Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute certain late payments listed on my consumer report, as obtained on XX/XX/XXXX. Upon reviewing the report, I have identified discrepancies in the information furnished by your agency. It has come to my attention that there are potential violations of federal consumer protection laws in the handling of my credit information. 

I would like to draw your attention to pertinent consumer laws established to safeguard individuals like myself in credit transactions. Under 15 USC 1666 ( B ) and 15 USC 1637 a ( a ), it is explicitly stated that reporting a payment as late on an open-ended credit plan is impermissible under any circumstances. Additionally, according to 15 USC 16819 ( B ), consent from the consumer is required before furnishing information on their behalf. To date, I have not granted such authorization to XXXX. 

Your failure to adhere to these regulations not only jeopardizes my financial standing but also undermines the integrity of my consumer report. This letter serves as a formal request to rectify the inaccuracies present in the following listings on my report : 1. Name of Account : XXXX Account Number : XXXX Late Payment Date : XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX I request that you promptly investigate and update the aforementioned entries to reflect accurate information, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Any information provided must be thoroughly verified, and any erroneous data must be expeditiously removed. 

Please provide me with documentation regarding the resolution of my dispute and furnish an updated consumer report reflecting the amendments made. I remind you that this is my initial attempt at resolving this matter amicably and in accordance with legal protocol. 

Kindly address this matter with utmost urgency to prevent any further harm to my creditworthiness. I anticipate your prompt response and cooperation in resolving this dispute. 

Best regards, XXXX, XXXX Without Prejudice All Natural Inalienable Rights Reserved

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against XXXX, XXXX, and Experian for two significant violations of my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : 1. Failure to Conduct a Proper Investigation of Disputed Information : On XX/XX/year>, I filed a dispute with XXXX regarding inaccuracies in my credit report. I explicitly requested a manual review of the disputed information due to its complexity. I provided clear supporting evidence, including highlighted copies of my credit report identifying the errors. However, Experian used the E-Oscar system to process my dispute electronically rather than conducting the manual review I requested. This process fails to ensure a thorough investigation, as required under the FCRA. 
The response I received was vague and did not provide sufficient detail regarding the methods, sources, or procedures used to verify the disputed information. My specific questions about the investigation process remain unanswered. 
2. Failure to Address 1099-C Non-Issuance by a Collection Agency : 3. Despite my dispute, Experian, XXXX, and XXXX continue to report this collection account without verifying its validity or requiring the collection agency to issue a 1099-C. This raises questions about the legitimacy of the debt and violates federal regulations. 

Account Name Account Number XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX DEPTEDXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX DEPTEDXXXX XXXX XXXX DEPTEDXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX DEPTEDXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX DEPTEDXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Key Violations : 1. Failure to Conduct a Reasonable Investigation : o Experian violated 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) by failing to conduct a manual review of my dispute as explicitly requested.

o The use of E-Oscar resulted in an inadequate and incomplete investigation.

2. Failure to Provide Details of Investigation : o Experian failed to provide the methods, sources, and documentation used in their investigation, as required by 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 4 ) and 15
U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ).

3. Inaccurate Reporting and Failure to Address 1099-C Non-Issuance : o Experian, XXXX, and XXXX continue to report inaccurate information, violating my rights under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). 
o The collection agencys failure to issue a 1099-C for canceled or forgiven debt violates IRS regulations and raises concerns about the accounts validity.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MT

Complaint narrative:
There is false and misleading information being reported on my Consumer Report and XXXX, XXXX and Equifax are all in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act due to the fact that they are providing consumer transactions and experiences that are prohibited and excluded according to the FRCA. These transactions and experiences including payment history and late payments are in complete violation of the laws that congress has put into place. At this time if this matter is not resolved they are in jeopardy of civil liability for willful negligence in knowingly reporting information on my consumer report that are clearly supposed to be excluded according to the law. Now because of their willful negligence and their willful violation of the law I am receiving damages and harm including but not limited to stress and financial loss due to the fact that there are transactions and experiences being reported on my Consumer Report that are not supposed to be there. I never gave the person 's that reported these transactions to the Credit Agencies nor the Credit Agencies authorization to report any of these things on my Consumer Report. Which means they are in willful violation as well of permissible purposes. I also received verifications on my consumer reports that the information I disputed came back verified, as the best I can tell right now the Fair Credit Reporting Act was not followed in receiving the verification and the information that was given and verified was solely based upon the information that they gained from the alleged creditors. This is also a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX, and I am formally disputing the information listed on my credit report. In accordance with 15 U.S.C. 1681B AND 15 U.S.C. 1681c, I did not authorize the reporting or release of my personal information to the companies listed below. This is a violation of my consumer rights to privacy, as they have no legal basis to report anything under my name. Furthermore, there are unauthorized inquiries on my credit report that I did not initiate, which constitutes a case of identity theft. Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. B. I do not own any debt to these entities, and I demand the immediate deletion of the items and inquiries in question to correct my credit report.

Please address this matter promptly and confirm the removal of the disputed entities.
