Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I, XXXX XXXX, encountered multiple violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and other consumer protection laws relating to my credit report. These violations involve the willful reporting of inaccurate, unverified, and deceptive information by credit reporting agencies and debt collectors. Specifically : Failure to Verify Accuracy : Credit reporting agencies accepted and furnished information about me without verifying its accuracy, violating FCRA Section 616.

Inadequate Disclosure of Rights : They failed to inform me of my right to opt out of having my personal information shared, which breaches FCRA Section 603 ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ).

Deceptive Reporting Practices : Some accounts and inquiries were reported inaccurately, violating Section 623 ( a ) ( 3 ) of the FCRA and causing significant distress.

Harassment and Unfair Practices : Debt collectors engaged in deceptive tactics, reporting debts without proper validation or my consent, and contacting third parties about alleged debts, violating both the FCRA and the Debt Collection Practices Act. 
Late Payment Errors : Late payments were reported without proper justification or clarity, making the reporting misleading and inaccurate.

Finance Charge Inaccuracies : Errors were made in determining finance charges, which further contributed to the inaccuracies in my report.

Unlawful Reporting of Information : Some accounts were reported without obtaining my explicit written consent, which violates the permissible purposes outlined in the FCRA.

These issues have led to incorrect and damaging information on my credit report, prompting me to demand corrections and deletions of inaccuracies. I authorized this dispute and outlined specific instances and accounts where violations occurred. For each disputed item, I have requested validation under 15 U.S. Code 1692g, which requires the production of evidence, such as contracts or agreements bearing my signature. In cases where validation can not be provided, I demanded the immediate removal of the inaccurate items. 

My intention is to ensure that my credit report reflects only accurate and validated information and to hold responsible parties accountable for these violations.

Complaint narrative:
The debt was added to my credit report without proper notification. I previously disputed it with PROCOLLECT, requesting itemized charges, receipts, and photos to justify the debt. They responded with irrelevant lease documents that did not explain the charges or support their claim, wasting time. I am not legally responsible for this debt, as I never signed key lease sections or agreed to these obligations. XXXX, the primary leaseholder, also failed to notify me. I am concerned PROCOLLECT may repeat these stalling tactics again by resending irrelevant or incomplete documents. Please remove this inaccurate debt from my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request your assistance regarding an ongoing issue I have been experiencing with my credit report from Experian. My name is [ XXXX XXXX XXXX  ], and my Social Security Number is [ XXXX XXXX  ]. I have encountered significant difficulties in accessing my updated credit report due to the removal of my address and date of birth by Experian without my consent. 

Background of the Issue On [ XXXX XXXX  ], I noticed that my credit report was not reflecting the most recent updates, with the last available report being from XX/XX/year>. This situation is concerning as it affects my ability to monitor my credit status accurately. Upon contacting XXXX customer service, I expressed my concerns about the outdated information on my report. 

During this call, a representative informed me that they had deleted my address without any request from me. This action was taken after I had previously disputed inaccurate addresses that were associated with identity theft incidents affecting me. While I appreciate their efforts to correct inaccuracies, the removal of essential identifying information such as my address and date of birth has left me unable to access an updated version of my credit report. 

Request for Clarification and Action After speaking with a supervisor at Experian, I was told that in order to rectify this situation, I would need to provide identification and address verification documents. However, I believe this process is unjustly placing the burden on me as a consumer when it was XXXX actions that led to this predicament. Their response has felt robotic and lacking in empathy ; despite explaining that these issues stem from their handling of sensitive information related to identity theft, they have repeatedly insisted that it is up to me to resolve this matter. 

I am concerned that XXXX conduct may be violating consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). It appears they are not adequately addressing the implications of their actions on consumers who have been victims of identity theft. Furthermore, given the context of recent data breaches affecting personal information security, I feel targeted by their processes which seem unreasonably stringent under these circumstances.

Complaint narrative:
" I am addressing the issue with regarding the noncompliance. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not, that is considered identity theft.

As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly under 15 U.S.C. 1681n, there exists statutory civil liability for willful noncompliance. This provision stipulates that any person who willfully fails to comply with consumer protection requirements may be liable to the affected consumer for damages, including potential punitive measures and reimbursement of legal costs. This underscores the importance of addressing and rectifying this matter promptly and responsibly.
