Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to you as the holder of account number [ XXXX ] for my credit card, to report an issue negatively impacting my credit report. This issue appears to be in violation of the provisions of 15 U.S. Code 1666b and other relevant sections of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

According to 15 U.S. Code 1666b, creditors must send periodic statements, including all information required by section 1637 ( b ), at least 21 days before the payment due date. This requirement ensures that consumers have sufficient time to receive, review, and make necessary payments without being unfairly penalized for late payments. 

Additionally, the FCRA, specifically sections 15 U.S. Code 1681i and 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, mandates that credit reporting agencies and information furnishers correct any inaccurate or incomplete information in credit reports and ensure the maximum accuracy of information contained in consumer files. 

I have identified that the statements for my credit card, have not been delivered in compliance with these requirements, resulting in the appearance of late payments on my credit report. This non-compliance has adversely affected my credit score. 

Furthermore, I would like to refer to the Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ), which establishes that creditors must ensure timely delivery of statements to avoid unfair penalties to consumers. 

I formally request that you investigate and correct any inaccurate information related to these late payments on my credit report. Below are the details of the affected payments : Date of reported late payment : [ XX/XX/year> ] I would appreciate your prompt attention to this matter to rectify any errors in my credit report. I am willing to provide any additional documentation necessary for your investigation. 

I look forward to receiving written confirmation of the actions taken to correct this information and ensure compliance with the relevant regulations. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

XXXX XXXX XXXX. has failed to remove fraudulent collection account from my credit report, despite not providing any concrete proof that these accounts belong to me. I have undeniable evidence that Im a victim of the XXXX XXXXXXXX data breach, where my personal information was stolen. Since then, Ive been fighting for years to have these fraudulent accounts cleared from my report. Im requesting concrete proof that I, XXXX XXXX, was involved in any transactionvisual proof, not just a transaction linked to my name. No scammer would use a stolen credit card in their real name without also obtaining fake identification. Fake IDs and passports are unfortunately prevalent in todays world. Moreover, as a victim of the XXXX  XXXX breach, which affected over 400 million people, its entirely plausible that scammers gained access to my stolen identity and created fake documents in my name. If one of the largest credit bureaus was breached, its reasonable to assume that these stolen identities were exploited. I need more than assumptions ; I need definitive proof of my involvement with this fraudulent account
