Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to formally notify you that my identity has been stolen, and despite taking the necessary steps to address the issue, no resolution has been reached after more than 30 days. I have taken the following actions to rectify the situation : I have contacted all three major credit bureaus ( XXXX, Experian, and XXXX ) to report the identity theft and requested that they take immediate corrective action on my credit report. 
I have filed a formal complaint with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) and created an Identity Theft Report through the FTC 's identity theft process. 
Despite these steps, the fraudulent information remains on my credit reports, and no resolution has been provided. It has now been over 30 days since I initially reported the identity theft, and I am seeking your assistance to expedite the deletion of all fraudulent accounts and information from my credit file. 

Please take immediate action to ensure that my rights as a consumer are protected, and that my credit report reflects accurate information. 

Thank you for your urgent attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
1 am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information being reported on my credit report regarding a charge-ott. The account in question Is listed as tollows : Creditor Name : ASHRO Account Number : XXXX Date of Charge-Off : XX/XX/2018 Creditor Name : ASHRO Account Number : XXXX Date of Charge-Off : XX/XX/2018 It has come to my attention that the charge-off is being reported month after month on my payment history, which is incorrect. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information such as a charge-off should onlv be reported once. corresponding to the date it was charged off.

The FCRA requires that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of the information they report ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). Repeatedly reporting the charge-off each month results in a misleading and inaccurate credit report, which has significantly harmed my credit score.

Additionally, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is seven years from the date of the first delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ). Continuously reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reset the statute of limitations and is improper I request that you promptly investigate this account and correct the inaccurate information by removing the repeated entries of the charge-off from my payment history. Please update my credit report accordingly and provide me with a confirmation of these corrections.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB representatives, I am writing to bring to your attention an issue I have encountered with City XXXX  and City regarding a misleading booking that was not resolved to my satisfaction. The booking was made in XXXX for a hotel in XXXX, XXXX, costing approximately {$1200.00} per night. The property was advertised with amenities such as Wi-Fi in all rooms, a bar, and a spa, none of which were available during my stay. Additionally, the Wi-Fi service was unreliable, and the establishment was more akin to an Airbnb, contrary to its advertised description as a hotel. Wifi only worked when you were standing by the door at desk. 

Despite expressing my dissatisfaction both during and after my stay, and providing evidence of the lack of amenities, and screenshots of the booking reservation showing the provided amenities, after 100+ emails, City XXXX offered only XXXX loyalty points as compensation. I find this insufficient given the nature of the complaint and the premium nature of the booking. I subsequently requested a refund equating to a third of the booking value, which was denied. 

After escalating the matter, I was informed by City that the booking is nonrefundable, effectively concluding the dispute. I believe this violates consumer protection principles as the services were misrepresented. Moreover, Citys administration of the dispute with City XXXX presents a conflict of interest, compromising the objectivity of the resolution process. 

I am particularly concerned that Citys policies may not align with the Fair Credit Billing Act and other consumer protection laws. This situation has caused me significant inconvenience and confusion due to the ineffective support and lack of clear, consumer-centric resolution procedures. 

I kindly ask for your guidance and intervention to ensure that my complaint is fairly addressed and that appropriate measures are taken to prevent such occurrences from affecting other consumers. Please let me know if any further information is required to support this inquiry. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
