Since this information has already been removed by another credit bureau, I request that you review this account and remove it from my report to reflect the same level of accuracy. 

Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), I demand that you conduct a reasonable and thorough investigation of this dispute.

Complaint narrative:
I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record.

It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

On XX/XX/XXXXXX/XX/XXXXthe Bureau filed a lawsuit against Early Warning Services , LLC ( EWS ),XX/XX/XXXXXXXX, XXXX, claiming they failed to safegaurd the Zelle network from fraud and other defects, which resulted in hundreds of millions of dollars in consumer losses. EWS is a financial technology company headquartered in XXXX, Arizona and is co-owned by seven of the largest banks in the United States, including XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX. EWS designed and operates the Zelle network and app, which is now the most widely available peer-to-peer payment network in the United States.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable re-investigation 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 I 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:
Account Number : XXXX I am writing to formally dispute inaccuracies in the reporting of the above-referenced account on my credit report. A review of the details provided by your bureau and those reported by other credit bureaus has revealed several inconsistencies and potential errors that require immediate investigation and correction. 

Discrepancies Identified : Account Type and Details : The account type is consistently listed as " Installment Account '' across XXXX and Experian. However, Experian further categorizes it as a " Secured Loan. '' Please verify and confirm the correct account type and details. 
Balance and Past Due Amount : Both XXXX and Experian report a balance of {$4500.00} and a past-due amount of {$4500.00}. These figures should be verified for accuracy with the creditor, as they may no longer reflect the current account status.

Account Status and Payment Status : The account is marked as " Closed '' with a " Charge-off '' or " Charged off as bad debt '' payment status. Additionally, XXXX includes a comment indicating " Profit and loss write-off, '' which is absent in Experians report. Please investigate whether these designations are accurate and align with the original creditors reporting. 
Last Reported and Date Last Active : XXXX lists the " Last Reported '' date as XX/XX/XXXX and the " Date Last Active '' as the same. Experian, however, reports the " Date Last Active '' as XX/XX/XXXX. These discrepancies must be reconciled and updated with accurate information. 
Date of Last Payment : Both bureaus report the date of last payment as XX/XX/XXXX. Please confirm that this date is correct and corresponds with the creditors records. 
Requested Actions : Conduct a comprehensive investigation with the original creditor or data furnisher to verify the account information.

Update any incorrect or inconsistent details regarding the account type, status, balance, past-due amount, and activity dates. 
Provide a detailed explanation of your investigation, including the evidence used to verify the reported information. 
Legal Obligations : Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to ensure the accuracy, completeness, and verifiability of all reported information. Please resolve this dispute and provide me with an updated credit report reflecting accurate data within the legally mandated XXXX period.
