Complaint narrative:
The conspicuous lack of concrete evidence substantiating its reliability, coupled with the circulation of unverified information, constitutes a flagrant violation of the statutory provisions outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). Such regulatory non-compliance is not merely disconcerting but also vexing, considering the paramount importance of adherence to legal mandates. Consequently, I emphatically endorse the prompt deletion of this account in alignment with the stipulated regulations, unless credible evidence is promptly furnished to affirm its authenticity. The failure to promptly rectify this matter further compounds the exasperation stemming from the disregard for legal protocols.

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: CA

Complaint narrative:
I paid off my XXXX credit card account XXXX months ago. Experian continues to report this account with a full balance of over {$1600.00}. I have disputed this information XXXX with Experian and they continue to leave the report as is. I am not understanding why Experian can not report accurate information. Again, this account was paid off XXXX months ago : there is no reason why Experian can not update the account information on my credit report. I am trying to obtain a home loan, and Experian is preventing me from doing that. What will it take for Experian to update this report and provide accurate information. This is my second incident with Experian in just under a month. If they can not update my account as they should, then I will need to seek legal representation. This is rediculous. They are in the business to report accurate information, and if they can't do that, then why are they in the business. It's strange that when someone uses their credit card for a purchase, Experian and other reporting agencies, quickly react and send an alert and subsequently lower your credit score. On the other hand, when someone pays off their credit cards ( which is a more positive thing ), it takes months and months for the credit reporting agency to reflect the payment. What is wrong with this picture?

Complaint narrative:
I have been trying to get my report updated with only accurate information for the last few years and I am still battling against these reporting agencies. I recently submitted yet again my XXXX written request to XXXX, Trans Union and XXXX to have the incorrect information updated and or removed from my credit report. To date it still hasn't been resolved.. The information these agencies have been furnishing has been inaccurate and has impacted my score negatively even though I have many accounts that are all paid as agreed and never late, the negative information has significantly dropped my score and prevented me from being able to get a car, qualify for a XXXX XXXX agreement not to mention countless opportunities to help to further my business and take care of my family. 15 USC Code 1681s-2 ( A ) 1- States " A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. In addition 15 USC 1681e says " Every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681c of this title and to limit the furnishings of consumer reports for the purposes listed under section 1681b of this title.

I have researched diligently and according to the FCRA 15 USC 1681 602 which says " There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumer 's right to privacy ''. Trans Union, XXXX and XXXX are consumer reporting agencies and I am the consumer. I do have the right to protect my private information and make sure its not shared.

This states " It is the policy of Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers non public personal information ''. Furnisher of information to credit agencies is a financial institution by definition under that title.

The financial institutions and the consumer reporting agencies, Trans Union, XXXX and XXXX do not have my written consent to furnish any information. You can see in the documentation I have requested to Opt out in writing several times. XXXX, Transunion and XXXX are not maintaining reasonable procedures and are in violation of the FCRA.
