Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau 's intervention in a matter that has significantly affected my financial health and peace of mind. This involves incorrect reporting by Experian and associated mismanagement by XXXX XXXX account erroneously appearing on my credit report. 

Despite my efforts to resolve this through the dispute mechanisms provided by the credit bureau, the information continually returns as " validated, '' even though no conclusive documentationsuch as a copy of my signature or proof of my authorization to open these accounts, or evidence of any transactions madehas ever been provided to me. This refusal to provide documentation and proper verification directly contradicts the requirements stipulated under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

It is critical to highlight that this account was written off and reported as income through XXXX forms. As these debts have been canceled and recognized as income, they should not continue to be listed as consumer debts on my credit report. The failure to remove these items not only contravenes credit reporting standards but also continues to degrade my credit score.

Complaint narrative:
I am a hardworking individual has been diligently paying my accounts on time for the quite a long time. However, upon reviewing my credit report, I discover several instances of late payments recorded by these creditors. Perplexed by this discrepancy, I contacted these creditors to inquire about the inaccuracies. After discussing the matter with a customer service representative and the billing department, it becomes evident that there was a mutual agreement between me and these creditors to adjust the payment schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite adhering to this adjusted schedule, the payments were mistakenly marked as late in the system. Understanding the gravity of the situation, these creditors swiftly acknowledge the error and assures me that the inaccurate late payments will be rectified. Additionally, they offer to provide written documentation of the agreed-upon payment schedule to prevent any future misunderstandings.

She also said it was an account that was from XXXX, and i remember I also had a XXXX XXXXXXXX credit card, but this was after XXXX. She was too busy popping her tongue and being rude. The person on the voicemail was only doing there job and said the number that needed to be called, It was like a game to the women who I spoke to. to figure out what was going on. Apparently, I am being sued for something I have no knowledge of. I filed a police report as well since I had no knowledge of someone having my information and getting an Indigo card. They told me to call back if they arrive here at my home.

Complaint narrative:
Dear [ Recipient ], I am writing to address several concerning issues regarding the handling of my personal information as governed by various sections of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and related statutes.

Firstly, according to 15 USC 1681 section 602 ( a ) of the FCRA, it is imperative that consumer reporting agencies such as XXXX and Experian conduct their operations with fairness, impartiality, and respect for consumers ' privacy rights. As a consumer, I am entitled to ensure that my private information remains secure, as reinforced by 15 USC 6801, which mandates financial institutions to uphold the privacy and confidentiality of customers ' nonpublic personal information.

Under 15 USC 1681 section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), it is explicitly stated that consumer reporting agencies may only furnish consumer reports under circumstances outlined in written instructions from the consumer. I have not provided consent, neither written nor implied, for Experian, or any furnisher of information to credit agencies to share my personal information.

Furthermore, according to 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ), financial institutions are prohibited from disclosing nonpublic personal information to third parties without informing consumers of their right to opt out of such disclosure. I have not been properly informed of this right by the relevant financial institution.

Additionally, the reporting of adverse items of information, such as the account in question, without my consent violates 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ), which restricts consumer reporting agencies from including such information in consumer reports.

Moreover, 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( a ) ( 1 ) prohibits the furnishing of inaccurate information to consumer reporting agencies, and XXXX and Experian are failing to uphold reasonable procedures to prevent violations of the FCRA, as mandated by 15 U.S. Code 1681e.

Finally, under 12 CFR 1016.7, I am exercising my right to opt out of your reporting services effective immediately.

In light of these violations and discrepancies, I expect immediate action to rectify the situation and ensure compliance with all relevant laws and regulations.

Complaint narrative:
A charge off is considered a certificate of indebtedness which means it is income and must be removed. I recently came across information related to charged-off amounts and their implications under the Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ) regulations. According to the IRS Article, a charge-off is considered a certificate of indebtedness. Per the IRS income can not be reported. The IRS Clearly defines a charge off as Gross or Ordinary income, INCOME DOES NOT GET REPORTED ON THE CONSUMER REPORT which in fact makes reporting of this account inaccurate.
