Complaint narrative:
A month ago, I submitted a complaint to these Bureaus, but the incorrect information on my report is still there. I haven't heard back from them, aside from your notification that the company has replied to my complaint. How can I trust that they've properly investigated the inaccuracies? What steps did they take to verify the accounts? This entire situation is really frustrating, especially since it's been over 30 days since I filed my complaint.

Furthermore, any information determined to be the result of a data breach must be deleted or blocked within four ( 4 ) business days of receipt of this letter. If verification can not be completed, federal law mandates the immediate removal of the item from my credit report.

I have submitted a sworn affidavit affirming that my consumer credit report contains clear evidence of fraud and unauthorized inquiries. Accordingly, I formally request that you take prompt action to delete or block the disputed items to prevent further escalation.

Should you fail to verify the item in accordance with the FCRA and continue to report it, I will be left with no alternative but to pursue legal remedies. This includes seeking actual damages and declaratory relief under FCRA 616 Civil Liability for Willful Noncompliance [ 15 U.S.C. 1681n ].

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about!
