Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute an ongoing and unresolved inconsistency in how my payment status and payment history have been reported by Experian. This issue has been disputed multiple times in the past, yet despite my efforts, no corrective action has been taken. Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered that Experian continues to report my payment status as Current, was past due 30 days, which is absolutely inaccurate. In contrast, XXXX XXXX XXXX have accurately reported the payment status as Paid or Paying as Agreed, which correctly reflects my payment history and financial behavior. Furthermore, I have identified an issue with my payment history, where XXXX has correctly reported the payment history, but Experian has reported it incorrectly. This persistent inaccuracy is a direct violation of the maximum possible accuracy requirement under 15 USC 1681e ( b ). It also represents a willful failure to comply with the FCRA, which mandates that all information reported to the credit bureaus must be accurate, complete, and substantiated. Despite having disputed this issue repeatedly, Experian has failed to take appropriate action and continues to misreport my payment status. This demonstrates a clear violation of 15 USC 1681n, which addresses willful noncompliance in the reporting of inaccurate information. XXXX refusal to update this information violates my rights under 15 USC 1681i, which requires that a credit bureau correct any disputed inaccuracies after conducting a reasonable investigation. The fact that this error has persisted despite my repeated disputes shows a blatant disregard for my legal rights and an unwillingness to resolve the issue in a timely manner. I demand that Experian immediately correct this error by updating my payment status to reflect PAID OR PAYING AS AGREED, as reported accurately by XXXX and XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2024, my student loans we're forgiven through the PSLF program and a letter was sent to me by Mohela with the good news. I had been waiting MONTHS for this news so that the balance will drop from my credit and my score will go up accordingly. Sadly, it has been almost 4 months since that letter, which makes a FULL YEAR since my loans were technically forgiven. That has cost me thousands of dollars in interest payments at a higher rate.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
Complaint Against Equifax for Fraudulent and Inaccurate Reporting I am filing this complaint against Equifax for reporting an inaccurate and fraudulent account from ConServe ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) on my credit report. This account contains numerous errors, violates multiple federal consumer protection laws, and has not been properly validated despite my efforts to dispute it. 

First, the account was fraudulently opened using my personal information without my knowledge or consent. I have no contractual agreement with XXXX, yet Equifax continues to report this account. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ), furnishers are required to ensure the accuracy of all information they report, and ConServe has failed to meet this obligation. Furthermore, they have not provided an original signed contract or sufficient evidence to validate the debt, as required under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) 15 U.S.C. 1692g.

Second, Equifax has violated its obligation under FCRA 1681e ( b ), which mandates that credit reporting agencies ensure maximum possible accuracy of consumer credit information. The account contains multiple inconsistencies, including discrepancies in the date of last activity, date opened, and account status. Additionally, Equifax has marked the account as disputed but continues to report derogatory remarks without conducting a proper investigation, as required by FCRA 1681i ( a ). This ongoing failure to investigate and correct inaccurate information is a clear violation of federal law.

Equifax is also in violation of FCRA 1681c ( a ) ( 3 ), which prohibits the inclusion of disputed or unverifiable information in a consumers report. Despite being notified that this account is fraudulent and unverifiable, Equifax continues to report it, further compounding the harm caused to my credit profile. By facilitating XXXX actions, Equifax is enabling a violation of FDCPA 1692e, which prohibits false, deceptive, or misleading representations regarding a debt.

I demand the immediate deletion of this fraudulent account from my credit report. Equifax must cease reporting any information related to this account unless it can be fully validated with an original signed consumer agreement. If Equifax fails to resolve this matter promptly, I reserve my right to seek legal action for damages under the FCRA and FDCPA. This includes pursuing statutory and punitive damages for XXXX continued noncompliance with federal laws designed to protect consumers from fraudulent and inaccurate reporting. 

Equifaxs handling of this account has caused significant harm to my creditworthiness and financial well-being. I expect immediate corrective action to address and resolve this issue. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

They use the credit reporting agency as a court to impose fraudulent charges. The company did not attempt to communicate with me and also lied in emails regarding the charges that I sent to trans union. The amount that circa put on my credit report is also fradulent.
