Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I trust this correspondence finds you in good health. I am writing to bring to your attention a troubling discrepancy within my credit report concerning late payments associated with my accounts. Upon meticulous review of my report, I have identified instances where late payments have been inaccurately recorded, adversely affecting my credit standing. Upon contacting the companies linked to these accounts, they acknowledged a fault on their part. They have committed to rectifying the error by updating and amending my accounts to accurately reflect my payment history. They attributed these inaccuracies to a system glitch that led to the erroneous reporting of late payments. It is perplexing to me that while other credit bureaus have already rectified the status of these accounts, your bureau continues to report these late payments. This disparity in reporting raises doubts regarding the verification protocols employed by your bureau to ensure the precision of reported information.

I have XXXX, another new one over this past Saturday, fraudulent charges on my account. I completed the process of reporting fraud, received new cards, however, Albert will not return my funds though I never made the transaction. Their finds are not accurate, because I am aware of my balance and report fraud charges on my account, I do not get my money back? How is that right? I have reached put to Albert and they only allow texting, can not speak to a person, especially about fraud, all through text. It's not right! However, what's not right is my hard earned money is not coming back to me and yet I never made the charges I am submitting for and have disputed.
