Complaint narrative:
I filed a dispute regarding inaccurate late payments on my Experian credit report on XX/XX/XXXX2024. Despite this, the inaccuracies remain. These late payments are false, as I have never been late on these accounts : XXXX XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and XXXX XXXX BANK NA XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ). XXXX and XXXX have already corrected these errors, but Experian continues to report them inaccurately. This violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and I demand a detailed explanation of the verification process used to confirm these late payments. Experians willful noncompliance subjects them to liability of up to {$1000.00}. I demand the immediate correction of these inaccuracies.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Experian for failing to conduct a proper investigation into my disputes and for accusing me of using an unauthorized third party to submit my request. I mailed a dispute letter to Experian, disputing inaccurate personal information and accounts on my credit report. 
To ensure my identity was properly verified, I included the following documents with my dispute : A copy of my government-issued ID A copy of my Social Security card A recent bill showing my current address I mailed my initial dispute letter on XX/XX/XXXX, via XXXX XXXX mail ( tracking number XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ). On XX/XX/XXXX 2024, I received a response stating : " We recently received a request that included your information, but it didn't appear that you or a properly authorized third party sent it to us. We take the privacy and security of your data very seriously, so we won't process requests unless they come directly from you or an authorized third party. '' This response is puzzling, as all prior communications were sent directly by me and included all required information. 
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Experian is required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of any disputed information in a consumer 's file. It appears that Experian has violated my consumer rights by failing to investigate my disputes, falsely accusing me of using an unauthorized third party, and not responding to my dispute.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( XXXX ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them.
