Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Experian credit report is showing a medical charge under {$500.00}. In their dispute form you have a couple sentences to dispute but nothing more. I tried calling and their automated message hung up on me over 5x. They will not let you talk to a live person to resolve this issue. 

____________ I am writing to formally dispute the medical collection account listed on my credit report in the amount of {$150.00}, reported on XX/XX/XXXX. 

According to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and updated policies from XXXX, Experian, and XXXX ( effective XX/XX/XXXX ), medical debt under {$500.00} is no longer eligible to be included on consumer credit reports. 

This collection entry violates those guidelines and is causing inaccurate harm to my credit profile. 

I respectfully request that you : Investigate this account Confirm that it is a medical debt under {$500.00} Remove it from my credit report immediately in accordance with updated credit bureau reporting policies. 


Relevant source : CFPB statement : As of XX/XX/XXXX, the credit reporting agencies XXXX XXXX, Experian, XXXX XXXX ) no longer include medical collection debt under {$500.00} on consumer credit reports. 
Link to official CFPB source Please send written confirmation once this account has been deleted. Thank you.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
XXXX is the original creditor for my XXXX XXXX account, not a third-party debt collector. However, their collections department sent threatening correspondence that mimicked collection agency tactics, including references tXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  and credit reporting. They did not identify as a debt collector or provide FDCPA disclosures, yet they implied serious consequences if I didnt agree to a voluntary repayment plan. 

I signed that repayment agreement in XX/XX/year>, agreeing to pay the full balance. Since then, I have paid on time and in excess of the required monthly amount. XXXX not in defaultIm catching up per the terms. I am paying the original creditor directly. 

Despite this, XXXX reported the account to Experian as XXXX days delinquent. They omitted my repayment plan, did not show my consistent payments, and excluded all prior positive account history. I disputed this twice : First dispute : I explained the repayment agreement and asked them to show the account as paying as agreed they completely denied the dispute. 

Second dispute : I requested that they include the years of on-time history and acknowledge the repayment activity instead, they added XXXX days late without correcting or restoring any payment history. This feels retaliatory, not corrective. 

Their reporting is materially misleading under FCRA XXXX ( b ), and Experians continued verification without evidence violates FCRA XXXX ( a ). The creditor threatened consequences to get me into a plan, then reported me as delinquent anyway and worse after I disputed.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: UT

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute several unauthorized inquiries on my credit report, in accordance with my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically sections 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ), and 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ).

After reviewing my recent credit report, I have identified the following inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize : Disputed Inquiries : XXXX. XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Experian XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XX/XX/XXXX Experian XXXX. XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Experian XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Experian XXXX. XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Experian Basis for Dispute : Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) states that I have the right to dispute any inaccurate or incomplete information on my credit report. I request that you investigate these unauthorized inquiries and remove them from my credit report.

Section 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ) grants me the right to access all information in my file, including the inquiries made. After reviewing this information, I firmly believe that the inquiries listed above should not be on my report.

Section 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) defines the permissible purposes for obtaining credit reports. I did not give my consent for these inquiries to be made, and I can not find a permissible purpose under this section that justifies their presence on my report.

Request I request an immediate investigation into the listed inquiries. If it is determined that these inquiries were made without my authorization or in error, I ask that they be removed from my credit report. I also request that you provide me with an updated copy of my credit report once the necessary corrections have been made.

Enclosed is a copy of my identification to verify my identity.

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Please confirm receipt of this letter and keep me informed of the progress of your investigation.

My ac

count was never late! I have had exceptional payment history 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.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b a
nd 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.

Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).
