Complaint narrative:
of this unlawful derogatory information from my credit report. 
Violations of : Permissible Purpose : 15 USC 1581b Accuracy : 15 USC 1681e ( b ) & 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ) ( a ) Verification : 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ) Responsibilities of Furnishers : 15 USC 1681s-2 Experian has unlawfully and illegally reporting derogatory information on my credit report without proper authorization. I have repeatedly informed Experian that I was affected by ID Theft and my information was compromised while in coma in hospital and open-heart XXXX to get an artificial XXXX pump. 
These are not credit transactions initiated by me. Additionally, I will be filing federal complaints against Experian for these unlawful practices because my consumer rights have been violated. I have not authorized them to report any information about me, and their actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires a permissible purpose for reporting such information. Their failure to comply with these legal requirements has caused harm to my credit standing. I request that the CFPB investigate this matter thoroughly and ensure that this derogatory information is removed from my credit report immediately. XXXX failure to adhere to these legal standards has significantly damaged my credit standing, and I expect immediate corrective action. Illegal accounts are : XXXX : Account Name : XXXX  # XXXX Balance : {$10000.00} Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Issue : Identity Theft Account/Issue : Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX XXXX XXXX {$840.00} Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Issue : Identity Theft Account/Issue : Account Name : XXXX # XXXX Balance : {$1900.00} Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Issue : Identity Theft Account/Issue : Account Name : XXXX  XXXX  XXXX # ** Balance : {$2000.00} Opened : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX Identity Theft Account/Issue : Account Name : XXXX XXXX # XXXX Balance : {$850.00} Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Issue : Identity Theft This failure to provide adequate proof of the alleged debt is a violation of my rights under federal law. I requested to provide verifiable proof of this debt and clarification of how these alleged unauthorized accounts were verified, I have not received anything. This raise concerns about their compliance with legal requirements. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have not given them the authority to access or report any information related to me. Their actions are in violation of the FCRAs requirement for a permissible purpose in reporting credit information. Again, I will be filing complaints at federal levels to address these violations and then seeking a lawyer. I have given Experian a fair opportunity to clear this up, however I am still being harassed.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Dear Sir/Madam : I am writing in regard to the above-referenced debt to inform you that I am disputing this debt. Please verify the debt as required by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. 
I am disputing this debt that you claim I owe it. 
Because I am disputing this debt, you should not report it to the credit reporting agencies. If you have already reported it, please contact the credit reporting agencies, inform them that the debt is disputed, and ask them to delete it from my credit report. Reporting information that you know to be inaccurate, or failing to report information correctly, violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Pursuant to 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ), you have failed to provide the required validation information to substantiate the alleged debt. Additionally, under 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ), I have not been given the opportunity to properly dispute the account as required by law.

Your actions, including the furnishing of this alleged debt to consumer reporting agencies without providing the proper disclosures required by law, constitute violations of 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) and 15 U.S.C. 1661-5 2 ( 7 ) ( A ). These actions amount to false, misleading, and deceptive practices, which infringe upon my consumer rights.

Finally, please note that I do not wish to receive further telephone calls or letters concerning this debt that I do not owe to your client. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act requires you to respect this request. See 15 U.S.C. 1692 ( c ). 
Thank you for your attention to this matter. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX

State: OH

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX EXPERIAN XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on XXXX. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 


This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment to be updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


XXXX EXPERIAN XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 


Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Formal Dispute Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Reporting for XXXX  Account Dear CFPB, I am writing to dispute inaccurate late payment information reported on my TransUnion credit file for the XXXX XXXX  account ( Account # : XXXX ). 
Details of the Dispute Your records inaccurately show late payments for XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. This information is inaccurate and must be corrected immediately. 
Legal Basis for Dispute The inaccurate reporting violates the following laws : Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) : Mandates procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy.

15 U.S. Code 1681i : Requires timely reinvestigation and correction of disputed information.

Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) : 15 U.S. Code 1666b : Protects consumers from unfair penalties by requiring timely billing statements.

15 U.S. Code 1681n : Willful violations of the FCRA expose credit bureaus to liability, including statutory and punitive damages. 
Requested Resolution I demand the removal of the late payment notations for XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, and a written acknowledgment of the corrections made. 
Enclosures To support my claim, I have included : Copy of my identification ( ID ).

Proof of address.

Copy of my Social Security card.

Highlighted credit report showing discrepancies.

Bank statements demonstrating timely payments. 
Notice of Potential Escalation Failure to address this matter within the timeframe mandated by law will result in additional complaints to regulatory agencies and legal action. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

State: CA

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) 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 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed writtenconsent.
