Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have been disputing inaccuracies on my credit report related to a XXXX XXXX account ( Account Number : XXXX ) since XX/XX/XXXX. Despite submitting three rounds of disputes to the credit bureau Experian, they have failed to correct these inaccuracies, which include : XXXX XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ) : I disputed the account due to an incorrect reporting of my credit limit as {$500.00} instead of the actual {$800.00}. This mistake inflated my credit utilization ratio, negatively affecting my credit score. The dispute was returned as " verified, '' but no correction was made. 
XXXX  XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ) : I disputed the incorrect " Date of Last Payment, '' which was reported as XX/XX/XXXX, when the actual last payment was made in XX/XX/XXXX. This error impacts the accurate calculation of delinquency periods. Again, the account was verified without any changes. 
XXXX XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ) : I disputed the account status, which was shown as " Charged Off '' despite the account being paid in full through a settlement agreement in XXXX. This critical error has significantly harmed my creditworthiness. Once again, the account was returned as " verified, '' with no corrections made. 
Each time, I requested a procedural investigation, but the credit bureau has consistently returned the account as " verified '' without making the necessary corrections. This ongoing failure to correct inaccuracies has caused significant harm to my credit score and subjected me to undue stress.
