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: TX

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/2024 Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Reporting Dear CFPB, I am filing a formal complaint against Experian for failing to correct inaccurate information regarding late payments reported on my credit report for the account XXXX with XXXX XXXX. 
Despite multiple requests for correction through letters dated XX/XX/XXXX  and XX/XX/, my disputes have been ignored or mishandled. This ongoing issue represents a violation of both the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). 
FCRA Violations According to 15 U.S. Code 1681i, credit reporting agencies must ensure the accuracy of information in consumer files. In my case, this requirement has not been upheld, as the inaccurate late payment reporting has persisted across multiple disputes. 
Additionally, under 15 U.S. Code 1666b, creditors must send periodic statements at least 21 days before the payment due date. The inaccurate reporting of late payments suggests a failure to comply with this requirement, contributing to the errors on my credit report. 
TILA Violations The Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) emphasizes the necessity for accurate and timely disclosures to consumers. The inaccurate reporting of late payments has harmed my creditworthiness and violated these provisions. 
Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ) Furthermore, under the Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ), creditors are responsible for providing timely statements to prevent unfair penalties to consumers. The errors in late payment reporting on my account indicate that this obligation has not been met, resulting in undue damage to my credit score. 
Pattern of Non-Compliance The persistent late payment errors across XXXX, Experian, and XXXX demonstrate a pattern of inaccurate reporting, causing undue harm to my credit score despite my previous disputes. 
I formally request that the incorrect late payment notations be removed from my credit report immediately, and that the account status be corrected across all three credit bureaus. Failure to address these inaccuracies will result in further escalation, including legal action and additional complaints to relevant regulatory agencies. 
Desired Resolution : Immediate removal of the late payment notation from my credit report. 
Written confirmation of the correction. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Dispute of Unauthorized Credit Inquiries To Whom It May Concern at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax regarding unauthorized credit inquiries that have appeared on my credit report. After reviewing my recent report, I identified several inquiries that I did not authorize and have no knowledge of. Despite contacting Equifax to resolve this matter, these inquiries remain on my report, causing significant frustration. The unauthorized inquiries in question are as follows : Disputed Inquiry : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/year> Attached to this complaint is an Identity Theft Report filed with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ). This report, along with the corresponding case number, supports my claim regarding the unauthorized credit inquiries on my credit report. I kindly request that the necessary steps be taken to address this issue in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
I appreciate your prompt attention and review of this document as part of the investigation. I believe Equifax has violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by failing to properly investigate and remove these inquiries from my credit report, even after I brought the issue to their attention. 
The sections of the FCRA that support my claim are : Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), which outlines my right to dispute inaccurate or incomplete information. I have disputed these inquiries, but Equifax has not conducted a satisfactory investigation. Section 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ), which grants me the right to access my file. Upon reviewing this information, I confirmed that I never authorized these inquiries. 
Section 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ), which details the permissible purposes for credit report inquiries. I did not give consent for these inquiries, and Equifax has not provided evidence of a valid reason for them. Despite my efforts to resolve this directly with Equifax, these unauthorized inquiries continue to negatively impact my credit report. I request that the CFPB intervene to ensure Equifax fulfills its legal obligations under the FCRA by removing the unauthorized inquiries and providing me with an updated credit report. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter, and I am happy to provide any additional information needed for your investigation. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I trust that you will act quickly to resolve this issue in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).
