Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Experian for continuing to report an inaccurate and misleading tradeline furnished by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The account in question, reference ending in XXXX, was paid in full and closed as of XX/XX/XXXX, which XXXX has confirmed in writing through a Paid in Full Letter dated XX/XX/XXXX. Despite this, Experian continues to display the tradeline as Potentially Negative with derogatory late-payment notations for XXXX. 

This conduct constitutes multiple violations : Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) ) : Experian is required to conduct a reasonable investigation of my disputes. Simply accepting Verified as reported responses through e-OSCAR without documentary proof does not meet the statutory standard. 

15 U.S.C. 1681i Method of Verification : Experian must provide the actual method of verification, including supporting documentation relied upon, not automated ACDV responses. 

XXXX XXXX Standards : An account closed with a {$0.00} balance and confirmed Paid in Full can not be coded or reported as delinquent or derogatory. 

Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act ( Fla. Stat. 559.72 ( 9 ) & ( 10 ) ) : Prohibits furnishing or reporting information known to be false or misleading. 

Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act ( Fla. Stat. 501.204 ) : Prohibits deceptive and unfair conduct harming consumers. 

By continuing to report this tradeline as derogatory, Experian is knowingly publishing false and damaging information, materially harming my creditworthiness.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because my credit report contains inaccurate, fraudulent, and harmful information in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ), the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1692 ), and my consumer protection rights. These errors are damaging my financial life and must be corrected immediately. 
XXXX XXXX Hard Inquiry XX/XX/year> This inquiry was done without my authorization or permissible purpose under FCRA 604 . A lender or creditor must have written consent or legitimate business need to access my credit. Since I never applied for credit with this company, this is an unauthorized inquiry and must be removed immediately. Story : This unauthorized inquiry lowered my score, and I had to face denial when applying for a car loan shortly after. It is frustrating and unfair that my personal credit is being accessed without consent. Each inquiry makes me look desperate for credit and impacts my ability to get fair financing. 
Overall Harm These false addresses, fraudulent charge-offs, and unauthorized inquiries are destroying my creditworthiness, reputation, and peace of mind. I have suffered denials, financial losses, higher interest rates, and emotional distress. Under the law, the bureaus and furnishers are required to ensure maximum possible accuracy and protect consumers from identity theft. They have failed to do so in my case. 
Relief Requested XXXX. Permanent deletion of all false addresses, charge-offs, and inquiries listed above. 
XXXX. Blocking of fraudulent accounts under FCRA 605B. 
XXXX. Written confirmation of deletion within 30 days. 
XXXX. Enforcement of compliance with FCRA, FDCPA, and CFPB regulations.

This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within XXXX business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report.

Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional XXXX days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.
