Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late.

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern : I am filing this complaint against XXXX  XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX and the credit reporting agencies ( Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion ) for ongoing violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), Metro-2 standards, and relevant case law including Kusuma v. FCRA furnishers.

Basis of Complaint : Inaccurate & Impossible Reporting The balance being reported this is factually impossible, unlawful, and violates FCRA 602, 607 ( b ), which requires maximum possible accuracy in reporting.

Reporting balances greater than the original obligation also constitutes false representation of a debt under FDCPA 807 ( 2 ) ( A ), 15 U.S.C. 1692e ( 2 ) ( A ).

Improper Verification & XXXX Reliance This account has been disputed multiple times and continues to be verified without proper reinvestigation. 

I do not consent to XXXXXXXX, which is an automated system that does not comply with FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 2 ) ( B ), 611 ( a ) ( 4 ) requiring human review and proper verification of disputes.

By failing to provide documentation proving the accuracy and ownership of this debt, XXXX and the bureaus have violated Kusuma v. FCRA Furnishers, which reaffirms that mere automated responses are not sufficient verification.

Failure to Provide Method of Verification ( MOV ) Upon repeated requests, neither XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX the bureaus have provided the Method of Verification as required by FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 7 ).

This concealment of the verification process is a direct violation of federal law and case precedent.

Metro-2 Compliance Failures Reporting closed yet still reflecting a balance and charge-off simultaneously violates Metro-2 reporting standards required under FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ).

The payment history shows inconsistent reporting ( charge-off in multiple months ), which is double-reporting and misleading.

Permissible Purpose Not Established XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has not demonstrated permissible purpose under FCRA 604 to furnish or continue furnishing this alleged account.

Without proof of contract, application, or legally binding agreement, continued reporting is unlawful.

Violations Present : FCRA 602, 607 ( b ), 611, 623 FDCPA 807, 808 Kusuma v. FCRA Furnishers ( improper reliance on automated verification ) Metro-2 Standards violations ( inconsistent reporting, double charge-offs, inflated balances )

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute the inaccurate information on my credit report acquired by Equifax. This letter is for the purpose to invoke my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15USC 1681i, which obligates you to provide me with the procedures you used to verify the information on my credit report. 
If you can not verify the accuracy of the disputed items, they must be deleted from my credit report right away. 
Additionally, under the XXXX XXXX ( 15 USC 6802 ) I have an essential right to privacy regarding my financial information. Also. 15 USC 1681 ( 4 ) under the FCRA highlights the importance of maintaining the accuracy and privacy of consumer credit information. 
No permissible purpose, as shown in 15 USC 1681b ( 2 ), has been established for Equifax to maintain a credit report on my behalf. 
Equifax has neither my permission nor a valid permissible purpose to supply a credit report containing my personal information. The absence of such permissible purpose makes the presence of this information a violation of my privacy rights. 
Additionally, 18 USC 1028a addresses identity theft and its associated penalties, highlighting that identity theft is a serious crime. 
The unauthorized acquisition and use of my personal information is a criminal act and violates principles of privacy and consumer protection. 
Under 15 USC 1681c-2, credit reporting agencies are required to block information that results from identity theft. The transactions in question were not conducted by me. If my information has been compromised due to identity theft, I expect Equifax to take all necessary action to correct and block this information as ordered by law.

l from now on request a formal investigation into my dispute and the removal of any incorrect information from Equifaxs records if it is determined that no permissible purpose exists for maintaining this information. I am expecting Equifax to comply with the FCRA, 18 USC 1028a, and 15 USC 1681c-2 to fix any issues related to identity theft.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within XXXX business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end.
