Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a complaint to these Bureaus a month ago, yet the erroneous information on my report persists. I have not received any updates from the Bureaus, apart from your notification indicating that the company has addressed my complaint. How can I be assured that they have conducted a thorough investigation into the inaccuracies on my report? What procedures were utilized to verify the accounts? This entire situation is exceedingly frustrating. Over 30 days have passed since I lodged my complaint, and the disputed accounts remain unchanged. If this issue is not resolved, I will be compelled to pursue legal action due to the significant stress it has caused me. Additionally, I am worried about the security of my personal information, which has been compromised by the Equifax, Experian, and XXXX  data breach.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
This formal complaint concerns unauthorized inquiries appearing on my credit report, made without my consent and lacking a permissible purpose under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). These inquiries are negatively impacting my credit profile and do not meet the FCRAs requirements for accessing a consumers credit report without express authorization. 
Details of Disputed Inquiries : The following inquiries are disputed, as verified by the creditors, who confirmed they were conducted without my knowledge or authorization : XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Equifax Legal Basis for Removal : Under the FCRA, specifically Section XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ), access to a credit report is only permissible when explicit consumer consent or a clearly permissible purpose exists. The listed inquiries do not meet these legal requirements. Additionally, under Section XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ) ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ) ), any unverifiable information must be promptly removed from the credit report. 
I have attempted to resolve this matter directly with the credit bureau by submitting a formal dispute letter on XX/XX/XXXX, FTC XXXX. However, I have not received an adequate response or the removal of the unauthorized inquiries, which I believe constitutes noncompliance with FCRA provisions. 
Supporting Case Law for Removal : Legal precedents reinforce the need for removal of unauthorized inquiries in the absence of a permissible purpose. In XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ), the XXXX XXXX ruled that accessing a credit report without explicit consumer consent or a legitimate purpose constitutes a violation of the FCRA. Furthermore, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX Cir. XXXX ) reaffirms that credit bureaus are obligated to remove all inaccurate or unverifiable information.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations. 

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.

Product: Debt collection — Rental debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was already discharged in bankruptcy and is no longer owed
Company: National Credit Systems,Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a collection account reported by National Credit Systems for XXXX XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$2900.00}. I requested full debt validation under the FDCPA, including a signed lease agreement, itemized charges, and proof of assignment. To date, they have failed to provide the required documentation but continue to report this unverifiable debt to the credit bureaus. Additionally, this debt appears to be over XXXX XXXX XXXX with no recent activity and no payment since XX/XX/year>, making the continued reporting misleading and unfairly damaging under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) and 1681s-2.

Furthermore, the inclusion of this collection violates the FCRA if it can not be conclusively verified with original documentation from the original creditor not from the collection agencys internal database or unverifiable records.

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX, and I am submitting this complaint as a natural person on my own behalf. This is regarding repeated failures by all three credit bureaus to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681i and 1681e ( b ). 

For the second month in a row, I have been attempting to resolve multiple inaccuracies on my credit reports and have submitted detailed disputes directly to the bureaus. I have clearly stated in every letter that I am acting on my own behalf and that no third party is involved. I have provided proper supporting documentation, including proof of identity and address, yet the bureaus continue to report that an unauthorized third party is involvedan inaccurate and baseless claim. 

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ), I have the right to receive a description of the reinvestigation procedure used to verify disputed information. This includes : The business name, address, and telephone number of each furnisher of information contacted. 

The name of the individual who verified each dispute. 

The documentation used to validate the disputed information. 

I have requested this information in writing and expected it to be provided within the required XXXX window. To date, I have not received it. 

Disputed items include ( but are not limited to ) : Multiple incorrect previous addresses and employers. 

Several unauthorized inquiries ( e.g., XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

Collection accounts, charge-offs, and late payments that are inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable. 

I have also asked the bureaus to identify the original creditor for each account, provide their address and phone number, and explain what compliance procedures they have in place to ensure maximum possible accuracy as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). 

The bureaus have either failed to provide the requested evidence or have continued to report inaccurate information without correction. If the bureaus can not provide proper verification, they are legally required to delete these items immediately. 

By failing to comply with these requests and by continuing to report false and unverifiable information, the bureaus are in violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o, making them liable for civil damages due to willful and negligent noncompliance.
