Complaint narrative:
In XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX owed me a refund and never paid. After getting my bank involved my claim was honored and credit issued based on the email from XXXX stating they were going to issue me a refund. Now XX/XX/XXXX I received an email from a thrid-party creditor, TrueAccord, demanding payment for a balance owed to XXXX for the exact amount. They want my telephone number, address and all of my personal information. They were recording the call and so was I but the supervisor immediately discontinued the call after I advised him I was recording. Also he refused to provide contact information so that I could escalate my issue further. The whole thing was very suspicious and I am afraid XXXX has sold my information to the dark web. I am very concerned and my information being safeguarded. I have had 5 letters mailed to me about my data being breached in the last 6 months and it never tells me which company 's data was breached! Only offering to monitor my credit.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint to request the deletion of a specific account from my credit report with Experian Information Solutions Inc. due to inaccurate and inconsistent information, based on my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). 
Details of the Account in Dispute : Account Number : XXXX, XXXX, XXXX Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Incorrect information identified in reports from all three credit bureaus.

Legal Grounds for Information Deletion : Right to Accurate Information ( FCRA, Section 609 - 15 U.S.C. 1681g ) : I request that the authenticity of this account be manually verified with the original creditor, rather than relying on the automated e-OSCAR system, and that I receive a detailed explanation of the verification process.

Reinvestigation of Disputed Information ( FCRA, Section 611 - 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) : Under this section, I demand a full reinvestigation of the account and immediate correction of any inaccurate information. 
Deletion of Inaccurate or Unverified Information ( FCRA, Section 611 ( 5 ) - 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( 5 ) ) : In accordance with the FCRA, if the information can not be verified, it must be removed from the report.

Responsibility of Information Furnishers ( FCRA, Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ) : The creditors inability to validate this information warrants its removal.

Compliance with Accuracy Procedures ( FCRA, Section 607 - 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ) : The inaccuracy in my report suggests a failure to adhere to required accuracy procedures.

Permissible Purposes for Access ( FCRA, Section 604 - 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) : I request confirmation that access to my report was legitimate. If it was not, I request the removal of any unauthorized data. 
Truth in Lending Act ( TILA, Section 1601 - 15 U.S.C. 1601 ) : TILA reinforces my right to accurate information, and the presence of this inaccurate account contradicts that right. 

Supporting Case Law : In XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ), the responsibility of credit bureaus to adequately investigate consumer disputes is emphasized. XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX further reinforces the obligation to maintain reasonable procedures to ensure accuracy.

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of the dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian 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, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer

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 written consent.
