Complaint narrative:
I appreciate your assistance in getting some of the fraudulently obtained data from my credit file removed, but there are still items that need to be blocked or removed. You must remove all records listed on an ID THEFT REPORT in accordance with FCRA section 605 of the regulations. I am proactively including this report again because I proactively remembered it for a previous letter. I have informed my attorney of my intentions, and they are willing to hold you accountable for your persistent disobedience.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am filing a complaint against Experian for failing to properly investigate and verify the accuracy of information on my credit report, which I believe is in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

On XX/XX/year>, I submitted a dispute regarding the account reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX simple through Experians online dispute system. I indicated that the account was incorrect and did not belong to me. In accordance with the FCRA, Experian was required to verify the accuracy of the disputed information by obtaining proper documentation from the furnisher or remove the account from my credit report. 

However, today, XX/XX/year>, I received a notice from Experian stating that the account had been verified and would remain on my credit report. Experian failed to provide any documentation or evidence to support this verification. I believe this response does not comply with the requirements of the FCRA to conduct a proper investigation.

Violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : 1. Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) Experian is required to conduct a reasonable investigation of disputed information within 30 days. I do not believe a thorough investigation was conducted, and Experian did not obtain sufficient verification from the furnisher.

2. Section 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ) I requested verification of the account, including documentation to show that the debt or account belongs to me, but Experian has not provided any such evidence. 3. Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) If the disputed information can not be verified, the credit reporting agency is obligated to delete or correct it. Despite the lack of proper verification, Experian has continued to report this account on my credit file.

Relief Requested : I request that the CFPB investigate this matter and ensure that Experian provides adequate verification documentation for the disputed account or removes the account from my credit report if they are unable to provide proper verification. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
RE : Late Payment Improperly Reported- I XXXX XXXX XXXX RIGHT TO PRIVACY under 15 USC 1681A ( 4 ) as a federally protected consumer and I know my rights presented under the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly outlined within 15 USC 1681. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) 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 and 15 USC 1681o, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent. I was reviewing my consumer reports and noticed XXXX XXXX on my credit report that need be immediately updated to paid as agreed. My Consumer rights have been violated by XXXX, XXXX, Experian. XXXX, XXXX, Experian has violated my consumer rights and violated federal law. This is multiple attempts to notify you of this erroneous error on the part of your agency. This erroneous late payment is affecting my ability to obtain a loan to save my business from crumbling and also blocking me from the housing that I so desperately need for myself and my family. Please change this to paid as agreed immediately so that I may proceed with my life, or I may be forced to seek legal damages against your agency as I already have sought legal counsel in this more than important matter. Thank you.
