Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX MD XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Im reaching out because I noticed a collection account on my credit report from XXXX ( original creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) account ending in XXXX and I believe theres a mistake that needs to be addressed. 

The account is showing a date opened of XX/XX/XXXX, which is clearly incorrect, as thats in the future. As far as I know, credit reports should only show accurate, up-to-date information, and this feels like a pretty significant error. 

On top of that, theres no payment history or clear breakdown of the debt which makes me question whether this account was properly verified before being added to my report. 

Because of these issues, Im asking that you take a closer look and either verify and correct the account or remove it completely if it cant be confirmed. Id really appreciate your help getting this cleaned up. 

Thanks so much, and I look forward to hearing back from you soon. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX of Birth : XX/XX/XXXX Last XXXX of XXXX : XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because a collection agency is reporting inaccurate information on my credit report. I have disputed the account and requested validation from the debt collector, but they failed to provide proper documentation proving that the debt is valid and that I am legally responsible for it. Despite this, the agency continues to report the account to the credit bureaus. 

This is a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which require that all information reported to credit bureaus be accurate and verifiable. I am requesting that this collection account be removed from my credit reports and that the collection agency cease all reporting and communication until the debt is properly validated.

Complaint narrative:
I am updating a late payment that is currently being reported on my credit report as " open '' or unresolved. This entry is inaccurate and misleading. I have either already resolved the payment, or I was never late as claimed. The continued reporting of this item as open and delinquent is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

This misreporting has negatively impacted my credit score and may hinder my ability to obtain credit or employment. I am requesting an immediate investigation into this matter, as well as a correction or deletion of the inaccurate late payment record if it can not be verified.

State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint because Experian has repeatedly failed to conduct proper investigations of inaccurate and fraudulent accounts on my credit report. I submitted disputes, and Experian responded with vague or misleading updated or verified outcomes without supplying documentation or actual results. 

For example, I disputed a fraudulent collection account listed as : XXXX XXXX  account opened XX/XX/XXXX, with a balance of {$9400.00} reported as of XX/XX/XXXX. Despite my dispute, Experian marked this account as " updated '' rather than removing it or validating its legitimacy. No verification documents were provided. 

Another account I disputed is : XXXX XXXX  opened XX/XX/XXXX, showing a charge-off of {$9500.00} with an original credit limit of {$8000.00}. This account was sold to XXXX XXXX, and now appears twice under different names, violating the Fair Credit Reporting Acts rule against duplicate reporting. Experian did not remove either entry and falsely marked the item as " updated. '' I also disputed : XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, opened XX/XX/XXXX, showing a past due amount of {$1700.00} and a total balance of {$14000.00} as of XX/XX/XXXX. Experian marked this account as investigation complete but kept the negative remarks, despite me challenging the legitimacy of the charges. 

Another account : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, opened XX/XX/XXXX, had a reported past due balance of {$260.00} with a total balance of {$3700.00} as of XX/XX/XXXX. Again, despite disputing this, Experian left the late payment on the report, stating it was " updated, '' without providing validation. 

Important note : Experian is also reporting my address incorrectly as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX but my correct address is XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX, MI XXXX. This discrepancy has not been fixed despite notification. 

I have made multiple attempts to dispute these items under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and referenced consumer law protections including 15 U.S.C. 1681i, 1681s-2, and 1666 ( b ). My disputes were sent prior to and throughout XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, but no meaningful reinvestigation occurred. 

Experians dispute results document uses vague terms like updated or remains with no proof or supporting documents. This pattern of behavior indicates a violation of my rights, as the law requires accurate reporting and a meaningful reinvestigation.
