Complaint narrative:
RE : Case Number XXXX XXXX In appreciation to the Financial Bureau I would like to respond to the recent American Express correspondence. 

The letter dated XX/XX/year> is one of scripted remarks.

In paragraph- '' you're not eligible for the welcome offer '' It mentions informing me consequences if I apply for the credit card application, knowing I have a XXXX XXXX or related credit accounts. It also advises me I would adhere to an agreement without a checked credit status?. American Express neglects to provide these sources during the application process. This dispute is based entirely on having any XXXX  accounts. I explained unknowingly if any th

ese accounts exists, for the fact of not receiving any statements by any means. American Express is required to inform valued customers the conditions of their accounts during intervenes. American Express has an expense to maintain active accounts and it is a company deduction if done properly. As a consumer, I should be advised how my accounts are trending during the given duration. To this date, I still don't know what accounts are active or closed. I have made inquiries to the " SWITCH '' of my credit card policy. I was seeking a valid tangible explanation and was promised a letter within 10 days. Several weeks have passed not receiving this letter compelling me to make another inquiry that call was met with disregards or concerns. If the communications were ethical I would not ask the Financial Bureau to mediate. In closing, I have experienced a shameful event and it is without any frustrations to enlighten potential customers about American Express deceiving programs.

Truly yours, XXXX XXXX

They said the account was closed, and sent me to a specialist who asked me a bunch of questions " verification questions '' and gave no information about my account details. I have made no withdrawals since I opened the account, and I did not close the account at any time. I was only informed of the account closure when I called Marcus the second time. There's no email or text notification of the account closre.

Now, I have no access to my account or my deposits. The specialist provided no explanation for their deliberate closure of my account and what they did to my deposits.

A while ago I noticed that there were so many things on my credit that I can not even begin to guess where these fraudulent accounts came from. So, I requested validation ( in the form of the original contracts ) from the bureau for each fraudulent account so that I could actually get to the bottom of who was using my identity and to also get this information removed. I sent in a letter and a FTC report just like the bureau requested 2 months ago and I still havent received any original contracts, or the method of verification, who they spoke with at these companies and the information is still on my report.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Old information reappears or never goes away
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I disputed fraudulent accounts on my credit report, specifically XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and two XXXXXXXX XXXX  ( XXXX and XXXX ) accounts, as reinserted accounts that had previously been deleted but improperly appeared again. Upon reviewing my updated credit report on XX/XX/XXXX, I confirmed that the disputed accounts had been successfully removed and not showing anymore. However, on XX/XX/XXXX, I received a Credit Monitoring Notification from Experian stating : " One of your accounts has been reported as over the credit limit. '' The account referenced was XXXX XXXX, which had already been deleted from my XX/XX/XXXX report. This notification indicates that the account was improperly REINSERTED AGAIN without proper verification or notice, in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. To verify this, I reviewed my current Experian credit report directly on their website and found that the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) has indeed been reinserted. Additionally, the XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX accounts ( XXXX and XXXX ) have also been reinserted. The improper reinsertion of accounts by Experian violates several consumer protection laws. Under FCRA 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ), Experian must provide written notice within five business days of reinserted information, including details about the reinsertion and its source; no notice was given, making this unlawful. Furthermore, FCRA 15 USC 1681e ( b ) requires credit reporting agencies to maintain accurate reporting procedures. By reintroducing disputed accounts without proper verification, Experian has failed this requirement. Lastly, under 12 U.S.C. 5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ), these actions are considered unfair practices that harm my financial standing by retaining and re-reporting previously disputed and inaccurate accounts. The improper reinsertion of these accounts has negatively impacted my credit score, limited my ability to obtain credit, and caused financial distress. This issue has been ongoing, and I do not intend to keep repeating the dispute process every time these accounts are reinserted. Given their history of deletions and reinsertion, I am requesting their IMMEDIATE AND PERMANENT REMOVAL to prevent this situation from continuing.
