Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint regarding Experians repeated failure to comply with federal laws under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Despite multiple dispute letters sent to Experian regarding inaccuracies on my credit report, they have failed to adequately investigate or correct the errors as required under the following statutes : 15 USC 1681e ( b ) : Experian has failed to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information in my credit file.

15 USC 1681s-2 : They have not enforced the responsibilities of the information furnishers.

15 USC 1681i ( 5 ) : Experian has failed to conduct proper reinvestigations and remove inaccurate information.

15 USC 1681c ( c ) : Prohibited or outdated information remains on my credit report.

Additionally, I have learned of the recent CFPB lawsuit against Experian alleging sham investigations of credit report disputes. My experience aligns with the claims in the lawsuit, as Experian has either ignored my disputes or failed to conduct a proper investigation, threatening my access to credit, employment, and housing. 

On XXXX, I sent a notarized dispute letter to Experian requesting an investigation into the inaccurate information on my credit report, such as the Inaccurate balances, dates, addresses, ect. 


Experian responded by stating that " all information was verified, '' without providing any evidence of the verification process or addressing the inaccuracies in detail. 

On XXXX, I sent a 2nd notarized dispute letter to Experian again requesting an investigation into the numerous inaccuracies on my credit report. 

Experian again, responded by stating that " all information was verified, '' without providing any evidence of the verification process or addressing the inaccuracies in detail.

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations. 

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Equifax for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report, as well as I have not given any written consent to report anything on my report. Despite my submissions, Equifax consistently responds within 24 hours stating the account is accurate, without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation. This practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Equifax 's actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C. 5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPB 's recent administrative proceeding ( File No. 2025-CFPB-0002 ) against them for similar violations. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Equifax complies with Federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation. these are the accounts that I want to immediately removed from my credit reports XXXX acct # XXXX, XXXX XXXX  acct # XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX acct XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX acct XXXX XXXX, and all Inquiries associated hard/soft pulls all removed and for my report to remain and reflect at all times a perfect score of a XXXX fico score.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute information on my credit report that I believe to be inaccurate and in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

I have noticed that despite these two account being charged off and closed on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, monthly late payments have been reported on my credit report continuously for the past six years, which is well beyond the permissible reporting period under the FCRA. Here are the specific issues : 1. Inaccurate Reporting : Under Section 605 ( a ) ( 4 ) of the FCRA, most negative items, including charge-offs and late payments, can remain on a credit report for only 7 years from the date of first delinquency. The continuous reporting of late payments after the accounts were charged off and closed is not only inaccurate but also extends the period beyond what is legally allowed. 

2. Violation of FCRA : The act of reporting new late payments on an account that has been charged off and closed suggests an attempt to extend the statute of limitations or misrepresent the account 's status, which is a violation of Section 623 of the FCRA. This section requires furnishers of information to ensure the accuracy of the data provided to credit reporting agencies. 

3. Deceptive Practice : This practice could be considered misleading under the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau 's ( CFPB ) regulations, as it misrepresents my current creditworthiness and financial status. 

I request that you : - Investigate this matter promptly under Section 611 of the FCRA. 
- Remove all inaccurate, outdated, or erroneous entries related to this account from my credit report. 
- Ensure that no further updates are made to this account as if it were still active. 
- Provide me with a written confirmation of the actions taken to correct my credit report. 

Please acknowledge receipt of this dispute and inform me of the status of the investigation within 30 days as required by law. 

I have enclosed a copy of my credit report highlighting the disputed items and additional documentation related to the account 's status. I am prepared to provide further documentation or information if needed. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your swift resolution of this issue. 

Sincerely,
