Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because Experian has failed to meet its legal obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report. Despite my multiple attempts to dispute inaccuracies, Experian has left inaccurate and/or unverifiable accounts unresolved, negatively impacting my credit profile and financial stability.

Experians handling of my dispute aligns with systemic failures recently highlighted in the Consumer Financial Protection Bureaus ( CFPB ) lawsuit against Experian. According to the CFPB, Experian has a pattern of : Failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers for review ; Accepting unreliable or incomplete responses from furnishers without adequate verification ; and Failing to provide consumers with adequate notification or details regarding the outcomes of their disputes. 



These issues are consistent with my experience. Despite providing clear documentation to support my dispute, Experian has neither corrected the inaccuracies nor removed unverifiable accounts. Additionally, I was not informed of how my evidence was reviewed or why the dispute was denied. This lack of transparency and due diligence violates the FCRAs requirements for a fair and reasonable reinvestigation process. 



I am requesting the CFPBs intervention to ensure that Experian complies with federal laws, conducts a thorough reinvestigation of my dispute, and provides a clear resolution to these issues. Their failure to uphold their legal responsibilities has caused ongoing harm, and I urge swift action to address their noncompliance.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.
