Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
My account with Experian was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX  and all payments were placed on XXXX. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 


This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 


I demand the late payment reported to be removed. 


They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 


15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section XXXX ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than XXXX days before the payment due date. 


Experian Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section XXXX ( b ). 


I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered XXXX  days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule XXXX and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 


Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint and request your assistance regarding a debt that has been inaccurately reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, account number XXXX, across all three major credit bureaus : XXXX, Experian, and XXXX. 

On a prior occasion, I requested a contract assignment and validation of this debt from the credit collection agency ; however, despite more than XXXX  days having passed, I have not received any of the requested documentation. The failure to provide this information within the legally required timeframe is a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

Furthermore, I have identified significant discrepancies in the way this repossession is being reported by the credit bureaus : XXXX. XXXX credit bureau is displaying no payment history for this account. 
XXXX. The other XXXX credit bureaus are inaccurately reporting multiple months of repossessions, when in reality, a repossession only takes place once. 

This misrepresentation is not only damaging but also extends the statute of limitations, which is in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681. The FCRA mandates that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of the information they report. 

Due to these inaccuracies and the failure to validate the debt, I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and assist in having the incorrect repossession entries removed entirely from my credit reports. 

I respectfully ask for your prompt attention to this matter. I am requesting that you ensure that the credit bureaus correct this misrepresentation and provide an updated and accurate copy of my credit report. 

Thank you for your assistance. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
