Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Experian for failing to conduct a reasonable investigation and comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). On On XXXX XXXX XXXX I sent Experian a certified dispute letter with all supporting documentation, which was received and signed for on XXXX XXXX XXXX In my certified dispute, I challenged the accuracy and validity of the following accounts, which are inaccurate, unverifiable, or do not belong to me : XXXX XXXX Account #  XXXX XXXX XXXX Account # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account # XXXX I enclosed all required documents, including : Government-issued ID ( ID & SS card ) Proof of address ( utility bill ) A written letter explaining my dispute in detail Experian later sent me a generic email stating that my documents were insufficient, but did not specify what was missing or how they reached that determination. Their response ignored the fact that I had already submitted all required documentation. No formal investigation results, verification, or removal of the accounts occurred. 

Additionally, Experian failed to update the original CFPB portal with their response, which falsely shows they are still working on my case. This lack of transparency is concerning and misleading. 

This is a willful violation of FCRA Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ). Experian has failed to : Conduct a proper investigation Provide a description of the investigation process Identify who verified the information Notify me of the results within the required timeframe The continued reporting of these inaccurate accounts has caused me : Emotional distress ( anxiety, stress, and sleep loss ) Denials for credit and housing Excessively high interest rates due to inaccurate credit data

I do not recognize the aforementioned accounts, collections, or hard inquiries as reported.

All of the aforementioned accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
Experian is reporting the same XXXX XXXX collection account ( account number XXXX ) with a balance of {$1400.00}. This reporting lacks verified evidence of the origin of the debt, and no formal validation has ever been provided to confirm its accuracy. Pursuant to 15 USC 1681i ( a ), Experian has an obligation to reinvestigate disputed information and delete or correct inaccurate or unverifiable data. Yet this account has remained unchanged on my report despite multiple disputes. Additionally, the manner and timing of its placement raises concerns of improper furnishing of data by the collector, especially when tied to what appears to be compromised personal information from a potential data breach.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX AND XXXX XXXX  was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment reported in to be removed. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments 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. XXXX AND XXXX XXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: FAIR COLLECTIONS & OUTSOURCING, INC.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing the accuracy of a collection account being reported by Fair Collections and Outsourcing ( FCO ). The account lists FCO as both the original creditor and the collection agency, which is factually inaccurate and misleading. FCO is a third-party debt collector and should not be listed as the original creditor. This violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires credit data to be accurate and clearly identify the source of debt.

Additionally, the account has been open since 2020 and remains open on my report despite no new activity. The account is also still marked as disputed by consumer multiple times, even though I previously submitted disputes that should have been resolved. These notations may be artificially suppressing my credit score.

I have attempted to resolve this issue through the credit bureaus, but it continues to report inaccurately. The reporting is incomplete, misleading, and unverifiable, and it is negatively impacting my ability to obtain financing.

I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about!
