Complaint narrative:
Despite my previous 4 written requests, the unverified items listed still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. They stated in their responses to my 4 dispute letters that they have verified that the items listed are accurate but you failed to send me copies of the documents that they used to verify these accounts as per my request. The fact that they have ignored my request to send me copies of the documents that they used to verify the disputed accounts is evidence that they can not and did not verify any of the disputed accounts like they said they did. Their failure to delete the disputed accounts that they can not verify after two written requests is also evidence of their willful disregard of Federal Law.

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a concern regarding the information on my credit report. After a recent review of my credit history, I have observed some inaccuracies that I believe require immediate attention and correction. 

Upon careful examination, I have identified late payments listed on my credit report that are not accurate. I understand the importance of maintaining an accurate credit history, and I am committed to ensuring that the information on my report reflects my financial behaviour accurately. 

I kindly request your assistance in investigating and, if necessary, removing or correcting the following late payments from my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - Those payments were made on time. I am requesting that the late payment markings be updated to reflect my accurate payment history. If there is any confusion, I suggest you contact myself or XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX customer service representative. XXXX  and XXXX have already removed this account from their records. There was an error present & they were able to find it. I'm confused about how you've verified it while the other bureaus have removed it. Please delete this from my file. It is inaccurate, erroneous, incomplete, or unverifiable. 

I understand the importance of maintaining a good credit history, and I am committed to resolving any discrepancies promptly. I kindly request that you initiate an investigation into this matter and update my credit report accordingly. I am confident that, upon review, you will find the necessary grounds to remove or correct the inaccuracies.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
XXXX I was informed thru a credit reporting agency that my information was stolen in a data breach in XXXX. When I looked at my credit report there were multiple collections for debt that was not mine. I filed a police report and with the report from the FTC on identity theft and the officers information I sent to the debt collector, and the reporting agency. Also documents showing I wasnt in the state where the charges were being made. Upon the credit agency reporting the investigation was done there were no reports about the results of the investigation or how they still believed that the debt was mine. I have not received any documentation from debt collectors or from the reporting agencies. I keep reporting it as identity theft but nothing gets done. The debt collectors are lying and keep reporting that I am paying on the debt which is absolutely false. Since nothing was being done and I was falsely being accused of these debts I put a freeze on my credit and it has been on there for two years now so I wont get another debt that isnt mine.
