Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me.

Experian has failed to fulfil its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, allegedly systematic 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 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 ament the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Complaint narrative:
Date : XXXX Equifax Dispute Department XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX Subject : Formal Credit Report Dispute Failure to Correct Inaccurate Information Dear Equifax Dispute Department , I am writing to dispute inaccuracies on my credit report that persist despite my previous dispute attempts. I recently became aware of the lawsuit filed by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) against Equifax, which highlights similar issues I have personally encounterednamely, the continued reporting of incorrect information and inadequate handling of consumer disputes.

The following accounts contain inaccurate information that must be corrected : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX & ACCOUNT NUMBER XXXX XXXX ] [ THEY SAY I OWE {$130.00} FROM ORIGINALCREDITOR XXXX XXXX XXXX, THAT HANDED THE DEBT OVER TO THEM, BECAUSE THEY WAS DONE WITH IT... 


XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  & ACCOUNT NUMBER XXXX XXXX [ THEY SAY I OWE A DEBT {$62.00} FROM ORIGINAL CREDITOR XXXX XXXX WHO THEY SAID PASSED THE DEBT DOWN TO THEM..

As you are aware, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Equifax is required to conduct a thorough and reasonable investigation into consumer disputes and remove or correct any unverifiable, inaccurate, or incomplete information. The CFPBs legal action further emphasizes a pattern of failures in Equifaxs dispute resolution process, which I have also experienced firsthand.

I am requesting the following actions : 1. A proper and thorough investigation into the disputed items.

2. Written confirmation of the findings from your investigation.

3. Immediate removal or correction of any inaccurate or unverifiable information.

If Equifax fails to properly investigate and resolve these disputes, I will escalate my complaint to the CFPB, the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and explore legal action to enforce my rights under the FCRA.

Please confirm receipt of this dispute and provide an update within 30 days, as required by law.

Complaint narrative:
Despite my previous disputes, the creditor continues to knowingly and willingly report false information, which is a violation of my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Here is the breakdown of the discrepancies : XXXX : Shows no late payments. 
XXXX : Shows one 30-day late payment.

TransUnion : Shows two late payments ; one for 30 days another for 60 days This inconsistent reporting not only demonstrates a lack of compliance but also indicates intentional misconduct. Furthermore, there should not be any late payments associated with this account. The creditors deliberate actions are causing undue harm to my credit profile and financial well-being, as this inaccurate reporting has adversely impacted my credit score and my ability to secure financial opportunities.

Under 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, creditors are obligated to report accurate and consistent information to credit reporting agencies. The continued failure to do so, despite prior disputes, is not only negligent but also a willful violation of federal law. All three credit bureaus are reporting different information and according to 15 U.S. Code 1681e - Compliance procedures, " Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. '' This is a direct violation and furthermore proves that there was no investigation to provide proper verification. The same information should be reported across all three credit reporting agencies.

Furthermore, Transunion does not show any data for the year 2018 but the two late payments which is a shady business tactic due to those being the only negative information reflected that year. They purposely did that as well as XXXX only showing one late payment for the year but no other available data.
