Consumer complaint received 2024-09-07 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally address serious concerns regarding the handling of my identity theft dispute with Experian. On XX/XX/year>, I submitted a dispute to Experian, providing all required documentation, including a government-issued ID, proof of address, and an identity theft report, as outlined under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). However, on XX/XX/year>, I received a response denying my request to block the fraudulent information on my credit report, claiming a lack of sufficient documentation. 

This denial is not only unfounded but also constitutes a clear violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2, which establish the permissible purposes for the inclusion of information in consumer reports and mandate the blocking of information resulting from identity theft.

Specifically : 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) prohibits the furnishing of consumer reports without a permissible purpose, and there is no permissible purpose for retaining fraudulent accounts on my report.

15 U.S. Code 1681c-2 explicitly requires credit reporting agencies to block information related to identity theft when proper documentation is provided, which I have already done. 
Your failure to comply with these provisions opens the way for civil liability for both negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. Under this statute, a victim of noncompliance is entitled to {$1000.00} per violation. The continued reporting of accounts that were fraudulently opened without my express written consent constitutes multiple violations, as these accounts remain on my report without my authorization. 

This lack of action on XXXX part has resulted in further damage to my financial well-being, and I am prepared to pursue all legal remedies available to me under the FCRA if this issue is not resolved promptly. 

I am requesting the following immediate actions : Immediate blocking of the disputed items on my credit report, as they resulted from identity theft. 
A written explanation as to why my request was denied despite my submission of all required documentation. 
Compensation for the damages incurred as a result of Experians negligent and willful noncompliance with the FCRA. 
If this matter is not resolved within 10 business days, I will pursue formal complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) and explore civil litigation to address these ongoing violations of my rights. 

Please take immediate steps to rectify this situation and ensure full compliance with the law.

inquiries on my credit report that I believe are a result of a data breach. I've reviewed my report and identified several inquiries that do not belong to me. I'm concerned that these unauthorized inquiries may be negatively affecting my credit score.

Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I am writing to report a concern regarding debt collection practices related to an account ending in XXXX ( Resurgent ID XXXX ). This account was included in my bankruptcy proceedings and should have been discharged. 

Description of the Issue : XXXX. Dates and Actions : Bankruptcy Filing Date : XX/XX/XXXX Bankruptcy Discharge Date : XX/XX/XXXX Communication Received : On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a message from Resurgent Capital Services stating that they had canceled my remaining scheduled payments and instructed me to reschedule payments once I receive a new payment method. 
Previous Actions : I have previously communicated with Resurgent Capital Services regarding the bankruptcy discharge, and they confirmed that the debt was included. 
XXXX. Amounts : Original Account Balance : {$1500.00} ( balance at the time of bankruptcy ) Payments Scheduled : $ 200 monthly payments were scheduled before the bankruptcy discharge. 
XXXX. Actions Taken : I have contacted Resurgent Capital Services to inform them that this account was discharged in bankruptcy. 
I have requested confirmation that no further action should be taken on this account. 

The communication I received suggests that the debt is still considered active, which conflicts with the bankruptcy discharge. I am seeking your assistance to ensure that Resurgent Capital Services complies with relevant regulations and that my rights under the bankruptcy discharge are upheld. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Best regards, XXXX XXXX
