Complaint narrative:
I recently discovered that an account under the name XXXX XXXX was fraudulently opened in my name without my knowledge or authorization. This account was later charged off with a balance of {$650.00}, causing significant harm to my credit report and financial reputation. I did not apply for or consent to this account. Additionally, I have not received any IRS Form 1099-C or proper notification regarding this charge-off, raising further concerns about its legitimacy. The unauthorized account has negatively impacted my credit score, limited my access to credit, and caused emotional distress. I am filing this report to formally document the identity theft and request assistance in rectifying this matter. I ask for the fraudulent account to be immediately removed from my credit report and for further investigation into how my information was misused.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because XXXX and Experian continue to report a bankruptcy on my credit report, which I believe to be inaccurate. I disputed this entry with both bureaus, and they verified the information as accurate during the legally mandated 30-day investigation period. However, they failed to provide sufficient documentation to substantiate their findings, and their investigation results claim that the information was verified through U.S. court records. When I contacted the court directly, I was informed that the court does not provide such information to credit reporting agencies. 

Legal Violations : Failure to Verify Within 30 Days : Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) ( 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ), credit bureaus are required to complete a reinvestigation of disputed information within 30 days of receiving the dispute. If the information can not be verified within this time frame, the FCRA obligates the credit bureau to delete the disputed item from the consumers credit report. XXXX and Experian failed to meet this requirement, as they did not verify the bankruptcy with a valid source, and instead relied on unverifiable or incorrect information. 

Reasonable Investigation Standard : The FCRA ( 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ) also mandates that credit bureaus conduct a reasonable investigation when a consumer disputes information. By claiming that the bankruptcy was verified through court records, which the court itself has confirmed it does not provide to credit bureaus, XXXX and Experian failed to meet this standard. This constitutes a violation of their legal obligation to ensure the accuracy of reported information. 

Inconsistent Reporting Across Bureaus : XXXX conducted its own investigation of the same bankruptcy entry and removed it from my credit report. This discrepancy demonstrates a lack of consistency in how the XXXX major credit bureaus handle the same information and further calls into question the thoroughness and validity of XXXX and Experians verification processes. 

Harm Caused : XXXX and Experians continued reporting of this unverified and inaccurate bankruptcy entry is causing me significant harm, including damage to my credit profile and lost financial opportunities. Their refusal to remove the entry, despite failing to verify it properly and within the legally required time frame, is unfair, harmful, and unlawful.

Specifically, the charge-off listed under [ XXXX ] is reported as a negative entry, but I dispute its accuracy. I have requested that the credit reporting agency investigate the charge-off under the following sections of the FCRA : Section 1681b ( 2 ) This section mandates that all information reported about me must be accurate and reflect the truth. Section 1681b ( 5 ) This section requires that users of consumer reports ensure that they have a permissible purpose for obtaining and using my credit report and that the information is accurate. The charge-off may have been reported inaccurately due to a lack of proper verification. Section 611 This section requires that all disputes be investigated and resolved within 30 days, ensuring that inaccurate information is either verified or deleted from the credit report Despite my request, the credit reporting agency has failed to respond in a timely manner, and I have not received a satisfactory resolution.

Under Section 611, they must complete a full investigation within 30 days of my dispute.

Ensure that the credit reporting agency conducts a complete and timely investigation into my dispute and resolves the issue as required by the FCRA. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
