Consumer complaint received 2024-12-05 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the outcome of a recent investigation conducted by Experian regarding a late payment reported on my credit file. I submitted documentation clearly demonstrating that a billing error occurred due to a XXXX-party issue, which resulted in a late payment being inaccurately reported for XX/XX/year>. However, Experian has only modified the reported late payment date from XX/XX/year> to XX/XX/year>, without removing the late payment, which remains incorrect. 

Specifically : - I provided my bank statements showing a payment of {$920.00} was made on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. This confirms that it was impossible for the late payment to have occurred in XX/XX/year> as reported. 
- Documentation submitted in my dispute also substantiates that the late payment in question resulted from a third-party billing error in XXXX XXXX, not from my negligence. 

XXXX failure to accurately address the evidence I provided constitutes a violation of my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically : XXXX. **15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) : Failure to Conduct a Reasonable Investigation** Experian is required to conduct a thorough investigation when a dispute is submitted. The failure to remove the inaccurate information after I provided clear evidence demonstrates a lack of reasonable investigation. 
XXXX. **15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) : Duty to Maintain Accurate Information** Credit reporting agencies must ensure the accuracy of the information they report. By continuing to report an incorrect late payment, Experian is in violation of this duty. 
XXXX. **15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) : Furnishers Duty to Investigate** If Experian communicated my dispute to the data furnisher, they also failed to properly investigate or correct the error. 

I request that Experian remove the late payment from my credit report entirely, as the evidence I provided demonstrates its inaccuracy. Failure to address this issue promptly may leave me with no choice but to escalate this matter further. 

Please confirm receipt of this complaint and provide an update on the corrective actions to be taken.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I identified several violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and related consumer protection laws affecting my credit report and personal information. Specifically : Willful Noncompliance ( FCRA Section 616 ) : Credit information about me was accepted and reported without verifying its accuracy, constituting willful negligence.

Failure to Disclose Opt-Out Rights ( FCRA Section 603 ) : I was not informed about my right to opt out of sharing personal information, a clear violation of my rights.

Furnishing Deceptive Forms ( FCRA Section 623 ) : Inaccurate inquiries and accounts were reported on my credit profile without proper validation, misrepresenting my financial history.

Debt Collection Violations : There were unfair practices, such as reporting debts without consent and sharing information with third-party agencies, which caused unnecessary stress and harassment.

Deceptive Reporting of Late Payments : Payments were marked as " late '' without clearly defining the criteria for late payment, leading to inaccurate reporting.

Finance Charge Miscalculations : Finance charges were reported inaccurately, violating financial accountability standards.

Improper Use of My Credit Report ( FCRA Section 604 ) : Information was reported without my consent, breaching permissible purpose regulations.

To address these issues, I requested the removal of incorrect personal information and inaccurate or unauthorized accounts. I cited specific laws, including civil liability for negligent noncompliance ( 15 USC 1681o ) and the requirement for proper debt validation ( 15 USC 1692g ).

My letter is a formal demand for immediate correction of these errors. Should these matters remain unresolved, I intend to pursue legal remedies under the FCRA and other applicable laws.

Complaint narrative:
My account was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on XXXX. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 


This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment to be updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). 


I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!
