Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IL

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.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint against Experian, Equifax, TransUnion, and third-party data furnishers XXXX and XXXX for unlawfully reporting a bankruptcy case on my consumer credit reports without proper verification, in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Rule 9037 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure. 

The credit bureaus are reporting the following bankruptcy : XXXX - XXXX XXXX DISMISSED XXXX - DISCHARGED as if it were obtained directly from the United States Bankruptcy XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Ohio. However, the Clerk of Court has confirmed that the court does not report, furnish, or verify bankruptcy information to credit reporting agencies or their vendors. 
Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) & ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ), I requested the method of verification from each bureau. Their responses were insufficient, failing to identify the individual, entity, or department who verified the bankruptcy, the date of verification, the medium of verification, or any documentation received from the original source.

This violates : - 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation - 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) Failure to provide the method of verification - 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) Failure to maintain maximum possible accuracy - 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ) Reporting obsolete/unverified adverse information - Rule 9037 Improper disclosure of personal identifiers My requests for verification have been met with generic template letters that do not satisfy the requirements of the FCRA. Because the original court has confirmed they do not furnish or verify this data, the only possible source is a private third-party data miner, which is not a legally permissible verification source under the law.

I am requesting CFPB intervention to : 1. Require each CRA to produce the complete method of verification.

2. Order the deletion of the bankruptcy if verification from the original court can not be produced. 
XXXX. Investigate the role of XXXX, XXXX, and other third parties in furnishing unverifiable data. 
XXXX. Enforce compliance with Rule 9037 to protect my personal identifiers.
