Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
Collection I Charge Off ( EQ ) XXXX - XXXX - {$1000.00} XXXX  - XXXX - {$130.00} Equifax has a documented history of failing to properly investigate consumer disputes, leading to legal action for FCRA violations. This pattern of noncompliance is unacceptable, and I refuse to allow my financial profile to suffer due to Equifaxs negligence.

Federal law ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) requires Equifax to conduct a legitimate reinvestigation of all disputed information within 30 days. If any item can not be 100 % verified with legitimate, original documentation, it must be deleted. These reporting errors are actively damaging my financial standing, and I demand immediate corrective action. Any failure to comply will be met with further escalation.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my profound frustration and distress over Experians mishandling of my credit report. I am very upset that the fraudulent account XXXX, which was previously investigated and removed, has inexplicably reappeared on my report. This egregious error has caused me undue stress, anxiety, and potential harm to my financial reputation. 

Background and Violations : Fraudulent Identity Theft The XXXX account was confirmed as fraudulent and removed following my initial dispute. 
Its reappearance is a blatant violation of FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c2 ), which requires permanent blocking of identitytheftrelated items within four business days of proper documentation.

Failure to Validate Debt The creditor or its agent refused to validate this debt under FDCPA 809 ( b ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ) ). Despite this refusal, the alleged debt was unlawfully sold or transferred, compounding the violation and causing me further distress.

Inaccurate Personal Information The account lists my name incorrectly, underscoring that it has no legitimate connection to me and further evidencing its fraudulent nature.

Under FCRA 607 ( b ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ), consumer reporting agencies must employ reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracyprocedures Experian has clearly failed to follow. 
Precedent Case Law In XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX  ), the court held that rereporting of previously removed fraudulent items constitutes a violation of the FCRA and exposes reporting agencies to liability.

Complaint narrative:
I am requesting the removal of late payment marks from 2021 on my Self Financial credit builder loan and credit card. These marks are negatively impacting my credit profile, despite the fact that I have made consistent on time payments for years since the initial late payments. I have reached out to Self Financial numerous of times, requesting goodwill adjustments, and they have refused to accommodate the requests, even though the FCRA supports the right to dispute inaccurate, outdated, or unfair information.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Dispute of Unauthorized Hard Inquiries To Whom It May Concern : I am writing to formally dispute the following hard inquiries on my credit report, which I did not authorize. Additionally, one of these inquiries relates to being added as an authorized user on an account, which should not have resulted in a hard inquiry under federal guidelines. 
Unauthorized Inquiries : Creditor Name : XXXX Date : XX/XX/year> Reason : Unauthorized Creditor Name : XXXX  Date : XX/XX/year> Reason : Unauthorized Creditor Name : XXXX Finance Date : XX/XX/year> Reason : Unauthorized Creditor Name : XXXX  XXXX ( Bank ) Date : XX/XX/year> Reason : Added as an authorized user. Hard inquiries for authorized user status are not permissible under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
I request that these inquiries be investigated and promptly removed from my credit report. As stated in Section 609 ( e ) of the FCRA, creditors must provide documentation of permissible purpose for hard inquiries. Since I did not authorize these credit checks, they lack legal justification.

Supporting Details : The inquiry marked for authorized user status ( XXXX, XXXX XXXX ) was not an application for credit. Authorized user inquiries should only result in a soft inquiry, if any. 
Please conduct a thorough investigation and correct this error within 30 days, as required by law. I also request written confirmation of the resolution. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I filed a dispute with Experian concerning a potentially inaccurate account listed on my credit report. I gave them sufficient time to investigate the issue, as outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). However, I did not receive any formal acknowledgment, update, or conclusion to the investigation. The account in question remains on my report without any confirmation of its validity. This lack of response and failure to verify the accuracy of the information violates my rights under the FCRA. I am requesting CFPB 's help to hold Experian accountable and ensure that proper procedures are followed moving forward.
