Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NM

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX - XXXX - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I am submitting a formal dispute regarding late payment entries reported within the past XXXX years on my credit file. These late payments resulted from unauthorized interference with my financial accounts due to a cybersecurity breach on my mobile device. As they are not a reflection of my financial behavior, I am requesting their immediate removal. 
Issue Summary : I unknowingly downloaded a XXXX application on my mobile device. This XXXX, intended for privacy protection, contained security vulnerabilities that allowed unauthorized users to access my device. As a result : Unknown third parties gained access to my financial login credentials. 
My automatic payment settings were altered without my knowledge. 
This interference led to the late payments that are now inaccurately reflected on my credit report. 
FCRA & Federal Violations Committed : Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), furnishers are prohibited from reporting inaccurate or unverifiable data. Since these late payments resulted from unauthorized external interference, they are inaccurate and must be removed immediately.

Additionally, under FCRA 1681i, I have the right to dispute any information that can not be fully substantiated. The late payments in question do not meet verification requirements due to the nature of the incident.

Furthermore, the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) 15 U.S.C. 1693g ( a ) states that consumers can not be held liable for unauthorized electronic transactions. Since my account settings were tampered with, these late payments were not my responsibility and should not be attributed to me.

Requested Resolution : I am requesting the following actions : Immediate removal of all late payments from the past XXXX years that were impacted by this unauthorized interference. 
A written confirmation verifying that these late payments have been removed. 
A compliance review to ensure that my account information is reported accurately in accordance with federal regulations. 
If action is not taken to resolve this matter, I will have no choice but to pursue small claims court proceedings to ensure that my rights under FCRA and EFTA are upheld. However, I trust that in good faith, you will follow the law regardless, and I hope this will be resolved amicably. 
Please confirm resolution of this dispute at your earliest convenience.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally address the ongoing noncompliance of your agency in relation to my identity theft report, which I previously submitted in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Despite having sent several letters, your agency has repeatedly rejected my identity theft report on the grounds that it was not filed by a law enforcement agency. This decision is not in compliance with the FCRA and fails to recognize the guidance provided by XXXX as mandated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). 

As you are aware, the FCRA at Section 605B and the guidance provided by the CFPB under XXXX clearly outline the process for filing an identity theft report. The CFPB specifically states that victims of identity theft can file a report directly through XXXX, which then becomes a valid identity theft report under the FCRA. Nowhere does the FCRA require this report to be submitted by law enforcement for it to be valid.

Furthermore, under FCRA Section 617, your agency is legally required to investigate and resolve any identity theft dispute in a timely manner, and you are prohibited from deciding unilaterally what is valid or invalid when it comes to an identity theft report that has been properly filed. Your refusal to acknowledge this report based on your own standardsrather than what is set forth in federal lawis a clear violation of the FCRA. 

Legal Precedent : 1.Parker v. Time Warner Entertainment Co. L.P. , 331 F.3d 13 ( 2d Cir. 2003 ) : This case underscores the importance of proper handling of disputes related to credit reporting and emphasizes that credit reporting agencies can not disregard information simply based on their own internal policies when federal law mandates a specific process.

2.Sarver v. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , 390 F.3d 969 ( 7th Cir. 2004 ) : This case reinforced that credit reporting agencies must follow FCRA regulations, including investigating claims of identity theft in accordance with the law, and can not arbitrarily determine what constitutes an acceptable identity theft report.

3.Henson v. Santander Consumer USA , Inc. , 2017 U.S. Dist . LEXIS 191143 ( E.D. Va. 2017 ) : This decision clarified that a credit reporting agency is obligated to accept documents submitted by the consumer, as long as they meet the legal requirements for disputing inaccurate information under the FCRA.
