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: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Ive been disputing these unauthorized accounts for months, yet theyre still showing on my Experian report, and this is completely unacceptable. I specifically requested a Method of Verification back in XXXX, but Experian has ignored my request and failed to provide any proof showing how these accounts were verified. If you can not provide proper validation, you have no permissible purpose under 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( 2 ) to continue reporting them. The accounts in question are XXXX XXXX XXXX. ( Account XXXX. XXXX ) and XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Account XXXX. XXXX ). Experian is also required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of all information reported, yet these accounts remain without any verification or supporting documentation. This situation has now been dragging on since XXXX, wasting my time, energy, and money, while damaging my credit score, affecting my credibility with lenders, and creating unnecessary financial stress. I have a letter confirming that these accounts were previously removed, yet theyve been sitting on my report again for months without justification. No consumer should have to go through repeated disputes for the same issue. This needs to be resolved immediately to prevent further harm to my financial standing and stability.

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.

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 4 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. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Complaint narrative:
The issue concerns inconsistent and inaccurate reporting of the same account across credit bureaus. One credit bureau lists the account as XXXX XXXX  in XX/XX/XXXX, while another bureau reports XXXX  XXXX  continuing through XX/XX/XXXX and then marks it charged off. A charge-off can only occur once, and these conflicting dates create a misleading and extended derogatory impact on my credit history. I am requesting that the information be corrected so that the account is reported consistently and accurately in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Complaint narrative:
The consumer reporting agency has willfully violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681b Permissible Purposes of Consumer Reports, by furnishing or reporting information on my credit file without any permissible purpose, written consent, or legal authorization. At no time did I grant authorization for this agency to obtain, use, or disclose my consumer information, and the continued reporting of such entries constitutes an unlawful act that compromises both the accuracy and integrity of my credit file. This misreporting has directly harmed my creditworthiness, caused emotional and financial distress, and placed undue barriers on my ability to secure credit, housing, and employment opportunities.
