Complaint narrative:
I am a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX I moved to XXXX Al for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I initially informed the apartment management team of XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX Al prior to agreements. The apartment management verbally stated that " since I was already in contract status with the realtor, I could sign a short term lease. Also, verbally stated that with said short term lease, to inform them 30 days prior that I would be closing on my current home. '' Once I closed on the home, I " could end the short term lease with XXXX with no problems and they ( apt management ) would refill the space with a new tenant. The apartment manager obviously verbally made promises that lead to the following. From my understanding, closing on a house is a credible status to end a lease but their management pulled a cruel bag over my head because i did not have what i was told in writing. I have received letters as well as threatening phone calls about paying over XXXX $ from a collections agency. I am now in pursuit of a new home and the collection shows as an unpaid debt on my credit report. I called the apartment management team as well as collection agency Rent Debt Automated Collections and asked to speak to a supervisor only to be hung up on. I will dispute the collection, but I would like to report the collection agency. 

Thank you

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence | provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

XXXX ) XX/XX/XXXX : Sent letter # XXXX with return receipt- to XXXX disputing the information listed under the collection account " Fair Collections and Out XXXX ''. They were reporting the account as an OPEN ACCOUNT with a TERM of 1 month. They were reporting the balance as " not reported '' which makes NO sense. 

XXXX ) XX/XX/XXXX : XXXX responded verifiying it as accurate. Continued to report the paid collection with a 1 month term and OPEN. 

XXXX ) XX/XX/XXXX : Sent a letter to to Fair Collections and Outsourcing via certified mail return receipt. Asking for them to VERIFY ( not validate ) my account and requested copies of the documentation that was sent to the Credit Reporing Agencies. The letter was indeed received by someone in the company. I never heard back or received any such documentation from Fair Collections and Outsourcing. FAIR COLLECTIONS AND OUTSOURCING HAVE YET TO RESPOND. 

XXXX ) XX/XX/XXXX : Sent letter # XXXX to XXXX. I let them know that I contacted the furnisher directly and after almost two months that no doumentation from the furnisher was sent to me. I sent them a copy of the letter that was sent to the furnisher as well. I asked XXXX how were they able to verify the accuracy of this dispute if the furnisher couldn't provide documentation? I requested them to remove the item from my report as it is unverified at this point. 

XXXX ) XX/XX/XXXX : XXXX responded with a ridiculous email stating they believed that they received a dispute request from XXXX OTHER THAN ME! Even though my request was sent WITH a photo ID and copy of my SS card.

Complaint narrative:
JPCMB ( Chase Credit Card ) made a hard inquiry with XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX supposedly on my behalf. 

They then sent me a letter ( dated on the XXXX ) stating that they suspect someone attempted to issue a credit card under my name. 

But then -- there was another hard inquiry no XX/XX/XXXX ( which I found out through XXXX and XXXX XXXX ). 

No letter from JPCMB this time, instead I just received a credit card by mail today! 

This is surprisingly incompetent on their part, possibly worse.

Despite my repeated attempts to have these accounts removed, they persist, causing significant damage to my financial reputation and well-being.

It is evident that the credit bureaus have no permissible purpose to report these fraudulent items without my explicit consent. Please see attached file for these items I am complaining.

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a complaint to these Bureaus a month ago, yet the erroneous information on my report persists. I have not received any updates from the Bureaus, apart from your notification indicating that the company has addressed my complaint. How can I be assured that they have conducted a thorough investigation into the inaccuracies on my report? What procedures were utilized to verify the accounts? This entire situation is exceedingly frustrating. Over 30 days have passed since I lodged my complaint, and the disputed accounts remain unchanged. If this issue is not resolved, I will be compelled to pursue legal action due to the significant stress it has caused me. Additionally, I am worried about the security of my personal information, which has been compromised by the Equifax, Experian, and Transunion data breach.

Complaint narrative:
Simply parroting information from data furnishers without an actual independent verification constitutes willful noncompliance, as affirmed in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ). The result of the investigation mailed to me did not address my dispute. It completely avoided the issue. Please see attachment. This account was opened on date XX/XX/XXXX and closed on XX/XX/XXXX. There are no on time payments from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. In accordance with The Fair Credit Reporting Act, Public law 91-506, Title VI, Section 611, Subsection A-D, this is inaccurate payment history reporting. I should have active payments XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. This inaccurate information falsely manipulates my credit worthiness and it's hurting my ability to obtain credit. Experian failed to investigate this account properly after I repeatedly asked to have the account updated. Your neglect has once again violated my consumer rights. Moreover, the payment history from Experian is not the same as the one from XXXX. Please see the attachments. I am demanding a deletion of the account name : XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX
