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: LA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request the removal of an account from my credit report as reported by all three credit bureaus. This request is based on the recent deletion of an account by XXXX, one of the four major credit reporting agencies. I recently disputed a charge-o for $ XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX listed on my XXXX report, and following a thorough investigation, XXXX has completely removed this unverifiable debt from my report as of XX/XX/year>. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ), all consumer reporting agencies must ensure that information in consumer reports is accurate, fair, and verifiable.Since XXXX has removed this account after its verification process, I request that you do the same and remove this unverifiable account from my credit report. 

Supporting Consumer Laws : FCRA Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) requires that inaccurate or unverifiable information must be deleted from a consumer 's credit file. I am exercising my right to ensure that my credit report remains fair, accurate, and free of unverifiable information. Since XXXX has deemed this account unverifiable and removed it, you must take similar action. 

Additionally, under FCRA Section 623 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ), information suppliers must report only complete and accurate information. With XXXX having deemed this information unverifiable, I urge you to align its records accordingly. 
Please provide confirmation of this removal within 30 days of receipt of this request. If the account is not removed, I am prepared to pursue further actions, including filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and seeking legal action under the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), including Section 616 ( 15U.S.C. 1681n ), which allows consumers to seek legal recourse for willful non- compliance, and Section 617 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681o ) for negligent non-compliance. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter, as it directly impacts my credit report 's integrity. Please notify me in writing once this deletion has been processed.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute the accuracy of a charge-off listed on my credit report under the account. I have received a 1099-C form for this account, indicating that the debt was canceled. According to the Internal Revenue Code ( IRC ) 6050P, a 1099-C form is issued when a creditor cancels a debt of {$600.00} or more. This means the debt has been legally forgiven and should no longer be reported as a charge-off. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 611 ( a ), I have the right to dispute any information on my credit report that I believe is inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable. As the debt has been canceled and a 1099-C form has been issued, the reporting of this charge-off is both inaccurate and misleading. 
I request that you conduct a reinvestigation of this matter under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and remove the charge-off from my credit report. If the information can not be verified, it must be deleted from my credit file according to FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ). 
Please provide me with written confirmation that this item has been corrected and removed. If you are unable to verify the accuracy of this information, it must be deleted from my credit report as required by law. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your response.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against EXPERIAN for violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ). 
I previously disputed an account MERRICK BANK CORP on my credit report, which was found to be inaccurate and subsequently removed. However, this account has been reinserted into my credit report without any notification from EXPERIAN within the require

d five business days. This action is in direct violation of FCRA Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ), which mandates that consumers must be notified if previously removed information is to be r
einserted into their credit report. The lack of notification has caused unnecessary stress and potential harm to my credit standing. EXPERIAN failed to conduct a reasonable investigation under FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), that require to investigate disputed information and provide evidence supporting the validity of the account. Failure to Provide Verification of the Account : As per FCRA 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ), I am entitled to receive documentation verifying the account 's legitimacy. EXPERIAN has not provided any evidence, such as the original account application, signatures, method of verification, or any other proof linking me to this account. Failure to Address Identity Theft Claim Properly : Under FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), a consumer who provides a valid identity theft report ( such as an FTC Identity Theft Report ) and proof of identity is entitled to have fraudulent accounts blocked from their credit reports. I have submitted all necessary documentation, but EXPERIAN has not acted on my request to delete the account or explain why they failed to do so. 
I have already contacted EXPERIAN regarding this issue but have not received a satisfactory resolution. Therefore, I am seeking your assistance to ensure that EXPERIAN complies with FCRA regulations and corrects this issue immediately. 
Attached are copies of all relevant correspondence, including my initial dispute letter, confirmation of the account 's removal, and my recent dispute regarding the unauthorized reinsertion. 
I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to your assistance in resolving this issue. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

MIDLAND CREDIT MANAGEM called me and said I have to pay that debt i told them that I refuse to pay because I am not responsible for this debt, i also told them to send me the original contract with my signature on the original contract that I signed but until MIDLAND CREDIT MANAGEM, proved me with the original contract they have to remove asap from my credit reports. 15 U.S.C 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 : It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions 15 U.S.C 1692C Without the prior consent of the consumer given directly to the debt collector or the express permission of a court of competent jurisdiction, a debt collector may not communicate with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt This item was purchased by a Third Party Debt Collector ( MIDLAND CREDIT MANAGEM ). This account must be deleted as the status is not correct, the amount is not accurate, and the account was paid for less than owed by the Third Party Debt Collector. 

As you can see from my credit reports and highlighted issues. 

This information is NOT CORRECT & NOT ACCURATE. Therefore it must be DELETED IMMEDIATELY. 

Here is the account name : MIDLAND CREDIT MANAGEM and Account number : XXXX for reference and incorrect amount also. 

How much did the collection company pay for this item? I don't know and neither does my credit report reflect such amounts. This is a clear violation of the FCRA as this is not accurate or complete. 

DELETE THIS IMMEDIATELY! 

Thanks,

Company: LJ Ross Associates
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I sent a written request to L J Ross Associates under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), asking them to validate a {$910.00} debt they claim I owe to XXXX. Specifically, I requested proof that they have legal authority to collect the debt, a signed agreement showing my obligation to repay, and a full account history detailing how the balance was calculated. 

L J Ross Associates provided incomplete documentation that failed to meet these requirements. They did not provide evidence of legal authority, a signed agreement, or a clear breakdown of the balance. Despite this, the debt remains on my credit report, negatively impacting my credit score. 

I believe this is a violation of the FDCPA and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires accurate and verifiable information on my credit report. I am requesting an investigation and the removal of this account if it can not be properly verified.
