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because the consumer reporting agency is willfully and negligently violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by continuing to report fraudulent accounts and unauthorized inquiries that resulted from a data breach. Despite my submission of a formal dispute under Section 605B [ 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ] with a sworn affidavit and proof of identity, the agency has failed to block or delete the disputed items within the required four business days. Additionally, the agency has not provided any verifiable proof bearing my signature or electronic signature, as required under Section 604 [ 15 U.S.C. 1681b ], to justify the permissible purpose of these inquiries. These actions violate my consumer rights under federal law.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against American Express for failure to comply with federal debt collection laws under the FDCPA and Regulation F. 

American Express contacted me regarding an alleged debt tied to account # XXXX. However, they failed to send me a legally required written debt validation notice within five ( 5 ) days of their initial communication, as required under 15 U.S. Code 1692g ( a ) and 12 CFR 1006.34 ( Regulation F ).

I never received a validation notice including the amount of the debt, the name of the current creditor, my 30-day dispute rights, or my right to request the original creditor. No itemization of the debt was provided. No mailing confirmation, delivery log, or timestamped document has been submitted proving that a notice was ever sent. 

I formally disputed the debt and requested proof of compliance, including the exact date/time the notice was sent, a copy of the validation letter, and proof of ownership of the alleged debt. As of today, American Express has failed to provide any of the requested documents. 

If they are reporting this debt to any consumer reporting agencies without first complying with Regulation F, that also constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) for furnishing inaccurate or unverified data.
