Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this formal complaint against Experian for repeated and egregious violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), codified at 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. Over an extended period of time spanning well beyond a year, I have submitted numerous formal disputes regarding the fraudulent XXXX  XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX BANK XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, which was accessed and reported without a permissible purpose in direct violation of 1681b ( a ). Despite providing all required documentationincluding government-issued identification, proof of address, a valid Identity Theft Report, and a signed statement under penalty of perjuryExperian has failed to take corrective action or respond as required by law. My signed statement under penalty of perjury was submitted in accordance with FCRA 605B, which requires credit reporting agencies to block fraudulent information when a consumer provides proper identity theft documentation. This sworn statement affirms that the disputed account was not authorized by me and is the result of identity theft, and it legally obligates Experian to block the account within four business days of receipt. Their failure to do so is a direct violation of 605B ( a ).

The following letters were sent as part of my ongoing efforts to resolve this matter : XX/XX/XXXX -SENT Demand for Original, Executed Contract Under FCRA 609 ( a ) ( XXXX ) ( A ) XX/XX/XXXX - SENT Formal Dispute of Inaccurate Credit Reporting under the FCRA Request for Immediate Investigation and Correction Letter XX/XX/XXXX, XXXXSENT Non Compliance Letter XX/XX/XXXX, XXXXSENT Formal Dispute Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Regarding Identity Theft XX/XX/XXXX, XXXXSENT Demand for Immediate Action : Violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Related to Identity Theft XX/XX/XXXX, XXXXSENT Fraud Dispute Letter XX/XX/XXXX, XXXXSENT NOTICE OF NONCOMPLAINCE & INTENT TO FILE SUIT/COMPLAINT XX/XX/XXXX SENT First NOTICE OF DISPUTE These letters, along with many others sent prior, were submitted in good faith and in full compliance with FCRA procedures. Experian has ignored these disputes and failed to respond within the statutory 30-day window under 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), constituting repeated and ongoing violations of federal law. 
Experian 's continued reporting of the accounts after being notified multiple times of its illegitimacy and lack of permissible purpose demonstrates a pattern of willful noncompliance under 1681n and negligent noncompliance under 1681o. These repeated violations have caused me substantial financial harm, emotional distress, and reputational damage, including denial of credit opportunities and undue scrutiny.

The account in questionXXXX XXXX XXXXwas previously removed following my identity theft dispute, for which I provided a valid FTC Identity Theft Report and supporting documentation.

I am demanding monetary compensation in the amount of {$1500.00} {$1000.00} in statutory damages and {$500.00} for emotional distress and reputational harm.

I was shocked to discover an unauthorized inquiry on my credit report today, and I dont understand why its there.

This is completely unacceptable, and I need it addressed without delay. I am requesting a thorough review of my submitted documents to ensure this never happens again.

Complaint narrative:
These entries remain unverified and questionable. Despite multiple attempts to have these inaccuracies properly investigated and resolved, no meaningful action has been taken. I have submitted all required documentation and followed up repeatedly, yet the errors persist. This ongoing lack of action has caused undue financial hardship and has significantly affected my well-being. The mental and emotional toll of dealing with these unresolved discrepancies has been overwhelming. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a fair and accurate credit report, including the removal of unverifiable or incorrect information. I urge you to take immediate steps to verify and rectify these items, as failure to do so constitutes a violation of my rights under federal law.

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/year>, I filed a complaint through the CFPB against Experian regarding the improper use of my credit report with respect to XXXX U.S.C. section XXXX. 

I received no communications from Experian to support any findings on my credit report. 

I have been denied access to fair credit as a result of these negligent and willful violations of said credit reporting agency. 

These unresolved issues went unacknowledged by the reporting agency and as such are in direct violation of federal law regarding fair credit reporting. 

I would like all derogatory accounts removed from my credit report immediately.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this formal complaint against Experian for repeated and willful violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) in connection with identity theft disputes I have filed. Despite providing Experian with a complete FTC Identity Theft Report and supporting documentation, they have failed to block or delete fraudulent accounts from my credit report, as required by law. Specifically, the accounts in question include XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX which XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX confirmed would be removed but remains on my report ; XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXXXXXX all of which are identity theft-related and should have been blocked under 1681c-2 of the FCRA. Experians refusal to act constitutes a violation of 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ), for failing to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation, and 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ), for reinserting accounts without proper notice. These negligent actions have caused me emotional distress, wasted time, and financial harm. 
For reference and further substantiation, I am attaching a copy of the letter dated XX/XX/year>, which outlines my dispute and legal demand for deletion. This letter serves as formal notice and supports the claims made in this complaint.
