Complaint narrative:
Formal Complaint Regarding Unresolved Case Since XX/XX/year> I am writing to formally express my frustration and disappointment with the way my case has been handled since it was first opened on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. This is now the **third time** I am reopening this case because of the bank 's failure to address it properly. 

Since the case was initiated, **no one has bothered to take any action** to resolve it : 1. No one contacted me to request documents or supporting evidence.

2. No one called, emailed, or sent any correspondence to provide updates or request additional information.

3. Despite these lapses, the case was closed not once, but **twice**, without any meaningful effort to investigate the matter. 

I have provided clear and compelling evidence, which I am **faxing again**, to demonstrate that the merchandise in question was returned to the seller. Yet, the banks repeated neglect in resolving this dispute has left me with no choice but to escalate this issue. 

As a long-term customer with **three business accounts** at this bank, I am appalled at the lack of professionalism and care shown in this matter. It is unacceptable that the bank is essentially **gifting my money to the seller** while ignoring all the evidence I have submitted. 

This ongoing negligence raises serious concerns about the integrity and competence of the banks operations. It is not just a matter of resolving this case, but also about addressing the broader failure of your team to fulfill its responsibility to your customers. 

I demand immediate attention to this issue and expect to receive a response with a clear timeline for resolution. If this matter is not resolved promptly, I will be left with no option but to escalate my complaint further, both within the bank and externally if necessary. 

You can reach me directly at my phone number or email address. I expect a prompt and professional response to this letter.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Dispute of Inaccurate Collection Account Under the FCRA To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to dispute a collection account that is inaccurately reported on my Experian credit report. The collection agency associated with this account is not licensed or permitted to collect debts from California residents. As such, this account violates both state and federal consumer protection laws and should not appear on my credit report.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 USC 1681e ( b ), credit reporting agencies are required to maintain reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy in consumer reports. Reporting a collection account from an agency not authorized to operate in my state is a failure to comply with this obligation. 

Details of the Disputed Account Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Amount Alleged Owed : {$1600.00} California law requires debt XXXX to be licensed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation ( DFPI ) to collect debts from California residents. A search of the DFPIs records confirms that this collection agency is not authorized to collect debts in California. Therefore, the reporting of this account is not only inaccurate but also unlawful. 

Actions Requested Conduct an Investigation : Investigate the legitimacy of this collection agency and its authority to operate in California. 

Remove the Inaccurate Information : Delete this collection account from my credit report if the agency can not demonstrate that it is legally licensed to collect debts in my state. 
Provide Written Confirmation : Send me a written response confirming the removal of the account and provide an updated copy of my credit report reflecting the correction. 

Please complete your investigation and respond within the 30 days required under 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ). Failure to address this matter may result in further action to protect my rights, including filing complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and the California Attorney Generals office. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX, XXXX
