Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint regarding serious violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) due to the reinsertion of previously deleted fraudulent accounts on my credit reportswithout legal notice, certification, or proper investigation. These accounts had been removed after being reported as identity theft, supported by FTC Identity Theft Reports, and should not have reappeared.

Violations of FCRA : FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ) Reinsertion Without Notice Credit bureaus must notify a consumer within 5 business days of reinserting deleted information and must also disclose the furnishers identity. I did not receive any such notice.

FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) Failure to Block Identity Theft Data Fraudulent data should be blocked and permanently suppressed when a valid identity theft report is provided. The accounts listed below reappeared after deletion, which is a violation.

FCRA 609 ( a ) Lack of Disclosure I was not provided with the required disclosures about the source of the reinsertion, denying me the transparency required under federal law. 



Fraudulent Accounts Reported : From FTC ReporXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX All of these accounts were previously disputed and deleted, and now appear to have been reinserted without any notification or legal basis. 



Personal and Employment Misuse : Fraudulent accounts are also tied to incorrect or misused employment data including : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX others not authorized by me. 



Requested Resolution : 1. Immediate and permanent deletion of all fraudulent accounts from all CRAs ( Equifax, Experian, TransUnion ).

2. A written explanation identifying : The name/contact of each furnisher responsible for reinsertion, Why the accounts were reinse
rted, Why I was not notified in writing as required.

3. A block on future reinsertion of all disputed accounts unless full FCRA compliance is met.

4. A full CFPB investigation into any CRA or furnisher who part
icipated in violating the FCRA.

5. Optional : I reserve the right to seek monetary damages under : FCRA 616 for willful noncompliance, FCRA 617 for negligent violations.

Company: Harris & Harris, Ltd.
State: WV

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I received an email from Experian that my credit scored decreased. I opened my credit score report and said I had a collection from Harris and Harris LTD for {$430.00} dls and that was the reason I had XXXX points substracted from my Credit Score. 

By further inquiry I called Harris and Harris LTD Phone : ( XXXX ) XXXX ( copied from the official site ) to ask what was going on, they tried to search in their database with my name, the alleged creditor and the amount. They couldn't find anything related or linked to an account. He suddenly asked for my social security number and in that moment I told him I didn't want to give that information. He said that, that was the only way to find me because my name was not uncommon. I told him I wouldn't give him my social and we said farewell.

I called XXXX  and asked them to dispute the collection from Harris and Harris LTD, they said it was going to be a process of sending a report from a federal or local police department, including the Federal Trade Commission or XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I went to my local police department and the officer who received me in person told me to contact the Collection offices because they seem legit and give them my social security number to have more information about the alleged " account ''.

I made the call with Harris and Harris LTD and spoke with XXXX XXXX and by the same process they didn't find me in their systems until he said that he needed my social and with my social security number they didn't find anything. I was not in their system. He then asked me my current address and my full name and suddenly he and his " supervisor '' they found my account. The account number they had in file " XXXX '' opened on XX/XX/XXXX, supposedly the creditor named " XXXX XXXX '' had the account XXXX with the address XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. That is the information Harris and Harris LTD XXXX XXXX gave to me. 

I don't know the validity of Harris and Harris LTD to not being able to identify me in their systems by my social security number and needed all my information to magically made me appear in their systems.

I already went to my local police station and they are also going to file a report with a search warrant. for further information please contact me.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

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.
