Consumer complaint received 2025-09-19 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am escalating this issue because Capital Ones investigation continuously fails to resolve the substantive violations raised and in fact, confirms that the tradeline is being furnished in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 U.S.C. 1681 and XXXX XXXX reporting standards. 

Capital Ones letter states that the account was charged off on XX/XX/year>, for {$260.00}, while simultaneously reporting a current balance of {$160.00}. A charged-off account can not continue to carry a fluctuating or current balance. This internal contradiction renders the tradeline inherently unreliable and violative of FCRA 1681e ( b ), which requires that information furnished to CRAs be accurate and not misleading.

Capital One admits the account is reported as charged off while still showing a past due balance and utilization percentage. Under Metro 2 guidelines, a charged-off/closed account must not simultaneously report as past due or with open utilization. This dual reporting is misleading, punitive, and directly inconsistent with accepted reporting standards. The FCRA does not permit the furnishing of contradictory or incomplete data.

Pursuant to FCRA 609 and 611, a furnisher must provide verifiable documentation when the accuracy of a tradeline is disputed. Capital One admits no signed agreement exists, only that the account was opened online. Unsupported assertions do not satisfy the verification requirement. Without the original agreement and complete substantiating records, the account can not be verified and must be deleted under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ). 

Capital One did not address the fact that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  each display conflicting late-payment coding and status information. By allowing materially different and incomplete reporting across CRAs, Capital One is furnishing data that is inaccurate by definition under FCRA 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). The duty of accuracy requires uniformity ; anything less is noncompliant.

Capital One has now received multiple disputes yet continues to furnish contradictory and unverifiable information. This constitutes willful noncompliance under FCRA 1681n and negligent noncompliance under 1681o, exposing Capital One to statutory and actual damages. Their continued refusal to correct or delete after notice evidences bad faith.

Because Capital One has failed to verify the account with proper documentation, admitted to contradictory balances, and continues to furnish misleading data across CRAs, the only lawful resolution under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) is outright deletion of the tradeline. 

I respectfully request that the CFPB exercise its enforcement authority to require deletion of this account from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Any lesser remedy would perpetuate systemic inaccuracies and ongoing consumer harm.

Complaint narrative:
IQ Data is attempting to collect a debt that I do not owe. The debt is incorrectly reported as joint, but I am the sole signer on the lease. IQ Data never contacted me prior to reporting or attempting collection of this debt. 

I submitted a request for verification on XX/XX/year> asking for a signed lease and any supporting documentation proving that I am legally responsible for this debt. IQ Data has failed to provide any verification. Despite my prior complaints to IQ Data and the CFPB, the issue has not been corrected, and prior complaints were closed or ignored without resolution.

I am formally disputing this debt and demands that IQ Data immediately cease all collection attempts and correct all inaccurate reporting to all credit reporting agencies. If this issue is not fully resolved this time, I will take legal action against IQ Data for attempting to collect a debt that is not mine and for violating my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

I am writing to formally contest the presence of a fraudulent account on my credit reports, linked to identity theft, and to demand immediate action in accordance with my rights as a consumer. 

Several years ago, I experienced a traumatic incident at XXXX Florida 's Airport when my wallet and luggage were lost, containing my driver 's license, Social Security card, and several credit cards. Despite extensive efforts to recover these items, I was unable to do so. Recently, I discovered multiple fraudulent accounts on my credit report that I did not open.

Additionally, I am a victim of the XXXX data breach, a breach that has further exacerbated the challenges I face as a consumer. It is unfair that my data has been breached and that I am now struggling with the ramifications of this identity theft. It feels unjust to have these negative accounts hanging over my head, impeding my ability to move forward with my financial life. 

I have filed a police report regarding this matter, and I have attached a copy for your review. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I am entitled to have these fraudulent accounts investigated and removed promptly.
