Consumer complaint received 2025-10-14 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: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information reported on my credit report concerning a charge-off. Below are the details of the account in question : It has come to my attention that this charge-off is being reported repeatedly monthly, which is incorrect. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information such as a charge-off should be reported only once, reflecting the date it was charged off. 
Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are required to ensure the accuracy of the information they provide ( 15 U.S.C. 81681e ( b ) ). The continuous monthly reporting of this charge-off misrepresents my payment history and negatively impacts my credit score. 
Furthermore, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is XXXX years from the date of the initial delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 c ( a ) ( 4 ) ). 
Repeatedly reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reflect the statute of limitations and is therefore improper. 
I request an immediate investigation into this matter and the correction of my credit report by removing the repeated entries of the charge-off from my payment history. Please update my credit report accordingly and provide written confirmation of these corrections. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I discovered a hard credit inquiry from OneMain Financial on my XXXX  credit report dated for XX/XX/year>. I did not apply for any loan, credit line, or financial product with OneMain Financial, nor did I authorize this credit inquiry. 

I have made multiple attempts to resolve this matter directly with the company.

I have also sent an email to their customer service and privacy departments requesting proof of authorization, but have not received a response.

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of XXXX, my wife immigrated to the United States. The week of XX/XX/XXXX, I added my wife as a joint account holder to my checking account via the online form and calling to verify our identities. The week of XX/XX/XXXX, Capital One locked my account stating that they could not verify my wifes identity and told us the only way we could resolve this issue would be to fly to XXXX, XXXX  and verify her identity at a Capital One branch. This is extremely unusual and fraudulent considering Capital One has always verified my identity electronically, but suddenly is engaging in discriminatory practice when it concerns my immigrant wife. I need my account unlocked so I can pay for my college and bills, I have been racking up unnecessary debt for the past 2 months because my paychecks are not going through and none of my bills are being paid. I am reaching out to the CFPB so we can have a cordial resolution to this matter before I assemble a legal team to take action against Capital One on this matter. Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon!

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:
This letter is a formal notice of dispute under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) regarding inaccurately reported late payment dates on the above-referenced account appearing in my credit file. 
The reported derogatory payment data is factually and legally incorrect and constitutes a violation of my rights under multiple federal statutes. 
Creditor Name : [ XXXX ] Account Number : [ XXXX * XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Creditor Name : [ XXXX XXXX ] Account Number : [ XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Creditor Name : [ XXXX ] Account Number : [ XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ] Creditor Name : [ XXXX XXXX ] Account Number : [ XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ] Creditor Name : [ XXXX XXXX XXXX ] Account Number : [ XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ] Creditor Name : [ XXXX ] Account Number : [ XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ] Creditor Name : [ XXXX ] Account Number : [ XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ] Creditor Name : [ XXXX XXXX ] Account Number : XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ] FCRA SECTION 602 RIGHT TO PRIVACY ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ) Under the FCRA, I have a right to privacy in the handling and dissemination of my credit information. The credit bureau is not permitted to report data that is inaccurate, unverifiable, or misleading, especially when such reporting creates a false impression of delinquency. 
FCRA SECTION 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) NO WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION GIVEN ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), consumer reporting agencies are prohibited from furnishing account information without the consumers written instructions. I have never given written authorization for the dissemination of false or misleading late payment information. 
TILA SECTION 1666b IMPROPER LATE PAYMENT DESIGNATION ( 15 U.S.C. 1666b ) According to the Truth in Lending Act, a creditor may not treat a payment on an open-end credit account as late for any purpose if received by the due date or within the grace period.

Reporting a late payment that was not legally late is a blatant violation of this federal protection and exposes both the data furnisher and the credit reporting agency to liability under 15 U.S.C.

1681i.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Date : XX/XX/year> Consumer Financial Protection Bureau RE : Continuation of Complaint Against Sallie Mae Company : Sallie Mae Account # : XXXX CFPB Case Reference : XXXX To Whom It May Concern, This letter serves as a continuation and follow-up to my prior complaint filed against Sallie Mae regarding their failure to provide documentation verifying the validity and accuracy of the above-referenced account. 

On XX/XX/year>, I submitted a written request to Sallie Mae formally disputing the accuracy of the information being reported and requesting validation of the alleged debt. My request specifically included a demand for a copy of the original signed promissory note or loan agreement, proof that Sallie Mae is the current holder in due course, and complete account documentation. 

In their most recent response dated XX/XX/year>, Sallie Mae asserted that their reporting is accurate but failed to provide any of the documents requested. Referring me to view documents electronically through their website does not constitute legal verification or satisfy their obligations under : 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires furnishers to conduct a reasonable investigation and provide documentation verifying the accuracy of disputed information ; and 12 C.F.R. 1022.43 under CFPB Regulation V, which outlines the furnishers duty to investigate consumer disputes in a thorough and documented manner. 

As of today, Sallie Mae has not met its burden of proof and continues to report information to the credit bureaus without providing verifiable evidence that a legally binding, signed agreement exists. This constitutes noncompliance with federal law and a failure to validate the alleged debt. 

I am requesting that the CFPB re-open or continue the investigation into this matter and direct Sallie Mae to produce the original signed agreement and full account validation as required by federal law. 

All correspondence from Sallie Mae should be sent to me by U.S. Mail only, not through any electronic platform or website. 

Thank you for your continued assistance and for holding Sallie Mae accountable to the standards established under the FCRA and CFPB regulations. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
