I had a bankruptcy in XX/XX/year>, I had reported multiple items that were reflecting negative on my account SINCE THE DISCHARGE they continued to STAY on my credit and Experian did NOTHING. I disputed it yesterday and now it IS NOT updated or not red. This has affected me tremendously! They are not responding to my other disputed either! Not even a 24 hr turn around. I cant view the reasoning behind the dispute. Experian is the only credit bureau that has my score under a XXXX. PLEASE DO SOMETHING! This mess up has cost me so much already including an approval for a house!

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint because a credit reporting agency has reinserted an account into my credit file that was previously deleted. The account, reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX, was rightfully removed but was reinserted without proper notification as required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Under FCRA Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ), the credit bureau is required to notify me in writing within 5 business days of re-inserting any previously deleted information. I never received such notice, which is a clear violation of federal law. 

Furthermore, the bureau must have received certified documentation from the furnisher proving the information is accurate before reinsertion. To date, no documentation has been provided to me. 

I am demanding that the reinserted account be permanently removed. If this is not addressed, I will pursue legal action for damages under FCRA Sections 616 and 617 ( 15 U.S. Code 1681n and 1681o ) for willful and negligent noncompliance.

Complaint narrative:
Credit bureaus are reporting multiple negative accounts without providing proper verification as required by the FCRA. 
Problem Description : I submitted a formal validation request under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ), 611, and 623, asking for verification of the following negative accounts that appear on my credit reports : - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Despite sending my written request on XX/XX/year>, I have not received valid documentation, signed contracts, or evidence supporting the continued reporting of these accounts. The FCRA clearly states that unverifiable information must be removed. These accounts remain on my report and are negatively impacting my credit score and overall financial well-being. 
This is a direct violation of the FCRA. I request that the CFPB investigate this matter and require the involved agencies to remove any unverifiable information from my credit reports immediately. 
Companies Involved : - Experian - XXXX  - XXXX XXXX XXXX  : - Immediate deletion of the listed accounts if they can not be lawfully verified. 
- A formal investigation into the non-compliance by the credit bureaus. 
- Written confirmation that this issue hasbeenresolved.

Complaint narrative:
Date : XXXX XXXX To : Equifax Information Services LLC XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX CC : Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, D.C. XXXX Subject : Formal Dispute Request for Deletion of Authorized User Account ( XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX {$4300.00} ) Dear Equifax Dispute Department, I am writing to dispute the reporting of the following credit card account on my Equifax credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX : {$4300.00} I am not the primary account holder of this credit card. I am listed only as an authorized user, and therefore, I hold no legal responsibility for this debt. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), authorized user accounts may be excluded from credit reports when they do not reflect the financial obligations of the consumer. 

Legal Basis for Removal FCRA Provisions : 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( h ) : This section defines a consumers relationship to a debt. As an authorized user, I am not contractually liable for this account and therefore should not be held accountable on my credit report. 
15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) : Equifax is required to ensure maximum possible accuracy in consumer credit files. Reporting an account for which I am not financially responsible is inaccurate and misleading. 
15 U.S.C. 1681i : Credit reporting agencies are required to reinvestigate disputed information and remove any unverifiable or incorrect data within 30 days of the dispute being filed. 

Requested Action : XXXX. Immediately delete the XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX account ( balance : {$4300.00} ) from my Equifax credit report. 

XXXX. Permanently block the account from being reinserted unless documentation is provided proving that I am the primary account holder, which I am not. 

XXXX. Provide written confirmation of the results of your reinvestigation and any actions taken to resolve this dispute. 

Failure to comply with these federal consumer protection requirements will result in me filing formal complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and, if necessary, pursuing legal remedies under applicable FCRA provisions. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I expect a response within the time frame mandated by the FCRA. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

To do what is fair to me as a consumer, delete and update my credit report as they are reporting inaccurate information that I have made them aware of but still keep reporting!

Complaint narrative:
I went to XXXX in XXXX of XXXX and on XX/XX/XXXX I was charged {$800.00} twice on my XXXX Citi credit card from the car rental company XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX ). I only rented one car from there so there was no reason for them to charge me twice. I then called them constantly and texted them that they charged me twice and they never returned me my money. I then proceeded to report it to my bank ( Citi Bank ). I provided evidence that I was charged twice and they cancelled my dispute without any proper reasoning of why they sided with the XXXX XXXX XXXX when clearly they have no evidence that I rented two cars. I received the dispute decision on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX and because of the extra {$800.00} charge on my credit card it was over the limit affecting my credit score and having me to pay more interest.
