Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It XXXX Concern, Please be advised that I have received your computer-generated letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third-party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to XXXX you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

You were advised by me on XX/XX/2022 by certified mail that I questioned the accuracy of a few items on my credit reports. That request was written by me and mailed by me- not a third-party agency. It appears obvious to me that you are abusing your power under the FCRA to escape a complete investigation. 

Here again, is the incorrect information being reported : XXXX / XXXX. # : XXXX / Bal. {$720.00} Additionally, there is NO law that states a consumer can not use a third party, so using that as your excuse is irrelevant. In fact, the United States XXXX has found the whole process so overwhelming that they afford consumers the right to use a third party on their behalf if the consumer so chooses. This is why your statement is so shameful. 

I reserve the right to sue a credit bureau for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and I believe I can prove that you did not use reasonable measures to ensure the accuracy of my credit reports and now you are stalling the process even further. 

I realize disputes can be expensive and it is your job to stall them, but you do so at great risk. Please take notice that this letter dated XX/XX/2022 is a formal notice to you that I am requesting that you continue forward with my original investigation request and please send the results to me within 15 days. I therefore legally and lawfully refuse your " form letter '' thus giving you only 15 days, not XXXX more. 

I am annoyed and outraged at your accusation and I have researched my rights in regards to my credit file. Please expedite my original request immediately.

Complaint narrative:

This did not occur. 

Also, they violated my rights even further. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting, everything has to be 100 % accurate on my credit report. 

The Credit Bureaus stated my account was properly investigated but how is that possible if the Open Date is inaccurate, Balance amount is inaccurate, Last reported date is not accurate, Last active date is inaccurate, and Last date of payment? 

This is evidence that this account from XXXX XXXX - XXXX needs to be deleted! 

I sent in proof that I was never late and XXXX XXXX never check their account system nor used the proper date to claim I was late. 

So I have some questions for the Credit Bureaus... 

1. How did you verify that I was late? 
2. Did you call them? 
3. What date was I late? 
4. According to the FCRA, I need the supporting documents ( 2nd request ) They also violated the law according to : 15 U.S.C. 1681 section 602 A states I have the right to privacy. 15 U.S.C. 1681 section 604 A section 2 It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written authorization.
