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: MD

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the fair credit reporting act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of dispute information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence i provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the dispute accounts, as XXXX inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Dispute Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Reporting for XXXX XXXX Account Dear CFPB, I am filing this complaint regarding the inaccurate late payment reported on my credit file for the account listed below. Despite multiple requests for correction through disputes submitted on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, no changes have been made. This persistent inaccuracy constitutes a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). 
Account Information : Account Name : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Account Status : Closed/Paid High Balance : {$36000.00} Late Payment Reported : XX/XX/XXXX Errors and Discrepancies : XXXX. Late Payment Dates : A XXXX late payment is inaccurately reported for XX/XX/XXXX across TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX. This discrepancy is false, as no payment was due or late for the stated period. 
XXXX. XXXX Payment History : All months are marked " OK '' in the two-year history section, yet the reported XXXX late payment contradicts this accurate record. 
XXXX. Inconsistent Reporting : XXXX and XXXX fail to provide the date of the last verification, violating the FCRA requirement to ensure information accuracy. 
XXXX. Failure to Update Information : Despite multiple dispute submissions on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, the reported information remains unchanged. 
Legal Violations : Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : Under 15 U.S. Code 1681i, credit bureaus are required to ensure accuracy in consumer files. This has not been upheld, as evidenced by the uncorrected inaccuracies in my report.

Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) : As stipulated in 15 U.S. Code 1666b, creditors must send periodic statements at least 21 days before payment due dates. The inaccurate late payment reporting implies non-compliance with this requirement. 

Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ) : This act reinforces creditor responsibility to provide timely and accurate statements. The continued reporting of false late payments demonstrates a breach of these obligations.

Desired Resolution : 1. Immediate removal of the inaccurate late payment notation for XX/XX/XXXX from my credit file. 
XXXX. Written confirmation of the correction to ensure compliance with the FCRA and TILA. 
Failure to resolve this matter promptly will result in further actions, including additional complaints to the CFPB and possible legal recourse. 
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations. 

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 


This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 


I demand the late payment to be updated. 


They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 


Update the late payments from my consumer reports
