Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( XXXX U.S. CXXXX XXXX ) 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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both XXXX U.S. CXXXX XXXXb ( 2 ) and XXXX U.S. CXXXX XXXXc-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under XXXX U.S. CXXXX XXXXn, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX  and Equifax has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit R Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against XXXX  and Equifax, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where XXXX  and Equifax has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as XXXX  and Equifax inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Inaccurate or false information on cunsumer reports can threaten consumers ' this can easily be your company.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a false collection account for {$4600.00} reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. This item is appearing on my credit report without any prior notice, validation, or supporting documentation. I was not made aware of this alleged balance when I moved out, and I strongly dispute its legitimacy.

I attempted to resolve this matter directly through the credit bureaus online dispute process, but the system did not allow me to file a proper dispute or escalate it. The collection is negatively impacting my credit score and is actively preventing me from securing housing, as I have been denied multiple apartment applications based on this report. 

This collection entry appears to be inaccurate, unverified, and unjustified, and I am requesting urgent action due to the impact it is having on my ability to move and maintain stable housing.
