Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
A collection account is being reported on my credit file that has not been properly validated. I exercised my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) by requesting validation of the alleged debt. The furnisher failed to provide any legitimate documentation proving that the debt is mine, that the amount is accurate, or that they have the legal authority to collect it. 
Despite the lack of verification, this account continues to appear on my credit report, which constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requiring only accurate and verifiable information to be reported. The continued reporting of an unvalidated account is inaccurate and misleading.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
This is my final notice regarding your ongoing noncompliance with federal credit reporting laws. I previously disputed the accuracy and legitimacy of several items on my credit report, yet your agency has failed to act in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

Your violations include : Failure to validate the debt as required under 15 USC 1692g ( Section 809 ( b ) ).

Continuing communication after a certified cease-and-desist request violates 15 USC 1692c ( Section 805 ( c ) ).

Harassment under 15 USC 1692d ( Section 806 ).

Recently, I received notice that your investigation was complete, but the disputed accounts remain on my credit report. These accounts are not only inaccurate but were never authorized by me. No valid contract exists, and I have not provided any written consent for the reporting of these accounts, as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681b.

Complaint narrative:
CFPB Complaint XXXX XXXXXXXX This complaint is linked to my previous CFPB complaint XXXX XXXXXXXX. 

I am filing again because I now have new verified documents from the furnisher proving that the information being reported is inaccurate. 

XXXX XXXX issued : 1. A Payoff/Account Status Letter dated XX/XX/XXXX confirming the account was at a {$0.00} balance, last payment was XX/XX/XXXX, and the maturity date was XX/XX/XXXX. 
2. A Discharge of Lien Letter dated XX/XX/XXXX confirming the account is fully satisfied and the lien has been released. 

Despite this, Experian continues to report outdated and inaccurate information, including incorrect status dates, dispute notations, and payment history. The information is not consistent with the verified records provided by the furnisher. 

I am requesting a reinvestigation and correction of the reported data, or removal of the tradeline if the furnisher can not provide updated and accurate information.
