Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I recently reviewed my credit report and discovered several accounts and personal details that are inaccurate and do not belong to me. These errors include outdated or incorrect addresses, multiple name variations I have never used, and accounts reporting late payments, charge-offs, or collections with inconsistent or unverifiable information across different credit bureaus. Some accounts show conflicting delinquency dates, while others have been settled or paid in full yet continue to be reported as derogatory. Additionally, there are hard inquiries that I did not authorize and for which I did not submit any credit application. These inaccuracies have been present for months, and despite prior disputes, they have not been corrected. The continued reporting of this false and misleading information is damaging my credit profile and violates the Fair Credit Reporting Acts requirement for maximum possible accuracy.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax have all wrongfully deleted multiple valid, authorized auto loan inquiries and an active XXXX XXXX XXXX account from my credit files after I submitted disputes. My original dispute was targeted at a fraudulent account, but I mistakenly included some legitimate inquiries. Instead of fulfilling their legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 607 ( b ) and 611 ( a ) to verify the accuracy of each item, all three bureaus deleted them outright including inquiries directly tied to active auto loans I currently pay ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ). 

By removing lawful, authorized items without proper investigation or verification, these bureaus have made my credit reports inaccurate and incomplete, violating the FCRAs maximum possible accuracy requirement. This reckless deletion has damaged my credit profile and may negatively affect my ability to obtain financing, credit, or favorable terms. 

I have contacted each bureau, provided a detailed list confirming that these items are mine, and requested reinstatement. All three have failed to correct their mistake. I am requesting that the CFPB take immediate enforcement action to ensure Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax restore the deleted authorized inquiries and the XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX account to my credit files without further delay.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing several inaccuracies currently appearing on my credit report, specifically unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate or approve. These entries represent a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly 15 U.S. Code 1681i, which requires a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates that information reported must be accurate to the maximum extent possible. In addition, I am disputing a potentially misreported late payment. According to 15 U.S.C. 1666b, creditors must allow at least 21 days between the statement date and the payment due date before classifying a payment as late. Based on my records, this standard may not have been met, or the payment was submitted on time and inaccurately reported as delinquent.
