Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

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 each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them.

Complaint narrative:
They refuse to delete the incorrect information on my XXXX XXXX Card from XX/XX/22 under Status : Paid, Closed {$430.00} Written off. Yes Ive called XXXX XXXX also and send them the same paperwork and nobody wants to fix this let alone delete it of my account since the information is false and reported incorrectly. And pursuant to the law this should be deleted of my credit report entirely. 

This is a lie, I paid the account in Full and Closed the account myself. I have sent proof to both Experian and to XXXX XXXX and they both refuse to do what they are legally obligated by law to do pursuant to 15 USC 1681.

The information listed is false and inaccurate and is effecting my credit negatively, I have sent proof repeatedly regarding this issue. Without a resolution? What do I do to get someone to do what the law says they're supposed to do when the information is incorrect and false?

DO I need to hire an attorney and sue them both for Defamation since neither party wants to fix the problem correctly by deleting it since the information is false.
