Consumer complaint received 2025-10-01 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: FL

Complaint narrative:
This is a follow-up complaint regarding Experian 's continued reporting of inaccurate, unverifiable, and misleading information on my credit file in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( GLBA ). Despite my previous disputes, the same problem remains unresolved. Experian has repeatedly failed to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation or provide proper validation as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ).

Under FACTA Title I, Section 151, consumer reporting agencies are obligated to ensure that all reported data is accurate, complete, and properly verified. Moreover, 15 U.S.C. 6801 of the GLBA imposes a duty to safeguard the accuracy and confidentiality of consumer information, which includes preventing the dissemination of false or misleading data.

Additionally, under the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), codified at 15 U.S.C. 1601 et seq., financial disclosures must be clear, complete, and accurate. The continued failure to correct and validate this disputed information constitutes a violation of my consumer rights and subjects Experian to potential regulatory and civil liability.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX CFPB ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX Standard Compliance Inaccurate Late Payment Reporting Dear CFPB, I am submitting this dispute pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding inaccurate reporting on my consumer credit reports with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  for the following account : Creditor : Perpay Inc Account Type : Revolving Reported Credit Limit : {$1700.00} Reported Balance : {$0.00} Upon review of my credit files, I noticed inaccurate and conflicting reporting regarding my payment history for this account. Specifically : The account is currently reporting as Pays/Paid as Agreed ( positive status ). 

However, in the XXXX XXXX XXXX, the bureaus are also reporting a XXXX late payment entry for XX/XX/XXXX. 

This creates a direct contradiction because the account can not simultaneously be reported as Pays as Agreed while also being marked with late payments. 


This type of reporting is noncompliant with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and creates an unfairly negative impact on my XXXX XXXX XXXX. Once an account has been corrected to Pays as Agreed, the payment history must also reflect accurate and consistent reporting across all months. Leaving the 30 days late entry while showing the account as Pays as Agreed is misleading, inaccurate, and violates FCRA XXXX ( b ), which requires credit reporting agencies to ensure maximum possible accuracy of consumer information. 

I am requesting that the CFPB conduct a reinvestigation with all three credit bureaus ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) and the furnisher ( Perpay Inc ) to ensure that : 1. The account reporting is corrected to reflect accurate payment history.

2. The erroneous 30 days late entries are removed from the 2-year payment history. 


XXXX. My reports are updated in full XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to show that this account is Pays/Paid as Agreed with no delinquencies. 



Enclosed is a copy of my recent credit report screenshot showing the conflicting reporting of 30 days late along with Pays as Agreed. 

I request that this matter be corrected and updated promptly. Please provide me with a written response and updated results of the investigation within the required timeframe. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Last XXXX of XXXX Date of Birth : XX/XX/XXXX Phone XXXX Email Address : XXXX XXXX

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I reviewed my Experian credit file and found several accounts being misreported with late payments, even though the balances and past due amounts clearly indicate otherwise. The following accounts are in error : XXXX  XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Past Due : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX Past Due : {$0.00} XXXX  XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Each of these tradelines is being presented with derogatory late payment history that is not supported by the actual account data. For example, both the XXXX and XXXX XXXX accounts show Past Due : {$0.00} yet still carry late payment marks, which makes no logical sense and directly contradicts the reported balances. My XXXX account, dating back to XXXX, continues to reflect negative payment history far beyond a reasonable reporting period, without proper documentation or verification. 

Experian is obligated under the Fair Credit Reporting Act to maintain maximum possible accuracy in consumer reports. Reporting an account as current with XXXX past due while simultaneously flagging it with late payment history is inherently inaccurate and misleading. This type of contradictory reporting creates a false narrative about my payment history that is unfairly damaging my creditworthiness. 

These inaccuracies are not minor. A single late payment notation can drop a score significantly, and multiple false entries compound the harm. Because of these errors, I have been denied favorable credit terms, forced into higher interest rates, and had to justify myself to lenders who rely on Experians reporting. It is unacceptable for Experian to publish information that can not be both true and false at the same time.
