Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint regarding two inaccuracies on my credit report, which I have repeatedly disputed with the credit bureaus. Despite my efforts, the bureaus either claim the items have been " verified as accurate '' or fail to properly address my disputes. The details of the accounts in question are as follows : XXXX ( Account Number : XXXX ) - Reason : Identity Theft This account is not mine. I have submitted a fraud affidavit, police report, and other supporting documentation under the protections of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), which allows for the blocking of fraudulent information due to identity theft. However, the bureaus have continued to report this item and provided no meaningful explanation for how it was verified. When I contact XXXX directly, they refuse to give any information, citing my identity theft report. As per XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ), credit bureaus must conduct a reasonable investigation, which they have failed to do. 

XXXXXXXX XXXX  ( Account Number : XXXX ) - Reason : Failure to Send Billing Statement, Late Payments Reported in Error XXXXXXXX XXXX  has reported late payments for periods during which I did not receive a billing statement, a clear violation of the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) 1666 ( 15 U.S.C. 1666 ). Under the FCBA, a creditor is obligated to send a billing statement at least 21 days before the payment due date, and failure to do so voids any late payment penalty. Additionally, the inaccurate reporting of these late payments also violates the FCRA 1681s-2 ( a ), which mandates that furnishers of information report accurate and complete information. Based on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I am entitled to have these inaccuracies corrected, and my account updated to reflect positive payments.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am requesting the removal and permanent deletion of an inaccurate collection account from both my Experian and XXXX credit reports. This account, related to Spectrum services, was previously removed after I filed a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), as it was confirmed to be inaccurate. However, the collection has now reappeared on my credit reports under different collection agencies and for varying amounts ( {$120.00} and {$120.00} ). 

I currently have an open and active account with Spectrum, and I am making regular monthly payments. My account has never been sent to collections, as confirmed by Spectrum on multiple occasions. 

This situation appears to be a deliberate attempt to harm my credit by exploiting loopholes or transferring the account to different collection agencies after removal. It is causing unnecessary stress and damage to my credit score, despite the fact that I have no delinquency or unpaid balance with Spectrum.

For a fair resolution, I request the following : Immediate removal and permanent deletion of all collection accounts related to this issue from both my Experian and XXXX credit reports. 
Written confirmation from XXXX and all involved collection agencies ( such as XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) that my account was never in collections. 
A thorough investigation into why this issue keeps recurring, including measures to prevent future erroneous reports. 
I also expect any damage to my credit score as a result of these false reports to be corrected. If this issue is not resolved, I will consider further legal action or escalate the matter once again to the CFPB.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXX  Account Number : XXXX. * Date of Late Payment : XX/XX/XXXX Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Experian disputing a late payment reported by XXXX. I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : 1. The payment was made on time, as reflected in the attached bank statement, which shows that the payment was processed on XX/XX/XXXX, well before the due date. This suggests a clerical error in reporting the payment as late. 

2. Additionally, I have attached the payment confirmation receipt from XXXX, which clearly indicates that the payment was received and processed on time. 

Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Experian has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. 

As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being. 

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
