Consumer complaint received 2025-04-01 00:00:00
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: FL

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute the continued reporting of a closed and charged-off account from XXXX XXXX ( Partial Account # : XXXX ) as it currently appears on my credit reports with the consumer reporting agencies. 

The account is listed as " Closed Charge Off '' and " Past Due {$3500.00} '', yet I believe this reporting is inaccurate, incomplete, and/or unverifiable in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S. Code 1681i and 1681s-2. Specifically : Failure to Investigate Properly : I previously submitted disputes with the credit bureaus regarding this account, requesting a thorough investigation and validation of the debt as required by FCRA 1681i ( a ). To date, no meaningful verification or documentation has been provided to substantiate the accuracy of this information.

Incomplete and Misleading Information : The reporting of the account as both charged-off and still past due is misleading. Once a debt is charged-off, the balance becomes a write-off for accounting purposes, and it should no longer be simultaneously labeled as past due unless active collection is occurring. This dual-status reporting may violate FCRA 1681e ( b ), which requires credit bureaus to maintain maximum possible accuracy.

Violation of My Rights to Accurate and Fair Reporting : I believe this item is causing significant harm to my credit profile and may be reported in a manner that is not fully consistent across all credit reporting agencies, raising concerns of inconsistent data furnishing under FCRA 1681s-2 ( b ).

I am requesting the immediate investigation and removal of this account from my credit reports if XXXX XXXX can not provide full and verified documentation showing the legal validity, current balance breakdown, and complete payment history of this debt. 

I am also requesting a formal statement of results from this investigation within the timeframe allotted by law. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a timely and fair resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Florida XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I am continually being called on the telephone by this agency over an alleged debt. I am requesting validation of this debt. This account has been reporting inaccurately. I wanted to dispute this account because of this and it was affecting my credit report. I am having problems with this unfair treatment. I am sure that I settled this account before because it was not mine. This account was taken care of with the original creditor and promised me to update it out of my report. Therefore, this account is unverifiable. This is an error that you need to look into, so please do your investigation on this and remove or delete this account from my credit report.
