Consumer complaint received 2025-06-26 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
This complaint addresses multiple instances of inaccurate personal information currently being reported on my Experian credit file. The errors include several false aliases listed under the Also Known As section, as well as outdated and irrelevant address entries that do not reflect my current legal residence or identity. These inaccuracies are not only misleading they are entirely unsupported by any official or verifiable documentation. 

To clarify : my only legal name is XXXX XXXX, and my current and only address is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, NV XXXX. Despite this, Experian is reporting the following false aliases as being associated with me : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have never used these names personally, legally, or professionally. They are not listed on any legal documents, credit applications, or official records tied to my identity. Their inclusion on my report is inaccurate and damaging, misrepresenting my credit file and exposing me to unnecessary confusion and risk. 

In addition, Experian continues to report outdated addresses that are no longer associated with me, specifically : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, NV XXXX ( listed as of XX/XX/XXXX ), and XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX NV XXXX ( listed as of XX/XX/XXXX ). I have no current association with these addresses, and they should no longer appear on any part of my credit profile. 

These errors appear to result from poor data validation processes or from the lingering effects of outdated furnishing practices and mass data breaches that have corrupted millions of consumer files. This is not a case of identity theft. I have done nothing to warrant a fraud alert, nor do I authorize one. The problem lies with Experians failure to uphold its responsibility under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Specifically, 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) requires consumer reporting agencies to follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information they publish. Additionally, 15 U.S.C. 1681i grants consumers the right to dispute incorrect data and compels Experian to reinvestigate and delete unverifiable or inaccurate information. By continuing to publish false names and outdated addresses without verifiable evidence, Experian is in direct violation of both of these statutory obligations.

Complaint narrative:
I was alarmed to find these inaccurate late payment remarks on my credit report this morning without any explanation. As part of my routine, I reviewed my report, but this time, I noticed discrepancies that hadnt been there before. Hoping it was just a system glitch, I refreshed my browser, yet the errors persisted. Because of this, I am requesting a thorough verification of the documents I have provided so that I can put this issue behind me.

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
I want to dispute these accounts because it was affecting my credit report, it was caused by Identity Theft. I did not make these charges. I am having problems with this unfair treatment. These accounts were taken care of with the original creditor and promised me to update it out of my report. Therefore, these accounts shouldn't be in my report. This is an error that you need to look into, so please do your investigation on this and remove or delete this account from my credit report.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I applied for credit for an eye operation with a card recommended by my eye doctor for {$9000.00} to cover a procedure. The promotion was that it was 0 % interest for a year, and I fully intended to pay the full amount before the year was out. 

I made every single payment on time ( XXXX per month ), as well as a large payment immediately prior ( XXXX ) in an attempt to pay off the loan before the promotion period ended. However, I miscalculated and there was still a balance of {$610.00}. As a result, the company assessed me an interest fee of {$2800.00}. 

I have contacted the company to explain the issue to see if the fee can be reduced. I understand that I did make a small mistake, and am willing to pay interest on the remaining amount of {$610.00}. However, being hit with almost a {$3000.00} is unreasonable.
