Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
It is crucial that consumer reporting agencies uphold their grave responsibilities when it comes to the handling of consumers personal credit files. After performing a re-investigation upon my credit file for accounts XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX pursuant to 15 USC 1681ia1a, your company failed to follow proper procedures in regard to correspondence to me the consumer, in the handling of the reinvestigation. As clearly outlined within, 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ) ; 15 U.S. Code 1681i - Procedure in case of disputed accuracy Subchapter 7 states the following ; ( 7 ) Description of reinvestigation procedure A consumer reporting agency shall provide to a consumer a detailed description referred to in paragraph ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) by not later than 15 days after receiving a request from the consumer for that description. Further outlined within 15 USC ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) ; ( 6 ) Notice of results of reinvestigation ( A ) In general A consumer reporting agency shall provide written notice to a consumer of the results of a reinvestigation under this subsection not later than 5 business days after the completion of the reinvestigation, by mail or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by other means available to the agency. ( iii ) a notice that, if requested by the consumer, a description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information shall be provided to the consumer by the agency, including the business name and address of any furnisher of information contacted in connection with such information and the telephone number of such furnisher, if reasonably available. The correspondence mentioned above was NEVER made to me and therefore, your company is in direct violation of the FCRA and is now liable for monetary damages detailed within 15 USC 1681n and 15 USC 1681o. Not only was a proper reinvestigation not performed as the derogatory account mentioned is erroneous to begin with, your agency failed to follow the FCRAs clear rules in the handling of correspondence to me in association with the account in question. Please delete this erroneous account as I have sought legal counsel in this matter and intend on seeking damages associated with this complaint if this issue is not resolved. Thank you for your time.

Complaint narrative:
I recently submitted a request for investigation of the above noted account, which you denied. I submitted sufficient information for you perform a reasonable investigation of my dispute. Unfortunately, you neglected to do so. If you had investigated properly the results would have proven that I have never been late on this account though your company claims to have verified this. 
Depending solely on your flawed e-Oscar system has proven to produce less than accurate and fair information. I request thatyou take a more active and accurate approach to investigate this for me. As in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldn't merely " parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have to conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty/integrity of the XXXX in question. Sending out a generic form letter through the e-Oscar system that does not even contain my reasons for the dispute is by no ones measure reasonable.

Complaint narrative:
Re : Formal Dispute of Account Balance - XXXX Account Ending in XXXX To Whom It May Concern : I am writing to formally dispute the reported balance associated with the above-referenced account. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to dispute inaccurate information on my credit report. The balance reported for this account is incorrect, and I am requesting a thorough investigation and correction. 

This account was charged off by XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) and is now under the purview of XXXX XXXX XXXX for collection. A charged-off account is recognized as a financial loss for the original creditor, and, under generally accepted accounting principles, XXXX should no longer report any balance due. Therefore, the balance should reflect XXXX, and any continued reporting of this balance by XXXX is misleading and inaccurate. 

Furthermore, I have noted that XXXX has been engaging in a predatory and fraudulent practice by continuously re-reporting late payments every month on this closed and charged-off account. This is not only a violation of the FCRA but also an unethical and deceptive tactic aimed at damaging my creditworthiness. These actions undermine the integrity of credit reporting and constitute fraudulent behavior on the part of XXXX. 

Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I also request that XXXX XXXX XXXX provide full validation of this debt, including : XXXX. Documentation proving the accuracy of the amount claimed. 
XXXX. A detailed explanation of why XXXX is reporting a balance despite the account being charged off. 
XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to collect this debt. 

If XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX can not substantiate the claims regarding this account, I respectfully request that : XXXX. XXXX immediately update its records to reflect a XXXX balance on this account and cease any further re-reporting of late payments. 
XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX halt all collection activity on this account, in accordance with the FDCPA. 

Please respond to this dispute within the legally mandated time frame as required by the FCRA. Additionally, I demand that you refrain from reporting this debt or any associated balance to any credit reporting agencies while this dispute is under investigation. 

Your prompt attention to this matter is appreciated. Please provide all correspondence in writing to the address listed above.

RE : Late Payment Improperly Reported- I XXXX XXXX have a RIGHT TO PRIVACY under 15 USC 1681A ( 4 ) as a federally protected consumer and I know my rights presented under the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly outlined within 15 USC 1681. 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 and 15 USC 1681o, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent. I was reviewing my consumer reports and noticed XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX on my credit report that need be immediately updated to paid as agreed. My Consumer rights have been violated by XXXX, XXXX, XXXX. Experian, XXXX, XXXX has violated my consumer rights and violated federal law. This is now multiple attempts to notify you of this erroneous error on the part of your agency. This erroneous late payment is affecting my ability to obtain a loan to save my business from crumbling and also blocking me from the housing that I so desperately need for myself and my family. Please change this to paid as agreed immediately so that I may proceed with my life, or I may be forced to seek legal damages against your agency as I already have sought legal counsel in this more than important matter. Thank you.
