Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: KS

Complaint narrative:
I am writing because my dispute has not been properly handled, and it is clear that your bureau has failed to follow the law under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 4 ), which requires you to give full consideration to all relevant information I provide as a consumer. 

I submitted supporting documents and explanations to show that the account and information in question are inaccurate. Instead of addressing the evidence I sent, your response appeared to be nothing more than a surface-level verification from the furnisher. This is not compliance with the law. The statute explicitly states that consumer-provided information must be considered during an investigation. By ignoring the materials I submitted, you are in direct violation of federal law and my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

The presence of this inaccurate information continues to harm melowering my credit score, damaging my reputation, and interfering with my ability to access fair credit opportunities. You are required to conduct a proper reinvestigation that includes my documentation, not just a rubber-stamp validation from the furnisher.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
A collection account is being reported on my credit file that has not been properly validated. I exercised my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) by requesting validation of the alleged debt. The furnisher failed to provide any legitimate documentation proving that the debt is mine, that the amount is accurate, or that they have the legal authority to collect it. 
Despite the lack of verification, this account continues to appear on my credit report, which constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requiring only accurate and verifiable information to be reported. The continued reporting of an unvalidated account is inaccurate and misleading.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
This letter is a formal notice of dispute under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) regarding inaccurately reported late payment dates on the above-referenced account appearing in my credit file. 
The reported derogatory payment data is factually and legally incorrect and constitutes a violation of my rights under multiple federal statutes. 
Creditor Name : [ XXXX  XXXX ] Account Number : [ XXXX ] FCRA SECTION 602 RIGHT TO PRIVACY ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ) Under the FCRA, I have a right to privacy in the handling and dissemination of my credit information. The credit bureau is not permitted to report data that is inaccurate, unverifiable, or misleading, especially when such reporting creates a false impression of delinquency. 
FCRA SECTION 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) NO WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION GIVEN ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), consumer reporting agencies are prohibited from furnishing account information without the consumers written instructions. I have never given written authorization for the dissemination of false or misleading late payment information. 
TILA SECTION 1666b IMPROPER LATE PAYMENT DESIGNATION ( 15 U.S.C. 1666b ) According to the Truth in Lending Act, a creditor may not treat a payment on an open-end credit account as late for any purpose if received by the due date or within the grace period. 
Reporting a late payment that was not legally late is a blatant violation of this federal protection and exposes both the data furnisher and the credit reporting agency to liability under 15 U.S.C.

1681i.
