Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence | provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Request for Reinvestigation and Removal of Charge-Off Account # XXXX To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to dispute the accuracy of a charge-off listed on my credit report under the account XXXX  # XXXX. I have received a 1099-C form for this account, indicating that the debt was canceled. According to the Internal Revenue Code ( IRC ) 6050P, a 1099-C form is issued when a creditor cancels a debt of {$600.00} or more. This means the debt has been legally forgiven and should no longer be reported as a charge-off.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 611 ( a ), I have the right to dispute any information on my credit report that I believe is inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable. As the debt has been canceled and a 1099-C form has been issued, the reporting of this charge-off is both inaccurate and misleading. 

I request that you conduct a reinvestigation of this matter under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and remove the charge-off from my credit report. If the information can not be verified, it must be deleted from my credit file according to FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ).

Please provide me with written confirmation that this item has been corrected and removed. If you are unable to verify the accuracy of this information, it must be deleted from my credit report as required by law. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your response.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: PR

Complaint narrative:
Currently, my credit report shows a discrepancy regarding my bankruptcy. TransUnion is reporting the bankruptcy on my credit history, while XXXX is not reporting it. 

This inconsistency suggests that the information provided by TransUnion may be inaccurate or incorrect. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA - 15 U.S.C. 1681 ), the information in credit reports must be accurate, verifiable, and consistent across all credit bureaus. 

I requested that TransUnion verify this information, but I have not received a satisfactory response. Since XXXX is not reporting this bankruptcy, it demonstrates that the data may not be accurate. Therefore, I request that this information be immediately removed from my credit report, as its maintenance violates my rights under the FCRA. 

By failing to correct this error, TransUnion is in violation of FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ), which requires credit bureaus to investigate and remove inaccurate or unverifiable information within a reasonable time.

Complaint narrative:
Equifax XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, GA XXXX Re : Request for Deletion of Settlement from Credit Report Account Number : XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy of the settlement payment reflected on my credit report for the above-referenced XXXX XXXX account ( Account Number XXXX XXXX ). I respectfully request that this entry be deleted from my credit report in accordance with my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. 
Upon reviewing my credit file, I have identified that the settlement payment for this account is negatively affecting my credit score and inaccurately reflects my financial standing. Under U.S. law, I am entitled to a fair and accurate credit report. Given that the settlement payment has been made in full, I believe this entry is no longer a reflection of my current financial situation. 
Please be advised that I am exercising my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which requires that all information on my credit report be accurate, complete, and verifiable. The settlement payment made to XXXX XXXX has been satisfied, and I request that this entry be removed from my credit report. I would also like to remind you that according to the FCRA, negative information should only remain on my credit report for a limited period, and I believe this settlement has exceeded the appropriate duration. 
As such, I am requesting that you conduct a thorough investigation into this matter, and based on the outcome of your investigation, please delete any reference to this settlement from my credit re-port. 
Please confirm receipt of this letter and provide me with written notification of the results of your investigation and any actions taken. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
