As a national reporting agency, you are governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( " FCRA '' ), which protects consumers from inaccurate, outdated, or invalidated information reporting of their credit file. The FCRA states that it's the Credit Bureau 's responsibility to ensure that all information contained within consumer credit files is accurate and free from errors. According to federal law, you are required to comply with the requirements imposed under the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq., including but not limited to : follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information in the consumer report, as required by 15 U.S.C. $ 1681e ( b ) ; 2 ) comply with the investigation requirements ; 3 ) should not provide consumer credit file to companies without determining that these companies had a permissible purpose to obtain consumer credit file pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681b ; 4 ) provide consumer credit file pursuant to 15 U.S.C. $ 1681g ; 5 ) et seq. 
Accordingly, I request your company to provide verifiable documentary proof ( e.g., original consumer contract or similar proof bearing my wet ink signature on it ) you have on file of accounts/items listed below.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX and Experian for their inaccurate reporting of a debt that has not been validated as mine and for reporting the same account multiple times on my credit report, which is in violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Issue XXXX : Reporting of Unvalidated Debt According to the FCRA, credit reporting agencies must ensure that the information they report is accurate and complete. In my case, XXXX and Experian have reported a debt that I have disputed, and they have failed to provide validation that this debt actually belongs to me. I have made several attempts to dispute this account and request validation in writing, but neither XXXX nor Experian has adequately investigated or corrected this error.

This is a violation of my rights under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( FCRA Section 611 ), which requires that credit reporting agencies conduct a reasonable investigation after receiving a dispute from a consumer. Since the debt has not been validated, it should not continue to appear on my credit report.

Issue 2 : Multiple Listings of the Same Account Additionally, the same debt has been listed more than once on my credit report, which negatively impacts my credit score. Reporting the same account multiple times is misleading, inaccurate, and a violation of the FCRA. According to 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ( FCRA Section 607 ( b ) ), credit reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. Reporting the same debt multiple times does not adhere to these standards.

Harm to Credit Score The inclusion of unvalidated debt and multiple listings of the same account have directly harmed my credit score, preventing me from obtaining credit on favorable terms and negatively affecting my financial stability.

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern, This is in response to the answer that I received from one of the account holders on my credit report. To explain, the identity thief didn't open this account. This account is mine and he/she made fraudulent charges to my account in this specific situation. In others, he/she did fraudulently open other accounts. This was not one of them. Also, according to The Fair Credit Reporting Act, as a victim of Identity Theft, I have the right to inform you to stop reporting this inaccurate information and I am telling you to stop reporting this false, fraudulent, information to any of the credit reporting agencies or any company for that matter. ( FCRA Section 623 ( a ) ( 9 ) ). As a furnisher of this info to the credit reporting agencies. You are directed to inform them of this corrected information so they can remove, block, or delete the account. ( Section 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) ). I have attached all of the supporting documentation to this complaint.

In closing, this account and the fraudulent charges made to it have been a thorn in my side for far too long and I am demanding that this issue be resolved immediately! Otherwise, I will have no other choice but to take this problem to a higher authority, I. E. my Attorney General. If this doesn't resolve my issue I will have to enlist the services of my personal attorney because it is evident that my rights as a consumer are being violated and this is not right!

T

he 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.
