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

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this formal dispute regarding the inaccurate and/or unverifiable information reported by Experian on my credit file. According to 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ), 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ), and 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ), Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Grounds for My Dispute : Failure to Conduct a Proper Investigation ( 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ) Under the FCRA, Experian is required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information within 30 days ( or 45 days under certain conditions ). However, my previous dispute was not handled in compliance with this requirement, as Experian either failed to conduct a meaningful investigation or provided a generic, non-substantive response without verifying the accuracy of the reported information. 
Failure to Provide Proper Notice of Investigation Results ( 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) ) Experian is obligated to clearly provide the basis and results of their reinvestigation if a disputed item is verified. Instead, the response I received failed to include proper documentation proving the accuracy of the disputed information. If Experian relied solely on information from the original furnisher without independent verification, this constitutes noncompliance with the FCRA. 
Failure to Remove or Correct Inaccurate Information ( 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ) ) If Experian was unable to verify the disputed item, it is required to delete or modify the information within the legally mandated timeframe. However, despite a lack of verifiable evidence, Experian has continued to report inaccurate information, directly violating this statute.

Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

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: PA

Complaint narrative:
I had an XXXX credit card that I closed in XX/XX/XXXX, and the account was paid in full. However, a 30-day late payment from XX/XX/XXXX is still being reported, negatively impacting my credit score. 
I disputed this late payment with Experian, but XXXX refused to remove it. I also contacted XXXX directly to request a goodwill adjustment, since the late payment is nearly four years old and the account is closed. However, XXXX stated they do not grant goodwill removals under any circumstances. 
Violations & Consumer Rights : Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 611 ( a ), XXXX must provide a reasonable investigation into the dispute. I am requesting documented proof of their verification process. If XXXX can not verify the late payment with actual records, they are legally required to remove it. 
The FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 3 ) states that a furnisher of information must not report inaccurate or unverifiable information. If XXXX is unable to prove the accuracy of this late payment, continued reporting is a violation of federal law. 
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has issued warnings against creditors refusing to consider legitimate goodwill adjustments, as this prevents consumers from having a fair opportunity to correct outdated or minor infractions. 
XXXX refusal to grant goodwill adjustments under any circumstances suggests an unfair policy that does not allow consumers any remedy for old, paid accounts. This is especially concerning since the late payment is nearly four years old, and XXXX is still reporting it despite my account being closed for over a year. 
I demand that XXXX : Provide proof of verification ( including a copy of their records confirming the delinquency and their verification process ). 
Remove the late payment if they can not legally verify it. 
Cease reporting outdated negative information that does not reflect my current credit habits. 
If XXXX fails to comply, I will escalate this matter with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) and my state Attorney Generals office for further investigation into potential FCRA violations.

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.
