Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this formal complaint regarding Equifax, Experian and TransUnions continued reporting of several negative items that remain inaccurate, unverifiable, and in violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Metro 2 standards.

Despite previous disputes, the following accounts have either been verified as reported, updated, or left in active dispute status without substantiated proof or method of verification from the original creditors : 1. XXXX XXXX XXXX Auto Loan Charge-Off Updated 2. XXXX XXXX Credit Card Charge-Off Active Dispute 3. XXXX XXXX ( Multiple accounts ) Credit Cards Charge-Off Active Dispute 4. XXXX XXXX XXXX  Credit Card Charge-Off Active Dispute 5. XXXX Charge-Off Verified As Reported 6. XXXX Charge-Off Verified As Reported 7. XXXX Loan Charge-Off Verified As Reported 8. XXXX XXXX Credit Card Updated 9 . XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Collection Updated These entries are materially inaccurate in terms of payment history, charge-off dates, and balances. Some contain misclassified or re-aged statuses that violate FCRA 1681c ( a ) and 1681e ( b ). Furthermore, neither Experian nor TransUnion provided a clear * * method of verification * * as required under 1681g and 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ).

I am requesting the CFPB to investigate this matter and require the credit reporting agencies to either : - Delete the accounts that can not be 100 % verified with original documentation, or - Provide complete, itemized verification in writing including account-level data from the original creditors.

Noncompliance with these consumer protections justifies legal relief under 1681n and 1681o.

Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report.

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress.

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.
