Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute the accuracy of information appearing on my TransUnion and Experian credit file regarding a Revolving Charge Account opened on XX/XX/XXXX, closed on XX/XX/XXXX, and reported with a Pay Status : Sold ; was Charged-off. 

This account is being inaccurately reported in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i and 1681e ( b ), which require consumer reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy of credit information. 
The balance is listed as {$0.00}, indicating no money is owed. However, the Pay Status Sold; was Charged-off implies there is an outstanding delinquency or loss, which is contradictory and misleading. 
If the account was sold or transferred, the original creditor should no longer be reporting an active charge-off or payment status under FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 2 ).

The terms Paid Monthly and Sold/Charged-off conflict, since an account can not simultaneously be active for payment and written off as a loss. 
The Date Updated : XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  suggests ongoing activity on a closed, XXXX-balance account, which is inconsistent and may negatively affect my creditworthiness. 
Under FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), I am requesting a reinvestigation of this account. Please verify all information with the data furnisher. If the creditor can not provide documentation validating the charge-off or the current reporting status, this account must be corrected or deleted entirely from my TransUnion and Experian credit file. 

Please provide me with : 1. The results of your reinvestigation, 2. The name, address, and contact information of the furnisher, 3. A corrected copy of my credit report.
