Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to you regarding discrepancies on my credit report that I believe are the result of unauthorized use of my social security number and card. Upon reviewing my credit report, I have identified several inquiries and accounts that I did not authorize, nor do they pertain to any activity that I have engaged in. I am unaware of any such activity associated with my name. 

I am formally requesting the deletion of these unauthorized items from my credit report. It is imperative that these inaccuracies are rectified as soon as possible, as they are having a detrimental effect on my creditworthiness. 

Please consider this letter as my third attempt to resolve this matter. I urge you to take immediate action to investigate and remove these discrepancies from my credit report. I am willing to cooperate fully with any investigation conducted by your organization or by the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) to resolve this issue promptly.

Company: National Credit Systems,Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to bring to your attention an urgent matter regarding unauthorized debt collection activity by National Credit Systems INC ( NCS ) in the state of Florida.

It has come to my attention that NCS does not possess a valid license to collect debt in the state of Florida as required by law. Pursuant to Florida Statutes Chapter 559 Part VI and RULE 69V-180, any entity engaging in debt collection activities within the state must hold a valid license issued by the appropriate regulatory authority. 

Despite lacking the requisite licensing, NCS has continued its attempts to collect a debt from me for the last four years XX/XX/2020. This conduct is not only in violation of Florida law but also a breach of my rights as a consumer.

I demand that you immediately cease all reporting and collection efforts related to the debt in question. Furthermore, I expect you to thoroughly investigate the matter and ensure that NCS ceases its unauthorized activities. 

If I continue to receive communications or notices related to this unauthorized debt collection, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action against both NCS and your agency for their roles in this matter. 

As per Florida law, the licensing number of any entity engaged in debt collection activities must be provided to consumers. Therefore, I request that you verify and confirm the licensing status of NCS in the state of Florida. If NCS can not provide a valid license number, I urge you to take immediate action to rectify this situation.

Please provide written confirmation of the actions taken in response to this letter within 14 days or remove the report alleged debt from my credit report. Failure to comply will leave me with no option but to escalate this matter further legally. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

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 XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute a late payment entry that has appeared on my credit report. The report indicates a late payment in my credit report, which I strongly believe is erroneous and not verified. Throughout my financial history with the financial agencies I am doing business with, I have consistently met all payment deadlines without fail. Therefore, the presence of this late payment is undoubtedly a result of a billing error on the part of the creditor. I request a thorough investigation into this matter to verify the accuracy of the reported late payment and urge for its prompt correction. It is imperative that such inaccuracies are rectified swiftly, as they impact my financial standing and credibility. I have contacted the financial agencies in the last more than 30 days to seek clarification but I got no response because this is erroneously reported for they have provided NO PROOF that there was a REAL late payment. Your immediate attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.
