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

Complaint narrative:
The late payment remark on my credit report is negatively impacting my FICO score, and I am requesting its removal to ensure my credit profile accurately reflects my financial responsibility. Payment history accounts for approximately XXXX XXXX  of my FICO score, making it the most significant factor in credit scoring. A single late payment can cause a substantial drop in my score, especially if I previously had a strong payment record. 

This inaccurate late payment is unfairly lowering my creditworthiness and affecting my ability to secure financial opportunities, such as obtaining a loan or favorable interest rates. Additionally, lenders and financial institutions rely on FICO scores to assess risk, and this incorrect remark could result in higher borrowing costs or even denials of credit applications. 

I am formally disputing this error under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which grants me the right to challenge inaccurate or unverifiable information on my credit report. If the late payment can not be verified or is incorrect, it must be removed. Furthermore, I am requesting a goodwill adjustment from the creditor, as I have a history of responsible financial management, and this late payment does not accurately represent my reliability.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my own experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Improper Execution and Assignment of Retail Installment Contract, Resulting in Wrongful Repossession I am filing this complaint on behalf of myself, XXXX XXXX XXXX, and the co-signer, XXXX XXXX XXXX, regarding the improper execution and assignment of our retail installment contract for the purchase of a vehicle. This complaint is being submitted in conjunction with FTC Report Number XXXX. 

The dealership, XXXX XXXX XXXX, issued a retail installment contract and required a power of attorney ( POA ) to authorize actions related to the financing of the vehicle. The POA was notarized by an individual who was also listed as the dealerships authorized representative, creating a conflict of interest and violating notary impartiality laws under Ohio law. 

The contract was assigned to XXXX XXXX, despite the improper execution of the POA. Based on this flawed documentation, the lender wrongfully repossessed the vehicle on XX/XX/year>. Both XXXX and I suffered harm, including financial losses, emotional distress, damage to credit, etal. 

Neither XXXX nor I were properly informed of the conflict of interest, nor were we provided with full disclosure of the dealership 's actions. 

The improper assignment and repossession violate consumer protection laws, including the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) and Ohio 's Consumer Sales Practices Act ( CSPA ).
