Company: Credit Card Receivables Fund Incorporated
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I had a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and I was having issues logging into my online account to pay. I did not pay for 3 months and my debt was brought into collections. The collections company I was dealing with was called XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. I was unable to pay the full amount they requested at the time to settle the debt so the person I was dealing with said I can setup a direct deposit with them for {$100.00} a month to settle my debt. I have copies of XXXX consecutive checks each w/ the amount of {$100.00} issued and paid to XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX and ending on XX/XX/XXXX. A total amount of {$900.00}. XXXX setup an auto pay to settle the debt and when they stopped automatically collecting from my bank account I thought the issue was resolved. I later find that a new collection company called Unifund LLC has placed a collection and derogatory remark on my credit report for the amount of {$1500.00} which I believe was similar to the amount I originally owed to XXXX XXXX  and XXXX XXXX. I am trying to purchase my first home so I need this to be resolved on my credit report, also I do not see how it is legal and not fraudulent for another company to take over my debt and for the amount to reset after all the payments I have made. This is negatively impacting my credit and decreasing my chances of purchasing my first home. I really hope this can be resolved so I can move on w/ fixing my credit and purchasing my first home.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Under Section 611 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), consumers have the right to dispute any inaccurate or incomplete information on their credit reports. This section places specific responsibilities on both the credit reporting agencies ( CRAs ) and the information furnishers, ensuring that consumer disputes are handled accurately and fairly. I am writing to file a formal complaint against the credit reporting agency ( CRAs ) Experian regarding the inaccurate reporting of non-compliant information on my consumer report. My efforts to address this matter directly with Experian have yielded unsatisfactory results, prompting me to seek assistance from your agency. 

Background and Dispute Nature : On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted certified mail dispute letter to Experian disputing the accuracy and compliance of information reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Despite providing evidence and raising concerns about the information 's non-compliance with Metro 2 guidelines, Experian responded that the information was Metro 2 compliant, despite the evident inconsistencies. These inaccuracies have had significant adverse effects on my financial well-being. 

Experian Role and Responsibility : As the entities responsible for accurately reporting and maintaining consumer information, I am deeply concerned about the Experian apparent lack of vigilance in upholding the integrity of the credit reporting system. Experian plays a crucial role in helping consumers access fair and accurate credit reports, which in turn impact their financial opportunities and well-being. In my case, Experian failure to accurately report non-compliant information has led to severe financial and personal repercussions.
