Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Experian did not honor the dispute letters that I've been sending since XX/XX/year>.

My resolution is for them to honor the dispute letters that I have already sent.

Complaint narrative:
Third request prior-to filing a federal lawsuit against the CFPB and the CRAs.

This is my third request for the immediate removal of unauthorized accounts in my name. Upon review of my recent personal credit report, UNAUTHORIZED hard credit inquiries DO NOT belong to me. I immediately notified the Credit Reporting Agencies to no avail. In addition, I have a " fraud alert '' placed on all 3 credit files and has not served anything in protection. The CRAs continued to sell my personal information to third parties offering me credit, loans, and ironically, credit monitoring services. It should be noted that the CRAs are completely unmoved by CFPB filings and have demonstrated no sense of urgency in complying with the complaints filed by consumers. I have filed complaints with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) and to this day after almost 1 year-to-date, have not been able to obligate the CRAs to remove these UNAUTHORIZED credit inquiries through the CFPB process, one which is lame and ineffective by legal standards. CFPB has taken a Secretarialized position in properly enforcing the Federal statutes although it is now evident that the CRAS has present Class-Action lawsuits pending in Federal Court .

Complaint narrative:
My account with was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXX XXXXnd all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 
This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 
I demand the late payment reported in 60 days to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Complaint narrative:
Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian, for their refusal to update my personal information on my credit report. On XX/XX/year>, I submitted a personal information update letter to Experian, XXXX, XXXX, requesting the correction of my address and other personal details. This letter was accompanied by the necessary documentation, including a copy of my driver 's license, Social Security card, and a utility bill to verify my address. The document was also notarized. 
However, on XX/XX/year>, I received a response from Experian, stating that my request could not be processed because I did not provide a government ID. This statement is incorrect and misleading, as I had included all required documents, including a government-issued ID, in my initial submission. 
Attached to this complaint, you will find a copy of my original personal information update letter and all supporting documents that were submitted to Experian, I believe that Experian, refusal to update my information is a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically under sections 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( Procedure in case of disputed accuracy ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ( Compliance procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy ).

Experian, failure to acknowledge and properly review the provided documentation is a direct violation of my rights under the FCRA. According to the FCRA, consumers have the right to dispute inaccurate information on their credit reports and must be provided with a fair and reasonable investigation of their dispute. By ignoring the documentation I provided, XXXX has failed to uphold their obligation to conduct a fair investigation, thereby violating my consumer rights.
