Consumer complaint received 2023-12-28 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
To my dismay, it has been well beyond the allowed timeframe of 60 days, and I have yet to receive any meaningful information regarding the status of the investigation. I submitted a dispute regarding fraudulent accounts on my credit report, clearly indicating that I am a victim of identity theft. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the credit reporting agencies are obligated to investigate such matters and provide resolution within a reasonable timeframe, not exceeding 30 days, with a potential extension of 15 days under certain circumstances. The lack of communication and transparency from your bureau is not only unprofessional but also in violation of the regulations set forth by the FCRA. I was the victim and Im not sure why the CRA is not complying with the law. Im very confused why this one seems to ignore my requests. I demand an immediate and thorough review of my case, along with the removal of the fraud accounts from my credit report or, at the very least, a suspension of their reporting until this matter is adequately resolved. It is evident that these disputed accounts are a result of identity theft, as your bureau has failed to verify their validity within the stipulated timeframe. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 
I have diligently provided all necessary documentation to support my claim of identity theft, yet there has been no evidence of the bureau 's effort to verify the validity of the fraud. This lack of action is not only unacceptable but also indicative of a serious lapse in your bureau 's responsibility to protect consumers from the damaging effects of identity theft.

Complaint narrative:
This debt collector engaged in abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices of the FDCPA which it prohibits. They furnished this account that we didn't agree upon and I didn't sign an agreement on. A legal contract is signed by two parties and I did not participate in any of it.

Further, I certify that I am permitted by FEDERAL and STATE LAW to file this dispute. I also understand that knowing and willful misstatements or omissions of material facts constitutes a FEDERAL CRIMINAL VIOLATION punishable under 18 U.S.C. 1001. Additionally, these misstatements are punishable as perjury under 18 U.S.C. 1621. This collection found within my credit report are not related to any transaction that I made. I am alleging that a person or company- without my authorization- used my personal identifying information to apply for goods, services, or money ; and, was successful in creating some accounts. 

I demand you to remove this account from all 3 of my credit reports asap or I will have no choice but to forward this to my litigation attorney for furnishing a false account on my credit report.

The only thing that has been done by the " XXXX XXXX '' is reporting that my account was closed with a balance owing of {$1000.00} and in XXXX that the account was 30-60 days past due.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am confused as to why XXXX has already removed the late dates and updated the negative status of these accounts to a positive one from their records, while your bureau has not followed suit. The creditors have already agreed to remove the late dates as they are inaccurate, erroneous, incomplete, or unverifiable. I was the victim of identity theft, and it is not clear why your bureau is not complying with the law. The other bureaus have followed suit, and it is frustrating that your bureau is lagging behind. I demand that you take immediate action and update these accounts in my credit report. The error has already been found, and I expect that you will follow the same course of action as XXXX and update my file accordingly. The questionable accounts are : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX. Please note that I am extremely annoyed and frustrated by this issue, and I have capitalized some sentences to express my dissatisfaction. I expect that you will take immediate action to resolve this matter.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute the accuracy of information on my credit report, specifically related to the following accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX. Regarding the XXXX XXXX account, the reported late payment history is inaccurate. I believe I made payments on time, and I request an immediate update to reflect accurate information on the late payments for this account. Concerning the XXXX XXXX account, the reported status is entirely incorrect. My payment history on this account has consistently been " Paid as Agreed, '' and I have never missed a payment. I demand an immediate correction to accurately reflect the positive status of this account. It is important to note that XXXX and XXXX have already rectified the errors on these accounts, removing the late dates and updating the status to positive. There was an evident error, and they promptly acknowledged and corrected it. I am confused as to why your bureau has not followed suit. I withhold my consent for electronic communication and explicitly request that all responses be conveyed in written form through the United States Postal Service ( USPS ).
