Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AR

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the inaccurate and inconsistent reporting of the XXXX XXXX XXXX account # XXXX on my credit report. The information provided by the three major credit bureaus contains discrepancies that are misleading and damaging to my credit profile. Below are the details of the inconsistencies : High Credit : Experian : {$32000.00} XXXX : {$32000.00} XXXX : {$0.00} Last Active Date : Experian : XXXX XXXX : XXXX XXXX : XXXX Charge-Off Status : Reported as a charge-off by all three bureaus. 
Late Payment Status : Experian : Was 30 Days Late 1 Time, Was 60 Days Late 2 Times, Was 90 Days Late 1 Time. 
XXXX : Was 30 Days Late 1 Time, Was 60 Days Late 2 Times, Was 90 Days Late 21 Times. 
XXXX : No late payment status reported. 

These discrepancies violate my rights under federal law and must be corrected immediately. 

Violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), requires credit reporting agencies to maintain the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. The conflicting data on high credit, last active dates, and late payment status across the three credit bureaus clearly violates this provision. Additionally, 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) mandates that furnishers of information report accurate data, which has not been done in this case. 

Violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) : The inaccurate reporting of late payments and charge-off status, especially with such significant discrepancies, may also constitute a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1692e, which prohibits false or misleading representations in connection with the collection of any debt. The inconsistencies may also violate 15 U.S.C. 1692f, which forbids unfair or unconscionable means to collect or attempt to collect a debt.

Metro 2 Compliance Issues : The Metro 2 format, which is the industry standard for credit reporting, requires consistent and accurate reporting of account information. The discrepancies in high credit, last active dates, and payment statuses across the bureaus indicate non-compliance with Metro 2 guidelines, further warranting the removal of this account.

Request for Immediate Action : In light of these violations and non-compliance issues, I am requesting the immediate removal of the XXXX XXXX XXXX account # XXXX from my credit report with all three credit bureaus. Additionally, I request that you provide me with an updated copy of my credit report reflecting this correction.

Company: LEXISNEXIS

Complaint narrative:
I have looked into this company with the XXXX It is over XXXX complaints over XXXX this year alone. LexisNexis. Most of the complaints have never gotten the information requested. Some have been denied the information. The XXXX appears to only send letters asking then to respond then it's closed with them. That's not good enough. I do not recognize these people as a Credit Reporting Agency that we are used to however it appears only insurance companies use it. There are not live representatives to talk about, only automated in which you have to give ALL YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION. Name, address, ss #, DOB with a company that has invalid information and reporting it to insurance companies and one can only think that it is to XXXX up the insurance prices. I live in DE, I have family in FL and if this company is doing this to keep people from getting insurance or using it so that insurance companies can inflate insurance it's illegal. I have placed the complaint through XXXX but don't hold any hope of anything other than them sending a letter which appears to have done nothing. And I have also sent it to my state senator. This is another agency that should be looking into this company.
