Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
am filing a formal complaint against Experian regarding the inaccurate reporting of a charged-off account. The account in question, XXXX Account # XXXX, was charged off in XX/XX/year>. Despite this, Experian has repeatedly updated the account as " charged off '' every month since then. This continual update is misleading and inaccurately reflects the payment history of the account. 

A charged-off account should not have an active payment history after it has been charged off. By improperly updating the payment history, Experian is manipulating the statute of limitations, which is misleading and harmful to my credit report. Additionally, I believe Experian has failed to properly investigate this account, which has resulted in the continued reporting of incorrect information. 

This inaccurate reporting has violated my rights, and I am demanding that Experian delete the XXXX account # XXXX from my credit report immediately.
