Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
There is a debt on my credit report that I have disputed that was not deleted after asking for the debt to be validated. It was verified without sending me any information on how it was confirmed. I sent this letter to the credit bureaus on XXXX/XXXX/2022. The debt amount is XXXX this debt was bought by a third-party collection agency. I would like this debt deleted from my credit report because I understand that under 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1681i ( a ), you must complete this reinvestigation within 30 days of receipt of a letter. It was not done in that time frame and also the debt was never verified as being mine debt and I never received verification on how it was verified it just was updated and I was supposed to just accept it and or pay it. I want it deleted immediately.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have disputed incorrect information on my credit report with Experian several times and they have not made changes. I finally called the original creditors and they told me that Experian never contacted them. This has happened with different accounts. Experian does not contact anyone to confirm information but just tells you that the information has been verified when it has not been. Most recently I paid a debt collector on two accounts which went by the wayside due to my husband 's passing. XXXX XXXX sent me an email confirming payment and also advised Experian to delete their tradeline from my credit reports. Experian has done nothing to resolve this, and it is keeping me from getting housing. I am XXXX old and XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX if Experian does not make the necessary corrections on my report. I recently had one issue corrected myself and it was removed immediately by the original creditor. I had reported this to Experian several times and they did nothing except tell me the account was verified when, in fact, it had not been. I have a zero balance on my bank credit card which I verified with the bank but Experian reported a balance for several months. PLEASE HELP ME. They must remove XXXX XXXX per their request. These errors are hurting me. None of the credit bureaus make corrections in a timely manner. Thank you for your help.
