Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: Kovo
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Upon further investigation, I have retained new copies of my credit reports, and noticed that you did not furnish the credit bureaus with the required disclosure, within the period required by law. You are required by federal law to place a notice of dispute on my account within 30 days of my dispute, which you signed for on XX/XX/year>. I have retained a copy of your signature and date of receipt, as well as a time-stamped copy of my credit reports, showing that you have violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 623 ( a ) ( 3 ) and/or the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Section 807 ( 8 ) by not placing the disclosure within the required 30-day period. 
Be aware that I am making a final goodwill attempt to have you clear up this matter. The listed item is entirely inaccurate and incomplete, and represents a very serious error in your reporting. 
I am maintaining a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Attorney Generals office, should you continue in your non-compliance of federal laws under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 
I further remind you that you may be liable for your willful noncompliance, as per FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 3 ) - Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies [ 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ] ( 3 ) Duty to provide notice of dispute. If the completeness or accuracy of any information furnished by any person to any consumer reporting agency is disputed to such person by a consumer, the person may not furnish the information to any consumer reporting agency without notice that such information is disputed by the consumer. 
( B ) Time of Notice ( I ) The notice required under subparagraph ( A ) shall be provided to the customer prior to, or no later than 30 days after, furnishing the negative information to a consumer reporting agency described in section 603 ( p ). 
As you have violated federal law, by not properly providing the credit bureaus with proper notice within the required timeframe, and I have evidence of such, via certified mail receipts, you must now remove the item. Any other action ( or inaction ) on your behalf may result in a small claims action against your company. 
I would be seeking a minimum of {$1000.00} in damages per violation for : Defamation Negligent Enablement of Identity Fraud Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( including but not limited to Section 807-8 ) Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( including but not limited to Section 623-a-3 ) You will be required to appear in a court venue local to me, in order to formally defend yourself.

Complaint narrative:
I have taken steps to address this issue by reporting the fraudulent inquiries appearing on my consumer report. Your actions have caused me significant mental and financial distress by placing an inquiry on my account that I neither authorized nor am responsible for. As a victim of identity theft, I expect this matter to be resolved promptly and properly. Failure to do so may lead me to pursue legal action. 

Due to these inaccurate and fraudulent items, I have been unable to purchase my dream car or adequately provide for my family. Please find attached a copy of a letter I previously sent regarding this matter.

Complaint narrative:
Complaint Regarding Violation of FCRA Rights by Experian and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Dear CFPB : I am writing to formally file a complaint against Experian and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for their violation of my rights as a consumer under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The specifics of this complaint are detailed below. On XX/XX/XXXX I disputed an account reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, with the original creditor being XXXX XXXX, on my Experian credit report. The dispute in question was investigated and closed in under 24 hours, which strongly suggests that a proper and thorough investigation was not conducted by Experian, in direct violation of FCRA laws. 
The fact that Experian closed my dispute within 24 hours shows a lack of diligence in their investigation process, as they are required by law to conduct a reasonable investigation under the FCRA. This cursory action disregards my rights as a consumer and violates the obligation of credit reporting agencies to fully investigate disputes. in accordance with 15 U.S.C. 1681i.And a Violation of FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ) Re-Aging of Debt : Upon reviewing my credit report obtained from Experian, I found that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX failed to report the date of first delinquency as required by law. The first date of delinquency, which should be XX/XX/XXXX, has not been reported. Instead, they listed the account as being opened on XX/XX/XXXX, which constitutes a clear case of re-aging, an illegal practice under the FCRA. This misrepresentation extends the time that the debt remains on my credit report and causes undue harm to my credit score and financial reputation. Due to these violations of my rights as a consumer, I respectfully request the following actions be taken : Immediate deletion of the account reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX from all 3 of my credit reports. Compensation from both Experian and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for their negligence and violations of federal law, specifically related to my rights under the FCRA. A full investigation into the actions of both parties, including whether Experian has violated its duty to properly investigate disputes and whether XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has intentionally engaged in the illegal re-aging of debt. If this matter is not resolved to my satisfaction within a timely manner, I will not hesitate to retain legal counsel to pursue further actions for the willful violations of my rights under the FCRA.Thank you for your time and attention to this serious matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution.
