Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: OK

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 
I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. List all accounts : " XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: OneMain Finance Corporation

Complaint narrative:
There are XXXX accounts reporting negatively on my credit report from OneMain Financial. This account number is listed for XXXX accounts with different balances : XXXX. XXXX balance is {$9300.00}, and there is another account with this same account number with a balance of {$9400.00}. 
Both accounts have the same account number, however they have XXXX different balances. I called OneMain Financial on XX/XX/XXXX, and spoke with XXXX in the " fraud '' department and asked for validation of these XXXX accounts. I was advised that XXXX account was from XXXX, ( which is well over the age of reporting ) and the other account she did not have any information for. I informed XXXX that I did not open any accounts in XXXX and I was in the military stationed away at that time and could provide documented proof. I also sent a certified letter to OneMain requesting validation of these XXXX accounts. Proper validation of these XXXX accounts have not been done. I received a letter on XX/XX/XXXX, from OneMain stating that these accounts were verified as accurate with no documentation provided to me as I requested in the letter. These accounts are not accurate and OneMain has failed to provide me with proper documentation regarding these XXXX accounts which are impacting my ability to qualify for a VA loan. I have also sent a certified letter to the credit bureaus requesting full validation of these XXXX accounts in addition to sending a letter to the VA Attorney General 's office. This company has failed to comply with the FDCPA and FCRA and is reporting information to the credit bureaus that are adversely impacting me.

This must be illegal. The cash advance was paid off back in XXXX.
