Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

Complaint narrative:
I'm disputing a tradeline for a charged-off XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX that was purchased by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX The original account was opened on XX/XX/XXXX, and the first reported delinquency occurred in XX/XX/XXXX, according to XXXX payment history. 

In accordance with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX imposes a XXXX XXXX of limitations on debts. Because more than XXXX years have passed since the first delinquency, this debt is time-barred and legally unenforceable. However, XXXX XXXX XXXX continues to report this account as past due on my credit report. This violates my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and possibly the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

Additionally, XXXX XXXX XXXX has not provided chain of custody documentation verifying the legal validity or ownership of the debt since purchase. I requested full documentation, including : Proof of original creditor transfer Date of last activity Post-default account history I stated in my dispute that this letter is not an admission of debt, and I requested that the account be marked as disputed with all CRAs during investigation. These requests have not been honored, and I have not received verification within the required XXXX period. 

What resolution are you seeking? Im requesting : Full deletion of the XXXX XXXX XXXX tradeline and associated XXXX XXXX entry from my credit report. 

Verification documentation including chain of custody details and enforceability confirmation. 

That the account be properly marked as disputed with all credit reporting agencies until resolved. 

CFPB investigation into unlawful reporting and collection of time-barred debt. 

Supporting documentation : I have Experian Credit Report showing the XX/XX/XXXX delinquency date, and a copy of my dispute letter.

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

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.

Complaint narrative:
I respectfully submit this complaint against the XXXX Department of Education for its role in the emotional and financial damages I have endured as a result of the agencys failure to notify me of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX institutional misconduct. 

While XXXX did not directly collect from me or report to credit agencies, it allowed my federal loans to enter long-term forbearances and an XXXX plan XXXX during which time interest accrued for over a decade. More critically, I was never alerted that my school was under sanction or ineligible for federal loans a fact that would have changed the course of my life and finances. 

Because of this silence, I exhausted my loan eligibility, and had to pay privately for a second degree while incurring private debt and emotional harm. The Departments failure to intervene or warn me represents negligence with lifelong consequences for me and my daughters, who have also required psychiatric treatment. 

I ask that this complaint be formally investigated and that the Department acknowledge its administrative failure, consider compensation for the sustained harm, and take internal accountability steps so no other student faces the same suffering.
