Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Old information reappears or never goes away
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I habe disputed this twice already and got it fixed then this happens again. This complaint is against EXPERIAN for violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ). I previously disputed an account XXXX XXXX acct # XXXX on my credit report for a late payment in XX/XX/XXXX which was found to be inaccurate and changed from being late to never late However, this account has been reinserted numerous times into my credit report without any notification from EXPERIAN within the required five business days. This action is in direct violation of FCRA Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ), which mandates that consumers must be notified if previously removed information is to be reinserted into their credit report. The lack of notification has caused unnecessary stress and potential harm to my credit standing. A few days ago they were reporting that XXXX XXXX was 60 days late now its XX/XX/XXXX. I have already contacted EXPERIAN regarding this issue but have not received a GOOD resolution. Therefore, I am seeking your assistance to ensure that EXPERIAN complies with FCRA regulations and corrects this issue immediately WITHIN 4 BUSINESS DAYS. Attached are copies of all relevant correspondence, including my confirmation of the account 's removal, and my recent dispute regarding the unauthorized reinsertion. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to your assistance in resolving this issue. XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
XXXXXXXX XXXX updated Here 's the updated response based on your details : I have discovered several inaccuracies on my credit reports from XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX, which are negatively impacting my credit score. These discrepancies include accounts that do not belong to me, incorrect account balances, and outdated negative items that should have been removed. 

Specifically : There is an account from Investment Retrievers that I did not open. 
A balance on an account from XXXX XXXX is inaccurately reported, showing an amount that is not correct. 
Additionally, several negative items have remained on my reports beyond the permissible reporting period. 
Upon noticing these discrepancies, I contacted XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX to dispute the errors. Despite submitting disputes, the issues have not been resolved. 

These inaccuracies are a result of identity theft, which I have reported to the necessary authorities. I am actively working with legal counsel to address these matters. 

I am seeking correction of these errors, as they do not reflect my true credit history, and they are causing harm to my credit standing.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXX  Account XXXX : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX Nature of Complaint : On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a dispute to TransUnion disputing a late payment reported by XXXX. I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : Payment delay due to postal service issues : In XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, I mailed my payments well in advance, but due to delays with the postal service, the payments arrived late. This delay was beyond my control, and the payments should not have been marked as late, as I acted in good faith to ensure timely payment. 
XXXX made within the 15-day grace period : Despite the postal delay, my payments for XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX were received and processed within XXXX 's 15-day grace period. As such, this account should not have been reported as 30 days late. 
XXXX Already Removed the Account : After reviewing my dispute, XXXX has already removed the account from my credit report, acknowledging that the late payment was reported in error. This further confirms that the information reported by TransUnion and XXXX is inaccurate. I have attached a copy of my XXXX report showing that the account has been removed. 

Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, TransUnion has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report.

As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being.

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. 

I also request that the inaccurate late payments entry for XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX be removed from my credit report immediately, as XXXX has already removed it. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I received a call from Bank of Americas main phone number. It sounded like a call center environment. A guy with a XXXX XXXX accent impersonated a BofA fraud dept employee. He stated that a transaction of {$250.00} was made in XXXX and {$150.00} in XXXX. He said they were tagged as potentially being fraudulent. I confirmed that I didnt make those purchases. He confirmed an email address Ive used. It was a very bad connection and so he asked me to call his direct office line XXXX. Which I did. He said that in order to refund those transactions I needed to provide the expiration date & security code on the back of my card. I suspected this was a scam call, and told him that I would call BoA fraud dept directly. He said that the number he called from should show its from BoA and that it proves its legit. He said that for {$5.00} he would express mail me a new card, but it wont go through without verifying the card information. 
After I hung up, I called BofA fraud dept and they confirmed it was a scam, and told me to report it as well as they took down my information. The scammer attempted to call me 4 more times during this time, again showing up as a BoA caller. I pressed send to voicemail and they immediately called back. These people are dangerous and evil, and need to be stopped and held accountable.
