Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AR

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because Experian is reporting inaccurate information on my credit report, and despite multiple disputes, they have refused to correct or remove it. 

The account in question is being reported as both in collections/charged off and also showing a renewing past due balance each month. This is factually impossible under Metro 2 credit reporting standards and results in double reporting of the same debt. Once an account is charged off or placed in collections, the original creditor must report a {$0.00} past due balance.

Experians failure to correct this after repeated disputes has caused me direct financial harm. Specifically, I was denied for a loan because this inaccurate reporting inflated my debt-to-income ratio. This denial is proof that Experians inaccurate reporting has materially damaged me.

This conduct violates : FCRA 1681e ( b ) failure to ensure maximum possible accuracy FCRA 1681i failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation after disputes I am demanding that Experian either : 1. Correct the tradeline to reflect a {$0.00} past due balance as of the charge-off/collection date, OR 2. Remove the tradeline entirely from my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit while knowing there is a need to insure they exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a RESPECT for the consumers RIGHT TO PRIVACY.

The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting, and these unfair credit reporting methods undermine my public confidence which is essential to the banking system.

I never gave my expressed, written consent for these consumer reporting agencies to report my information, which violated 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and this leads to an alleged identity theft, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. These accounts are not related to any transactions made by me, the consumer.

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies play a crucial role in gathering and assessing consumer credit information. However, they must exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. The banking system relies on accurate and fair credit reporting, and when these reporting methods are unfair, it undermines public trust, which is vital for the system 's stability. I never gave my explicit, written consent for these agencies to report my information, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ). This violation has led to an alleged case of identity theft, breaching 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. The accounts in question are not related to any transactions made by me.

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was created to ensure that laws and procedures are in place to protect consumers from abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices by debt collectors. In this case, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692f, which prohibits debt collectors from using unfair or unconscionable means to collect a debt. Specifically, they can not collect any amounts that arent explicitly authorized by the agreement or allowed by law. Additionally, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692e, which prohibits the use of false, deceptive, or misleading representations in debt collection efforts. This includes using deceptive methods to collect a debt or gather consumer information. Moreover, they are forbidden from contacting consumers at inconvenient times or places, or engaging in behavior that harasses or abuses consumers. 

In this case, the company has harassed me by claiming I owe a debt that I do not recognize as my responsibility. They have also contacted me at inconvenient times and places, in violation of the law.
