Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am a hardworking individual has been diligently paying my accounts on time for the quite a long time. However, upon reviewing my credit report, I discover several instances of late payments recorded by these creditors. Perplexed by this discrepancy, I contacted these creditors to inquire about the inaccuracies. After discussing the matter with a customer service representative and the billing department, it becomes evident that there was a mutual agreement between me and these creditors to adjust the payment schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite adhering to this adjusted schedule, the payments were mistakenly marked as late in the system. Understanding the gravity of the situation, these creditors swiftly acknowledge the error and assures me that the inaccurate late payments will be rectified. Additionally, they offer to provide written documentation of the agreed-upon payment schedule to prevent any future misunderstandings.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I opened several disputes due to inaccurate reporting on my credit report with the creditor XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  as well as XXXX, TransUnion, XXXX. 

They never completed an investigation nor did the provide verification that the payment was late. 

I submitted bank statements and photocopies of the check that I paid them which was cashed well before the statement even closed in XXXX XXXX XXXX, and was in excess of the entire statement balance. The check was cashed a few days after I sent it, but was not applied to my account for months. 

I sent the credit beuaurs letters via certified mail and included a copy of the bank statement, check, my drivers licenses and a health insurance bill showing proof of address. 

To that, the credit agencys sent back a letter stating that they would not open a dispute because they beliebe this was sent from someone other than me. 

I again sent it and they never replied, therefore under FCRA this item needs to be removed from my credit report as I was never late XXXX or XXXX days. The bank lost the check and took months to properly apply it to my account. 

Additionally, even at the time the check was found and applied to my account, it would not have been XXXX days late. 

Thanks,
