Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
After requesting this account to be investigated for a third time its still inaccurate and incomplete. I am no longer requesting another investigation demanding a DELETION immediately. Adatonally, the FCRA mandates that credit reporting agencies maintain accurate '' information ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). Repeatedly reporting the charge off each month creates an inaccurate and misteading credit repon, which negatively impacts my credit score Moreover, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge off is seven years from the date of the first delinquency leading to the charge off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( XXXX ) ). Reporting this Charge off multiple times does not extend this statute and is therefore improper.

Fair Credit Reporting Act, specifically under 15 USC 1681e ( b ), 15 USC 1681i, 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 5 ), and 15 USC 1681s-2. This demand for deletion stems from your failure to accurately report my consumer credit information following a previous notice of these discrepancies. Please be aware that automated responses or XXXX verifications are unacceptable for addressing this matter. Given the clear and repeated violations of the FCRA, I am not requesting a reinvestigation but rather the immediate deletion of this account from my credit file. I expect you to comply with this request swiftly and to confirm in writing the deletion of these entries. I appreciate your immediate attention to this urgent matter and expect a response within in 15-days. 


I request that you promptly DELETE this account IMMEDIATELY!
