Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
Mailed letters on XX/XX/year> to dispute inaccuracies on my account and each time I was mailed a stall letter saying they fell someone else as sent my information. This is a direct violation of the FCRA. Additionally there is NO law that states a consumer can not use a third party, so using that as your excuse is a irrelevant. In fact, the United States Congress 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 insure 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 complaint 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 30 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:
I am writing to file a complaint against XXXX XXXX for their refusal to delete inaccurate information from my consumer report. This has been a frustrating ordeal as both the creditor and TransUnion have consistently failed to provide any substantial information despite repeated attempts to rectify the situation. I am deeply concerned that this behavior demonstrates a blatant disregard for consumer protection laws. 

I have diligently reached out to TransUnion and XXXX XXXX regarding the inaccuracies in my consumer report. Despite the legal obligation to investigate and correct any inaccurate information, both parties have consistently refused to comply. This flagrant violation of consumer law has caused extensive frustration and financial harm. 

I strongly believe that it is within your jurisdiction to thoroughly investigate this matter and ensure that XXXX XXXX adheres to the mandated consumer protection regulations. It is imperative that appropriate enforcement actions are taken to rectify this issue promptly and prevent any further harm to consumers. 

I kindly request that you conduct a thorough investigation into the practices of XXXX XXXX and take the necessary steps to address this matter. I firmly believe that it is essential to uphold our consumer rights and hold companies accountable for their actions. 

I appreciate your attention to this matter and your dedication to safeguarding the rights of consumers. Should you require any additional information or supporting evidence, please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to a prompt resolution to this dispute. 

Thank you for your time and consideration.
