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

Complaint narrative:
ar [ Credit Reporting Agency/Creditor Name ], I am writing to formally dispute the reporting of the charge-off account associated XXXX XXXX XXXX on my credit report. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( Reinvestigation of Disputed Information ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( Responsibilities of Furnishers of Information ), I am entitled to request and receive complete and accurate documentation to verify the accuracy and legality of this accounts reporting. 
Additionally, under [ Florida ] law, I am requesting proper validation of this debt. 
To properly validate this account, I am requesting the following : 1. Authenticated Double-Entry Accounting Records : I am requesting full double-entry accounting records for the account mentioned. This should include a detailed breakdown that shows how all transactions were debited and credited, ensuring compliance with standard accounting principles. Please note that I do not wish to receive a simple list of charges or statements. I expect authenticated evidence of the debt. 
2. Authenticated Evidence Based on [ FLORIDA ] Law : In addition to the accounting records, I require authenticated evidence, in compliance with [ Your State ] debt collection laws, that you have the legal right to report and collect this debt. This includes original signed contracts or agreements that show my obligation to pay the debt and your legal right to enforce collection and report it to credit bureaus. 
Without this evidence, the continued reporting of this debt may constitute a violation of both federal and state consumer protection laws. 
3. 1099-C Form : If this debt has been forgiven, canceled, or settled for less than the full balance, I am requesting a copy of the 1099-C form filed with the IRS, which is required if the amount of canceled debt exceeds {$600.00}. If you have not provided this documentation, the debt may be considered discharged, and it should no longer be reported as owed on my credit report.

In the absence of the requested documentation and verifiable evidence, I request that you immediately delete this account from my credit report in compliance with the FCRA and [ Your State ] state law. Failure to do so will result in further action, including filing formal complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), pursuing legal remedies to enforce my rights, and submitting a Suspicious Activity Report ( SAR ) to the IRS for suspicion of fraud. 
The SAR ( FinCEN Form 111 ) will be filed if you continue reporting inaccurate and unverified information without providing the required documentation. 
Please respond within 30 days of receipt of this letter. I look forward to receiving the required

Complaint narrative:
I received an email,, from a third part company saying that they represent XXXX XXXX XXXX. I owe an amount of almost {$7000.00} and I have 5 hours to either pay a settlement fee of {$3000.00} or make {$500.00} per week payments. I replied back saying that I would some information from them, just to show legitimacy on this account since there are many scam companies out there. They replied back rudely, saying they dont ' have to supply any such thing to me and I'll get what I get when it's paid. Replying I had 4 hours to pay or else.

Again, no name of this third party company, just it says at the top of the email they represent this law firm. Again I ask for information, and I even tried to find the lawfirm to send a contact form directly to them. Nothing from lawfirm. This third part then sent another form today, saying they are going to submit this to court and I would be required to show up and could be arrested and have all my belongings seized as well. 

I have received XXXX paperwork and XXXX correspondence from this lawfirm. I've reached out and gotten nothing. XXXX not even sure of the account and amount owed is real either. 

All emails are from XXXX and XXXX and thats all that i have from them.

Complaint narrative:
My account with Experian was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and 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 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.

Experian 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!

Subject : **Urgent Demand for Immediate Investigation of Fraudulent Charges** This letter serves as a **demand for immediate action** regarding fraudulent charges on my checking account, which I opened with XXXX XXXX  My debit card was **stolen and used without my authorization**, or approval and I hold your organization accountable for your failure to detect and investigate these fraudulent transactions.I opened the checking account associated with my XXXX debit card. Shortly after, my debit card was stolen, and **unauthorized transactions** were made. These charges are **fraudulent**, and I expect a thorough investigation without delay. I have contacted XXXX, and they have confirmed that these charges are unauthorized and that was not created by me. They have agreed to **remove the fraudulent charges** from my account. I demand that ChexSystems take **immediate corrective action** to reflect this in your records. 
I have also filed an identity theft report, as advised. However, I find it unacceptable that ChexSystems appears unwilling to accept this claim. Your organization needs to acknowledge the reality of this situation and act accordingly. I am not familiar with the proper procedures for disputing fraudulent activity, but I insist that you take this seriously and assist in resolving this matter promptly. Your negligence in handling this issue is **unacceptable** and has caused significant financial and emotional distress. **I will not tolerate any delays or excuses**. If you do not take swift and proper action, I will escalate this matter to the **Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), and other relevant regulatory agencies**. You will be held accountable for your incompetence in safeguarding consumer accounts. ChexSystems has a history of fines and penalties due to inadequate consumer protection practices, and I will not be another victim of your failures. I fully expect this matter to be handled with the urgency it deserves. If I do not receive a satisfactory resolution within **seven days**, I will pursue legal actions to seek damages for every financial and emotional consequence caused by your system 's deficiencies.This letter is your final warning. **Take immediate action** to investigate the fraudulent charges on my account.
