Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Inaccuracies on my credit report, even after multiple dispute attempts. Despite my efforts, the information remains incorrect and continues to impact my credit profile negatively. 

The credit bureaus are in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) as follows : FCRA Section 1681c ( Exclusion of Information After Specific Periods ) Outdated information is still being reported, violating the FCRAs requirement to remove such data after the legally allowed time frame.

FCRA Section 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( Reinvestigation of Disputed Information ) The credit bureaus have not conducted a reasonable re-investigation of the disputed accounts or provided proof of their accuracy.

FCRA Section 1681e ( b ) ( Accuracy of Information ) By continuing to report inaccurate information, the credit bureaus have failed to ensure that my credit report reflects the maximum possible accuracy.

I request that the CFPB investigate these violations and ensure that the credit bureaus take corrective action to address these issues and bring my credit report into compliance with the FCRA.

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them.
