Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute a late payment entry that has appeared on my credit report. The report indicates a late payment in my credit report, which I strongly believe is erroneous and not verified. Throughout my financial history with the financial agencies I am doing business with, I have consistently met all payment deadlines without fail. Therefore, the presence of this late payment is undoubtedly a result of a billing error on the part of the creditor. I request a thorough investigation into this matter to verify the accuracy of the reported late payment and urge for its prompt correction. It is imperative that such inaccuracies are rectified swiftly, as they impact my financial standing and credibility. I have contacted the financial agencies in the last more than XXXX  days to seek clarification but I got no response because this is erroneously reported for they have provided NO PROOF that there was a REAL late payment. Your immediate attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding a collection account labeled XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Original Creditor XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) XXXX that has been inaccurately reported on my credit report. The presence of this unverified collection is causing severe harm to my credit score and is taking a considerable toll on my overall well-being, leading to significant stress and anxiety. To the best of my knowledge, the creditor responsible for this collection account has failed to provide proper verification of its legitimacy and accuracy. This lack of verification has led to an erroneous credit report entry that is negatively affecting my financial standing. The unjustly reported collection account has resulted in a substantial and undeserved negative impact on my credit score. Additionally, the stress and anxiety that have arisen from this situation are affecting my overall quality of life. I firmly believe in the importance of accurate credit reporting and the duty of creditors to verify the legitimacy of their claims before reporting them.

Complaint narrative:
I have repeatedly called Midland Credit to talk with someone regarding an account that they bought from an old credit card that I originally in XX/XX/year> accepted a pay off deal with XXXX 's store card with bank of XXXXXXXX XXXX to pay off the account with a settlement for the amount of {$420.00} that was XXXX  % of the total amount {$1600.00}. Midland Credit has made it hard to contact or speak with anyone regarding this matter. I also have tried to contact XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX but it redirects me to Midland Credit to speak to someone regarding the account. Whenever I have called they state there are not enough representatives to take the call in the 'correct ' department because I have tried to dispute this amount. I find it very unfair that I have to go through all this mess and now I have received a letter stating if I don't call to resolve this matter by XX/XX/XXXX they will take matters into their own hands to resolve this account when I had originally agreed with XXXX XXXX  to resolve the amount at the settles amount. Midland states they have no record of this but why would they if they want the full amount. I have emails from XXXXXXXX XXXX of this offer and I will not pay more to what I had already originally agreed to pay with them to pay and settle out this debt. The only time i was able to talk to someone they said they would any statements they had to show proof of the amount I owe after that They will not settle or talk to me unless I agree to the amount they say. They also have emailed me when I never provided them an email so they must have got it from the XXXX company.

Equifax is the only consumer agency reporting the account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX which is reporting incorrectly.
