Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint based on new findings. I previously disputed a bankruptcy appearing on my Experian report. Since then : XXXX confirmed the bankruptcy was unverifiable and removed it from their system. 
XXXX stated they have no record or file under my name for the bankruptcy in question. 

A Voicemail left from XXXX, returned call within minutes, was told no such employee exists in that department. 

Despite this, Experian continues to report the bankruptcy, claiming it has been verified. This is materially false and constitutes : A violation of FCRA 1681i failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation, A violation of FCRA 1681e ( b ) furnishing information without ensuring accuracy, Continued reporting of inaccurate information after formal dispute and evidence submission.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against the three major credit reporting agenciesExperian, TransUnion, and Equifaxfor willful and repeated violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ).

Despite multiple disputes filed regarding inaccurate and unverifiable information on my credit report, all three bureaus have continued to list several accounts as verified without providing any proof of investigation, method of verification, or supporting documentation ( such as billing receipts or account ownership evidence ). 

The following accounts are inaccurately reported with the status of bankruptcy, which is misleading, damaging to my creditworthiness, and unsubstantiated : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX LOAN These accounts continue to appear on my Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax credit reports under derogatory or bankruptcy-related statuses , even though I have not received any verifiable information or supporting documentation from the credit bureaus or furnishers proving their legitimacy.


Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i of the FCRA, the credit bureaus are required to conduct a reasonable investigation when a consumer disputes the accuracy of any item on their credit report. Furthermore, 1681e ( b ) mandates that only accurate and verifiable information be reported. Their failure to remove these accounts and provide proper validation is a direct violation of these statutes.

Additionally, by continuing to furnish unverifiable and inaccurate information, the credit reporting agencies and data furnishers are in violation of provisions under the FDCPA, particularly as it relates to false representation of a debt, and failure to cease collection/reporting activity after a dispute under 15 U.S.C. 1692e and 1692g.

Relief Sought : Immediate deletion of all the above-referenced accounts from my credit reports across all three bureaus ( Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax ) .

A detailed explanation and documented proof of the investigation process used for each disputed item.

Compensation for damages and emotional distress caused by false reporting and failure to comply with federal law.

An assurance that the agencies will implement better compliance practices to ensure adherence to the FCRA and FDCPA.

Please consider this a formal complaint and an urgent request for investigation. I would appreciate your swift action in holding these agencies accountable and ensuring my rights as a consumer are protected under federal law. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
This is a continuation of CFPB Complaint ID XXXX. In that complaint, I challenged a tradeline that was previously disputed with Experian and marked verified on XX/XX/year>, after Experian completed a second investigation. 

Now, Experian is improperly claiming they need 60 more days to respond despite having already concluded their investigation. This is my second dispute on the same tradeline, and Experian has had more than sufficient time to investigate. The extension is not legitimate ; it is being used to delay correction and continue suppressing my credit. 

This bad-faith tactic is creating real harm by keeping inaccurate data on my report and blocking time-sensitive financial opportunities.
