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

Complaint narrative:
Recently I did an investigation on my credit report and found several items on there to be inaccurate. 
Under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report, it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure the maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general if, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shalli ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation; and ( ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer.

Complaint narrative:
once again, Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report. Despite my submission of clear and compelling evidence demonstrating the inaccuracy or unverifiability of certain accounts, Experian has neither corrected nor removed the disputed items. This failure has resulted in ongoing harm to my credit standing, directly violating my rights as a consumer under federal law. 

Notably, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic failures in its dispute-handling process, including its failure to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, its acceptance of unreliable responses from data furnishers, and its inadequate notification to consumers regarding dispute outcomes. These allegations align with my personal experience, as Experian has disregarded the evidence I provided and failed to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation as required under the FCRA. 

Given these serious legal and regulatory concerns, I am formally requesting immediate corrective action to remove the disputed accounts in compliance with federal law.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccuracies on my credit report related to identity theft. I submitted my initial dispute on XX/XX/XXXX, along with a Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) Identity Theft Report and additional documentation supporting my claim. However, your agency has failed to meet its obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Violations of the FCRA 1.Failure to Conduct a Reasonable Investigation ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ) Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are required to conduct a reasonable investigation upon receiving a dispute. Despite providing a comprehensive FTC Identity Theft Report and detailed supporting evidence, I have not received confirmation of any substantive investigation into the disputed items. 
2.Failure to Notify Me of Investigation Results ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ) The FCRA mandates that consumers be notified of the results of an investigation within 30 days of submitting a dispute. To date, I have not received any such notification, nor have I been informed of the outcome of your review or the process by which my dispute was evaluated. 
3.Failure to Block Inaccurate Information Promptly ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) The FCRA requires credit reporting agencies to block information resulting from identity theft upon receipt of appropriate documentation, such as an FTC Identity Theft Report. This has not occurred in my case. 

Precedent Cases Supporting My Position Your failure to comply with FCRA requirements is not only a violation of my rights but also exposes your agency to liability, as demonstrated in precedent cases : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) : This case emphasized that credit reporting agencies have a duty to conduct reasonable investigations beyond relying on the data provided by furnishers. 

XXXX v. XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) : The Supreme Court upheld consumer rights in disputes related to credit reporting inaccuracies, reinforcing the accountability of credit bureaus under the FCRA. 

Requested Resolution To resolve this matter, I demand the following actions : 1.Conduct a reasonable and thorough reinvestigation of the disputed accounts and transactions associated with my identity theft. 
2.Provide a detailed written summary of your investigation, including the steps taken and evidence reviewed. 
3.Immediately block or remove all inaccurate information resulting from the identity theft. 

If this matter is not resolved promptly, I will have no choice but to escalate my complaint by filing with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and potentially pursuing legal remedies.

Complaint narrative:
I have noticed multiple accounts on my credit report that I do not recognize. It seems that my identity may have been stolen, as I never authorized these accounts. I previously reported this issue, and I am now requesting their immediate removal. These unauthorized accounts are causing me considerable distress, as they do not accurately represent my credit history or financial responsibility. Resolving this matter has been difficult, and if it remains unresolved, I am prepared to take legal action to protect my rights. These inaccuracies are severely affecting my ability to achieve key financial goals, such as buying a home and providing for my family. I urge you to address this issue as soon as possible.
