Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: CL Holdings LLC
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute a debt that I believe is invalid. I had job loss insurance on the credit card account associated with this debt. I lost my job prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and immediately notified all my credit card companies, including the original creditor for this debt, of my job loss and the existence of this coverage.

I was assured by the original creditor that the appropriate steps would be taken to resolve the debt under the terms of my job loss insurance. I provided documentation proving my unemployment at their request. Despite this, the debt remains outstanding. 

I have made repeated attempts to resolve this issue with both the original creditor and your company, the current debt holder. Unfortunately, these attempts have been unsuccessful. Specifically, I requested a copy of my original contract, which would clearly demonstrate the job loss insurance coverage I had paid for over several years. Both the original creditor and your company have refused to provide this documentation. 

I believe this debt should be closed due to the job loss insurance coverage in place at the time of my unemployment. I am requesting that you investigate this matter thoroughly, provide me with the requested contract, and cease collection activities immediately. I am prepared to provide further documentation if necessary.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the inaccurate reporting of a late payment on my credit report by credit bureaus. The presence of this late payment inaccurately reflects my payment history, as I have consistently paid my bills on time. This discrepancy constitutes a billing error, violating my rights under the Fair Credit Billing Act, 15 USC 1666B. According to this law, consumers have the right to dispute and seek correction of billing errors, which include inaccuracies in payment reporting.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to conduct a reasonable investigation and remove inaccurate and unverifiable information from my credit report, in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i. Despite submitting a formal dispute with supporting documentation, Experian continues to report erroneous information, causing ongoing financial harm. 

Furthermore, Experian has a history of systemic errors in credit reporting and has been the subject of lawsuits for failing to correct inaccuracies. Previous legal actions, including class-action lawsuits, have alleged that Experian routinely fails to investigate disputes properly, leading to financial damages for consumers. Given Experians pattern of misconduct and its failure to comply with federal law, I am considering further legal action and filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and other relevant agencies. I am requesting immediate action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experians inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to ensure that my credit report includes only accurate, verifiable information. 

The inquiries I am referring to are as follows : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I have looked over my records and let you know that I did not authorize these inquiries. According to** Section 1681b of the FCRA**, an investigation can only be made on my credit report when I give consent or in certain other circumstances.

Under **Section 1681c-2 of the FCRA**, any inquiry that is made without proper authorization is considered unauthorized and should be removed immediately. Please investigate and remove these inquiries from my credit report as soon as possible. Please provide me with written confirmation of your actions. 

If you can not remove the inquiries, I request that you provide me with detailed information on how these inquiries were made, as well as any supporting documentation. 

Please find enclosed a copy of my credit report highlighting the unauthorized inquiries, along with a copy of my identification for verification purposes. I look forward to your prompt response to this matter.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I sent a formal dispute letter to Transunion to address inaccurate items on my credit report. Along with this letter, I provided comprehensive documentation to verify my identity, including a copy of my photo ID, social security card, and a recent utility bill with my current address. 
In my dispute, I explicitly requested specific information regarding the verification process : -Details on how the disputed item was verified. 
-The date when XXXX XXXX the creditor and furnisher. 
-Contact information for the creditor and furnisher. 
-The name of the individual who verified the item. 
-The method of communication used to verify the disputed information ( e.g., phone, email, mail ). 
-Confirmation on whether the creditor and furnisher provided any sensitive personal information, such as my Social Security Number, address, and date of birth during the verification process. 
On XX/XX/year>, I received an email from TransUnion 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 in direct contradiction to my consumer rights as stipulated under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The FCRA requires that if a consumer disputes the accuracy or completeness of any item of information within their credit file, the credit bureau must conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate. 
TransUnions lack of action has effectively denied me the right to an accurate and fair credit report, potentially harming my financial standing. This disregard for my rights under the FCRA is both frustrating and unacceptable. To support my claim, I have attached copies of my original dispute letter and TransUnion 's response.
