Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally address the ongoing noncompliance of your agency in relation to my identity theft report, which I previously submitted in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Despite having sent several letters, your agency has repeatedly rejected my identity theft report on the grounds that it was not filed by a law enforcement agency. This decision is not in compliance with the FCRA and fails to recognize the guidance provided by identitytheft.gov as mandated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). 

As you are aware, the FCRA at Section 605B and the guidance provided by the CFPB under identitytheft.gov clearly outline the process for filing an identity theft report. The CFPB specifically states that victims of identity theft can file a report directly through identitytheft.gov, which then becomes a valid identity theft report under the FCRA. Nowhere does the FCRA require this report to be submitted by law enforcement for it to be valid. 

Furthermore, under FCRA Section 617, your agency is legally required to investigate and resolve any identity theft dispute in a timely manner, and you are prohibited from deciding unilaterally what is valid or invalid when it comes to an identity theft report that has been properly filed. Your refusal to acknowledge this report based on your own standardsrather than what is set forth in federal lawis a clear violation of the FCRA. 

Legal Precedent : XXXX v. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ) : This case underscores the importance of proper handling of disputes related to credit reporting and emphasizes that credit reporting agencies can not disregard information simply based on their own internal policies when federal law mandates a specific process. 
XXXX v. Experian Information Solutions XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX Cir. XXXX ) : This case reinforced that credit reporting agencies must follow FCRA regulations, including investigating claims of identity theft in accordance with the law, and can not arbitrarily determine what constitutes an acceptable identity theft report. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  : This decision clarified that a credit reporting agency is obligated to accept documents submitted by the consumer, as long as they meet the legal requirements for disputing inaccurate information under the FCRA.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information appearing on my credit report and to demand a proper reinvestigation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. Despite my previous requests, you have failed to provide verifiable proof of the alleged accuracy of the disputed account ( s ), thereby violating your obligations under FCRA 611 ( a ) and 623 ( b ). Furthermore, your continued failure to properly investigate and correct these inaccuracies constitutes a breach of FCRA 617, which imposes liability for noncompliance.

Legal Precedents and Monetary Liabilities for Noncompliance Your failure to properly investigate and correct inaccurate reporting is not only a violation of federal law but has also resulted in substantial legal liability for credit reporting agencies ( CRAs ) and data furnishers in numerous cases. Below are examples of cases where courts have held CRAs and data furnishers liable for FCRA violations, resulting in significant monetary damages : XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) The XXXX Supreme Court upheld a class-action lawsuit against XXXX for improperly labeling consumers as potential terrorists or drug traffickers without proper verification. The company was ordered to pay over {$60.00} XXXX in damages.

XXXX. CFPB Enforcement Action against XXXX ( XXXX ) The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) fined XXXX {$3.00} XXXX for failing to correct inaccurate reporting and misleading consumers about dispute resolution rights. 
These cases illustrate that CRAs and data furnishers who fail to adhere to FCRA regulations can and will be held accountable through legal action and financial penalties. Your refusal to provide verifiable proof of the accuracy of the reported account ( XXXX ) places you in direct violation of your statutory obligations and exposes you to potential legal consequences. Pursuant to FCRA 611 ( a ), I demand that you immediately conduct a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of the following account ( XXXX ) : XXXX XXXX XXXX
