Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I have discovered that an erroneous report was submitted to the credit bureau, suggesting that I had not met my payment obligations since XXXX. This information is incorrect, as I made payments for both XXXX and XXXX in XXXX, effectively paying in advance for XXXX. Although there was a minor delay in XXXX caused by an accidental charge to my old card, I swiftly rectified the situation on XX/XX/XXXX and promptly made the required payment. 

Regrettably, the bureau was informed that the company had not received payment since XXXX, which is entirely inaccurate. To avoid further complications with the company, I decided to settle the entire loan amount on XX/XX/XXXX. 

As a result of this misinformation, my credit score has decreased by XXXX points. This is highly distressing, especially considering my consistent track record of timely payments. In light of this error and its adverse effects on my credit standing, I have chosen to settle the outstanding balance. However, I want to emphasize my dissatisfaction with the lack of regard for accuracy and its impact on customers who fulfill their obligations punctually. 

Moving forward, I have decided not to engage in any future loan agreements with their institution.

Complaint narrative:
3 days ago I realized my Equifax score dropped over XXXX points which was crazy to me in a matter of a day, there were remarks added and now I notice on XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) collections on Equifax but when logging onto Equifax there have not been any collections reported. Please delete or update as it was prior to this data error. 

My Equifax score 3 days ago days was XXXX and as of XXXX it changed to XXXX it decreased over XXXX points and I cant figure out why. I looked to review any changes via XXXX XXXX and it stated there were over XXXX remarks added! Initially, I had not realized there were collections being reported, they are being reported via credit karma. When I login to my EQUIFAX credit report there are no collections. 

I have attached a file of credit karma as well as a report from Equifax on XXXX and XXXX where there are no collections reported. 

I am not sure whats going on but it looks like my data is getting mixed with someone else. 

Thank you

I purchased a puppy from your business on XX/XX/2024. 

I was sold a puppy under fraudulent terms, specifically that she would be XXXX registered, which is not the case. Additionally, she is not in good health as promised. I was also told for the credit i took out, there would be no interest accrued for XXXX year and would pay a minimum of XXXX per month towards the balance. However, I got the paper billing statement 4 days ago, with the bill due in 2 days notice, and 29.99 % interest rate applies immediatley! These misrepresentations are a clear breach of our agreement and violate consumer protection laws.

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 each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( XXXX ) 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.

Complaint narrative:
I am a hardworking individual has been diligently paying my accounts on time for the quite a long time. However, upon reviewing my credit report, I discover several instances of late payments recorded by these creditors. Perplexed by this discrepancy, I contacted these creditors to inquire about the inaccuracies. After discussing the matter with a customer service representative and the billing department, it becomes evident that there was a mutual agreement between me and these creditors to adjust the payment schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite adhering to this adjusted schedule, the payments were mistakenly marked as late in the system. Understanding the gravity of the situation, these creditors swiftly acknowledge the error and assures me that the inaccurate late payments will be rectified. Additionally, they offer to provide written documentation of the agreed-upon payment schedule to prevent any future misunderstandings.
