Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
1. Improper Repossession : XXXX failed to follow the legal requirements for repossession. I did not receive proper notice of my right to cure the default before the vehicle was repossessed. Additionally, after repossession, I did not receive notification regarding the sale of the vehicle, including any opportunity for me to redeem the vehicle or reclaim it, as required by law. There is also no evidence that the sale was conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. 
2. Inaccurate Credit Reporting : XXXX has continued to inaccurately report the repossession on my credit report. This is a violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires credit information to be reported with maximum accuracy. The details regarding the repossession and any balances are incorrect, and I believe XXXX is reporting these without proper verification.

Complaint narrative:
I was scammed out of my 401k in XX/XX/XXXX. I knew I would owe the IRS. I saw a commercial for XXXX XXXX XXXX saying if you owe XXXX to the IRS that they can help with that. On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted them and was told that they would file my XXXX tax return and either reduce or clear my debt. However before they would begin I needed to pay XXXX. I didnt have the XXXX so I had to get a loan with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( a company XXXX XXXX XXXX uses ). The total loan with interest was XXXX. When I received my XXXX tax return I owed XXXX. I asked why I owed that amount they said to sign the return and not to worry about the amount owed as they are working on it. Then I received a letter from the IRS stating if I didnt pay the amount owed they would levy my property. I reached out to XXXX XXXX XXXX and was told to send them anything from the IRS as they are still working on my debt. Then in XX/XX/XXXX I received a message saying to call them as they had a resolution. They then told me that there was a fund that they could use to clear my debt with the IRS however it would cost me an additional XXXX to complete. I then told them that I was done with them. I was scammed by XXXX XXXX XXXX. And would like some assistance with the debt I owe for filling with them. XXXX is a lot to pay for filing a 1040 form to the IRS. I did ask for an hourly rate and the time spent but did not get a response.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted XXXX over email because I discovered they reported a late payment to the credit reporting agencies. I've been a credit card holder and loyal customer of XXXX for 18 years and was surprised to see this error, so I asked them to fix it. The XXXX XXXX department denied to correct it. XXXX fraudulently reported a late payment from XX/XX/XXXX to the CRAs, and it negatively effects me. I'm really devastated over this- I've always had amazing payment history with my XXXX card since XXXX when I opened the account. 

Then on XX/XX/XXXX I contacted XXXX and Equifax about this because for some reason they are showing that my account was paid late, but XXXX XXXX shows my account correctly as paid in full. The problem is, even though XXXX and Equifax received my mail on XX/XX/XXXX, they haven't done anything about my request. When I log into my XXXX and Equifax accounts, there is no updates about a dispute or anything. They are falsely reporting late payments that never happened, and now are ignoring the requests to correct it. I have to take considerable time and effort out of my day to ask for these companies to correct mistakes they have made and it's causing me a lot of headache.
