Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing several inaccuracies currently appearing on my credit report, specifically unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate or approve. These entries represent a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly 15 U.S. Code 1681i, which requires a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates that information reported must be accurate to the maximum extent possible. In addition, I am disputing a potentially misreported late payment. According to 15 U.S.C. 1666b, creditors must allow at least XXXX  days between the statement date and the payment due date before classifying a payment as late. Based on my records, this standard may not have been met, or the payment was submitted on time and inaccurately reported as delinquent.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Im reaching out to dispute an account thats currently showing on my credit report. I need you to certify, with full accuracy and confidence, that every single piece of data tied to this account actually belongs to me including but not limited to the account number, payment history, balances, dates, and all identifying details. 

If you can not fully verify and certify that this account and all of the information attached to it is 100 % accurate and legitimately tied to me, then you are obligated to delete the entire account from my credit report immediately. 

Let me be very clear : Im not asking whether the account looks familiar. I am demanding that you confirm that each data point reported under my name is accurate, verifiable, and truly mine. If theres even a shred of uncertainty, or if you can not produce the necessary records to validate this account as mine, it does not belong on my credit report and keeping it there would be a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Complaint narrative:
Received a letter on XX/XX/XXXX form XXXX which indicated my total amount due will be {$220.00} due for XX/XX/XXXX. I went online to make a payment of {$99.00} on the date of XX/XX/XXXX to make a partial payment of {$99.00} and log in to their online chat to get some information in regards to the payment I made that day. I wanted to make sure that the partial payment will be deducted from the total amount due of {$220.00}. That when the online representative stated that the amount due is for {$300.00}. I Made the representative aware that's not the amount it's showing online and the amount that was provided on the bill summary I received for XX/XX/XXXX. I also received a letter on XX/XX/XXXX that indicated a different amount would be due on XX/XX/XXXX which show XXXX payments of {$140.00} starting XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX payment of {$110.00} due XX/XX/XXXX. I asked them to produce the bill stating that my payment will be {$300.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, no-one could produce that information. I asked to speak with a Manager and the representative kept going in circles. I had to ask several times for a Manager. Finally a Supervisor got on the chat and I made him aware of the issue and he still could not produce the bill that indicated my payment would be {$300.00} for XX/XX/XXXX However he did make me aware he would submit my account for a review and a Manager would be in contact with me. I logged in to my account today XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX and it stated the amount I owed at that time was {$140.00}, I guess deducting the {$99.00} from the {$220.00}. I logged in again at XXXX XXXX and Now it's stating I owe {$300.00}. They went in the account to make adjustments with out contact me as they said the would not taking into consideration of the error they made. I also provided them screen shots that showed them what my account balance was showing at that time which was the amount of {$220.00} due XX/XX/XXXX

Complaint narrative:
THE REPORTING AGENCY IS RETAINING, RESELLING, AND REDISTRIBUTING DATA THAT IS UNVERIFIED, INCOMPLETE, AND POTENTIALLY FALSE IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF 15 U.S.C. 1681E ( B ) AND 1681A ( D ) ( 2 ), AS WELL AS THE GRAMM-LEACH-BLILEY ACTS DATA ACCURACY AND CONFIDENTIALITY REQUIREMENTS. THIS CONDUCT SHOWS A DISREGARD FOR DATA INTEGRITY AND CONSUMER PRIVACY PROTECTIONS. 
EVEN AFTER NOTICE OF DISPUTE, THE AGENCY CONTINUES TO REPORT THE SAME ERRONEOUS INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES AND AFFILIATES, KNOWING THAT IT LACKS DOCUMENTED PROOF OR VERIFIABLE SOURCE RECORDS. THIS CONSTITUTES A PATTERN OF WILLFUL NONCOMPLIANCE AND UNLAWFUL PROFITEERING FROM DEFECTIVE DATA. 
BY RESELLING OR REISSUING DATA THAT HAS BEEN DISPUTED AND NOT VERIFIED, THE AGENCY IS KNOWINGLY PARTICIPATING IN THE TRANSMISSION OF FALSE CONSUMER INFORMATION. THIS VIOLATES THE DUTY TO ASSURE MAXIMUM POSSIBLE ACCURACY AND UNDERMINES THE CONSUMERS RIGHTS TO FAIR AND TRUTHFUL CREDIT REPORTING. 
THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ERROR IT IS SYSTEMIC MISCONDUCT THAT DAMAGES CONSUMER CREDIT STANDING AND ENABLES OTHER ENTITIES TO CONTINUE RELYING ON INCORRECT INFORMATION THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN PURGED IMMEDIATELY AFTER DISPUTE.
