XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NJ XXXX XX/XX/2024 Experian XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX Subject : Formal Dispute and Request to Remove XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Dear Experian, I am writing to formally dispute the inclusion of XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on my credit report. I have notified this debt collection agency that I do not intend to pay the alleged amount listed on my file. Furthermore, I have not received any written validation of this debt as required by 15 U.S.C. 1692g under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ).

Under 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( a ), a debt collector is required to provide the consumer with a written notice within five days of the initial communication, containing : 1. The amount of the debt. 
2. The name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed.

3. A statement of the consumer 's right to dispute the debt within 30 days.

4. A statement that upon written dispute, the debt collector must provide verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment.

5. The name and address of the original creditor if different from the current creditor. 
To date, I have never received such a notice, which is a direct violation of the FDCPA. Without proper validation, this debt must be considered invalid. Additionally, under 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ), debt collectors must cease collection efforts until they provide verification of the debt.

In conjunction with 15 U.S.C. 1692c, which protects consumers from further communication upon written request, I am demanding that XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX cease all collection activity and that Experian immediately investigate and remove this entry from my credit report. 
Please consider this letter as my formal dispute under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and request for reinvestigation. I demand written confirmation once the disputed account has been removed from my report. If Experian requires further information to process my dispute, please contact me at the address provided above. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your response within the statutory XXXX period. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
It has come to my attention that the charge-off is being reported month after month on my payment history, which is incorrect. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information such as a charge-off should only be reported once, corresponding to the date it was charged off. The FCRA requires that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of the information they report ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). Repeatedly reporting the charge-off each month results in a misleading and inaccurate credit report, which has significantly harmed my credit score. 

Additionally, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is seven years from the date of the first delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ). Continuously reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reset the statute of limitations and is improper. 

I request that you promptly investigate this account and correct the inaccurate information by removing the repeated entries of the charge-off from my payment history. 

Please update my credit report accordingly and provide me with a confirmation of these corrections.

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, XXXX, and XXXX data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Complaint narrative:
I recently conducted a review of my credit report and found several items that have caused me significant distress. These items appear to be unverifiable, inaccurate, and questionable. Your agency has failed to ensure the accuracy of the information as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of Reports. This statute mandates that consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information, you are required to promptly delete or modify any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable during a reinvestigation. If you are unable to provide me with verifiable proof of the accuracy of the disputed items within 15 days of your investigation, these accounts and the related information must be removed from my credit report. 

Additionally, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I do not recognize any of the alleged creditors or debt collectors. I have never entered into a valid contract with any of these entities, nor have I engaged in any transactions with them. As such, these accounts are fraudulent and and inaccurate information. 

Moreover, under the Fair Credit Billing Act, my right to privacy has been violated, and this breach infringes upon my rights as outlined in The Privacy Act of 1974. Removing the inaccurate and fraudulent information from my credit report will help restore my privacy and prevent further violations.
