Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute the information reported on my credit report regarding my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account. The report shows an open balance for a charged-off account, which raises several concerns that need to be addressed. 
Details of the account are as follows : Date opened : XX/XX/XXXX Status : Account charged off. {$2600.00} written off. {$2400.00} past due as of XXXX XXXX. 

Status updated : XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$2400.00} The credit report shows continuous charge-off status updates, which are listed below : credit report shows continuous charge-off status updates, which are listed below : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I have several points of contention regarding this reporting : 1.How can a charge-off account have an open balance/balance due? If the account is charged off, it should not reflect an open balance.

2.Statute of Limitations on Debt in NJ : According to Section 2A:14-1 of New Jersey state law, the statute of limitations on debt is six years. This statute applies to all kinds of debt, including written, oral, promissory, or open. Given that this account was opened on XX/XX/XXXX and last updated in XX/XX/XXXX, it is beyond the six-year limitation period for legal debt collection. 

Based on these points, I request that you investigate this matter and correct any inaccuracies on my credit report. If the information can not be verified or is found to be inaccurate, it must be removed from my credit report in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Please consider this letter as my formal dispute and take the necessary steps to resolve this issue. I expect a response within 30 days of receipt of this letter. Enclosed are copies of my recent credit report highlighting the disputed item and any supporting documentation. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
Open an credit line with Upgrade. Payments on auto. Payment was blocked for insufficient funds to my surprise. There was a mistake on account on my end. Called weeks later to fix, told be rep no record of such an amount owed or actions taken on said mistakenly missed payment. Report on credit report as delinquent. I called in shock as I was told the payment missed could not be found, called, asked for investigation, was said would happen, fixed the payments missed, was told no record of investigation taking place or filed on my behalf. Operator apparently lied to me! Credit negatively effected unfairly! Tried to fix payment before delinquency occurred but told no record of such payment due. Phone call recording would prove all I say but no investigation done as I was told would be done! Dropped credit line from XXXX to XXXX while XXXX owed at a time when other creditor increased line of credit! Most importantly, delinquent report should not have happened as I reached out to fix issue and in turn given wrong information and lied to about request for investigation! More importantly, creditors online app for payments which caused days delay and return payments and yet they still deemed me delinquent!
