Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

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.

Im beyond frustrated with the continued presence of false, damaging information on my Equifax credit report. These aren't minor oversights or accidental typosthey are substantial and harmful misrepresentations that continue to sabotage my financial progress and personal stability.

This isnt a requestits a demand for compliance. If you continue to ignore my concerns, I will treat this as a willful violation of my rights and take further action to hold you accountable.

State: AR

Complaint narrative:
This is a formal follow-up regarding my previous disputes concerning the fraudulent accounts appearing on my credit report. I did not authorize these accounts, and their continued reporting constitutes a serious violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
Despite months of disputes and the submission of supporting documentation, including my FTC Identity Theft Report, these false and inaccurate entries remain on my report. The FCRA requires that consumer reporting agencies ensure maximum possible accuracy. Your failure to remove these fraudulent accounts after receiving proper notice and documentation raises serious compliance concerns. 
I demand immediate corrective action to permanently delete these accounts from my credit file without further delay. If these accounts are not removed promptly, I will have no choice but to escalate this matter, which may include filing complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and pursuing all other remedies available under the law. 
This is your final opportunity to comply before further action is taken.
