Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NC

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.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally submit a complaint regarding the handling of inaccurate information on my credit report by the credit reporting agencies, despite my repeated efforts in dispute these errors.

This negligence has persisted despite my lawful right, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I5 U.S.C. 1681, to have my credit report reflect only accurate and verifiable information. The FCRA mandates that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of information ( 15 U.S.C.le ( b ) ) and conduct a reasonable investigation of disputes raised by consumers ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ).
