Complaint narrative:
I previously disputed this XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, but the account continues to be reported inaccurately and unfairly. The CRAs closed my dispute without correcting the errors, even though the information remains contradictory and incomplete. This failure to correct after dispute is itself a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Reporting Issues Authorized User Only : I am listed only as an authorized user, not the primary account holder. Reporting me as liable is inaccurate ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ).

Contradictory Charge-Off : The account is marked as a charge-off/profit and loss write-off but still reports a balance of {$830.00}. Reporting both is misleading and fails the maximum accuracy requirement ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ; Saunders v. BB & T, 526 F.3d 142 ( 4th Cir. 2008 ) ).

Missing Payment History : The two-year payment history is blank, yet the account is rated derogatory. Without this history, the tradeline is unverifiable ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ; Cushman v. Trans Union, 115 F.3d 220 ( 3d Cir. 1997 ) ).

Original Creditor Omitted : The original creditor field is left blank, violating my right to source information under 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ( a ) ( 1 ) ).

Violations After Prior Dispute 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) : CRAs must conduct a reasonable reinvestigation. Merely parroting the furnishers response without original documentation is inadequate.

623 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) ) : Furnishers can not continue reporting disputed information they know is inaccurate or incomplete.

Action Requests 609 Request : Provide original signed account documents, payment history, and source creditor.

611 Request : Delete or block this tradeline during reinvestigation.

623 Direct Dispute : Forward this dispute to XXXX XXXX XXXX and compel a proper investigation.

Method of Verification : Identify who verified the account, including name and department.

Letter of Authorization : Provide proof XXXX  XXXX is authorized to furnish and report this tradeline. 
Cease and Desist : Stop reporting and collection until original documents validate the debt.

This account has been previously disputed but remains inaccurate, incomplete, and unverifiable. Both the CRA and the furnisher are now in violation of the FCRA. Unless original documentation is produced, this tradeline must be deleted immediately.

Complaint narrative:
Could you please help me investigate accounts that are misreported as late by these companies? Ive reviewed my credit report and noticed these accounts inaccurately display late payment remarks. Those should be removed, and the accounts should be updated to the positive status we agreed upon. One account is also listed as delinquent unjustly ; Id like this to be disputed and corrected to show no late payments.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I made a lump-sum payment of approximately {$2500.00} toward my federal XXXX  loans serviced by XXXX. That payment correctly covered about XXXX XXXX of installments. During this period, I reasonably believed my account was satisfied and in good standing. 

After the XXXX XXXX ended, monthly billing resumed. I did not receive any phone calls or mailed notices to alert me that payments were due again. The only communications were emails that were routed to my spam folder, so I did not see them. 

Because of this, from XXXX, XXXX through XXXX, XXXX, my account accumulated XXXX separate late payment notations over a five-month period. This dropped my credit score from over XXXX to around XXXX, making it appear that I was repeatedly negligent when in reality the situation stemmed from a misunderstanding about prepayment and inadequate notification from the servicer. 

As soon as I discovered the problem, I immediately paid the account in full on XX/XX/XXXX. 

I am requesting that XXXX correct this disproportionate reporting by working with the credit bureaus to remove or adjust the late payment notations, as they do not fairly reflect my repayment intent or behavior.

Complaint narrative:
The company is willfully furnishing false, inconsistent, and misleading information on my credit report in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681, and Metro 2 reporting standards. The tradeline contains contradictory dates, account statuses, and payment histories across the credit reporting agencies, creating a materially inaccurate consumer file. I have made multiple written requests for verification in compliance with FCRA 607 ( b ) and 611, yet the company has failed to correct or validate the reporting. This ongoing inaccurate reporting is causing measurable harm to my creditworthiness and appears to be a deliberate act of negligent and/or willful noncompliance under FCRA 616 and 617, which entitles me to statutory, actual, and punitive damages.
