Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against the credit bureaus due to their continuous failure to address my dispute letters concerning inaccurate information on my credit report. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this issue through the appropriate channels, the credit bureaus have not acknowledged or investigated my disputes, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Even after multiple submissions, the credit bureaus have failed to provide any response, confirm an investigation, or correct the disputed information. This lack of action clearly violates the FCRA, which requires credit bureaus to investigate disputes and respond within 30 days.

Complaint narrative:
I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MD

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 account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
Paid the balance of the account in full on XX/XX/year>. Spoke with a representative of XXXX XXXX on the phone this date. They advised me that {$280.00} was the total balance on the account. I was on the phone with them settling a different account when they also notified me of this account with them. During this time I was working with a debt settlement company whom was settling most of my accounts on my behalf. The accounts I had with XXXX XXXX  were not part of the program as I intended to pay them off in full and settle the accounts myself. I paid XXXX XXXX for both accounts on XX/XX/year> and was advised that both accounts were settled, paid in full and CLOSED. However in XXXX I received a notification that my XXXX XXXX XXXX account was past due. I called XXXX XXXX again asking why I was receiving this message. They informed me that they never closed the XXXX XXXX account after I paid it in full which resulted in {$9.00} of interest charges posting to the account. After the interest charges posted, they then proceeded to charge me interest on the interest charges and charged me with several late fees for an account they told me was closed in XXXX of this year. The account had a {$0.00} balance in XXXX after I paid in full and is now at a balance of over {$400.00}. The card hasnt even been used during that time as they told me the account was closed back in XXXX. Therefore, over {$400.00} worth of interest charges and account late fees accounts for 100 % of the total new balance. I have done everything in my power and taken action toward actively paying off all of my debt. I am 75 % through my debt settlement program and am determined to finish the program and settle all of my debt. It is not fair that this creditor is able to tell me they did something when they actually did NOT do what they said resulting in substantial financial harm to myself and my family. It is not fair that they can just say oh well we maybe made a mistake but you still owe us the money and their is very little I can do about it but pay it. Please help!
