Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern, After recently obtaining my credit report, I have reason to believe that there are inaccuracies being furnished on my credit report. XXXX has found that 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. 

Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit and other information on consumers. There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. 

According to 15 USC 1681e ( b ) Compliance procedures accuracy of report ; ( b ) Accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. 

Reasonable procedures have not been followed by the credit reporting agencies ( Experian, XXXX, and XXXX ) and any third party affiliates ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) because there are inaccurate late payments being furnished on my credit report. 
This is backed by 15 USC 1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) Exclusion. 
Except as provided in paragraph ( 3 ), the term consumer report does not include ( A ) subject to section 1681s-3 of this title, any ( i ) report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. If a payment or a late payment is a transaction, it has no business being furnished on my credit report because XXXX does NOT allow it, regardless of any company policy. A Transaction includes cash withdrawals or deposits, checks, online payments, debit card charges, wire transfers and loan payments .This will also include any transaction balances being furnished on my report. 

Also, under 15 USC 1666b- Timing of payments ; ( a ) A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 

To ensure that maximum accuracy is maintained on my consumer report, the reporting inaccuracies shall be removed from my consumer report immediately.

Complaint narrative:
While I understand the sequence of events in the last 4-5 months, what is still unclear is how this charge was ever approved. I had frozen my account long before this, and without my approval or initiation it was no longer frozen. That is why this charge was applied to my card and was the root cause of this issue. I don't agree that the charge went through because it was a recurring payment, I had no issues with the charge being blocked for practically the entirety of 2023. It was not until my card was unfrozen without my authorization, that the charges occurred again.
