Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint against Experian, XXXX, XXXX, and a Debt Collector for multiple violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and state laws regarding debt collection in Mississippi. 


Violation of Mississippi Statute of Limitations on Debt Collection : Under Mississippi state law, the statute of limitations on debt collection is three years. The credit reporting agencies and the debt collector have violated this statute by continuing to report and collect on accounts that are past the legal statute of limitations. These accounts should have been removed from my credit report and should not have been pursued for collection beyond the three-year limit. 


Identity Theft and Data Breach Impact : I am a victim of identity theft as a result of a data breach. I have contacted the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) and filed a report, which is attached for your reference ( FTC Report Number. This breach has compromised my Social Security number and resulted in unauthorized accounts being placed on my credit report. 

Failure to Block and Remove Information : Despite my multiple attempts to notify Experian, XXXX, and XXXX about this identity theft and data breach, they have failed to block and remove the inaccurate and unauthorized information from my credit report and failed to remove past the legal statute of limitations debt. Under FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I have the right to request that fraudulent information be removed from my credit report when I provide proper documentation, such as an FTC Identity Theft Report.
