Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
What happened : On multiple occasions, I disputed inaccurate and erroneous information on my credit report with Experian, but they failed to properly investigate and address my disputes. Despite providing supporting documentation, Experian conducted what appeared to be " sham investigations '' and either verified the false information without proper validation or failed to respond altogether.

Additionally, I experienced instances where previously disputed and removed inaccurate items were reinserted into my credit file without any notification, violating my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Each time I submitted disputes, Experian either ignored my supporting documents, provided automated responses without meaningful investigation, or reinserted false information without notice.

As a result of Experian 's failures, my

credit score was negatively impacted, causing me to be denied credit and face higher interest rates. These errors also jeopardized my ability to secure housing and employment opportunities. I am filing this complaint in light of the CFPB 's lawsuit against Experian, which directly reflects my experience. I request that the CFPB intervene to ensure that all inaccurate and unverifiable items on my credit report are permanently deleted and that Experian complies with its obligations under the FCRA.

Complaint narrative:
I previously sent a letter to the Bureaus regarding the inaccuracies and unknown entries on my credit report, but sadly, I haven't received a response even after XXXX  days. It feels like my concerns are being overlooked, and I'm not being treated fairly. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these issues aren't investigated within XXXX  days, they should be removed from my credit report without delay. Since that time has passed, I expect these accounts to be updated right away. If this doesn't happen, I may have to consider legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Moreover, my information was compromised in the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which adds to my worries about the safety of my personal data.

Complaint narrative:
The late payment remark on my credit report is negatively impacting my XXXX score, and I am requesting its removal to ensure my credit profile accurately reflects my financial responsibility. Payment history accounts for approximately XXXX  % of my XXXX score, making it the most significant factor in credit scoring. A single late payment can cause a substantial drop in my score, especially if I previously had a strong payment record. 

This inaccurate late payment is unfairly lowering my creditworthiness and affecting my ability to secure financial opportunities, such as obtaining a loan or favorable interest rates. Additionally, lenders and financial institutions rely on XXXX  scores to assess risk, and this incorrect remark could result in higher borrowing costs or even denials of credit applications. 

I am formally disputing this error under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which grants me the right to challenge inaccurate or unverifiable information on my credit report. If the late payment can not be verified or is incorrect, it must be removed. Furthermore, I am requesting a goodwill adjustment from the creditor, as I have a history of responsible financial management, and this late payment does not accurately represent my reliability.

Complaint narrative:
I have a Best Buy credit card that I only use for large purchases at Best Buy which I typically pay using auto-pay. Recently, I checked my account online to pay the remaining balance and noticed that the balance didn't align with the payments I had made and found out that I was being charged a monthly fee for an Enhanced Debt Protection plan that I was not aware of and didn't sign up for. I called their customer service and they told me I had agreed to it in XXXX when I got the credit card but the sales representative who encouraged me to get the card never mentioned that when I got the credit card at the store which is a very deceiving practice - they need to provide all the information in order for me to make a decision. I started being charged a fee of around {$50.00} each month starting XX/XX/XXXX when I made a large purchase at Best Buy. Once again, no one at the store informed me that by making the purchase I was going to be subject to a Enhanced Debt Protection fee. This is a deceiving practice from Best Buy and I feel taken advantage of. I read online that many other people have encountered the same problem. They charged me about {$1100.00} in fees since then for a service I don't need and I would have never purchased or agreed to pay for as I have other XXXX and protection services through my employer. I contacted their customer service twice and asked for a refund given that I was never asked if I wanted this service but they let me know they will not refund the money and that their decision is final.

State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the presence of fraudulent information on my credit report, in accordance with 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, and to request the immediate blocking and removal of this information. Enclosed with this letter is a copy of my police report, along with the identity theft report filed with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC REPORT NUMBER : XXXX ) as supporting evidence of my identity theft claim. 

Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, when a consumer submits an identity theft report, credit reporting agencies are required to block any information identified by the consumer as fraudulent within four ( 4 ) business days. 

The following information on my credit report is the result of identity theft and must be blocked and removed immediately : XXXX XXXX XXXX Additional Legal Basis : Violation of Section 1681b of the FCRA Additionally, 15 U.S.C. 1681b establishes the permissible purposes under which a credit bureau may provide a credit report to third parties. This law clearly states that a credit bureau may only furnish a consumer report under specific circumstances, one of which includes obtaining the consumers express written consent. 

As I never provided written or express consent for the inclusion or reporting of the fraudulent information in question, there is no valid legal basis for this information to remain on my credit file. 

Requested Actions Immediate blocking and removal of the fraudulent account listed above.

Written confirmation of the removal of the fraudulent information.

Assurance that the deleted information will not be reinserted into my credit report in the future.

Several times, I have contacted the credit bureau reporting this fraudulent account on my report, yet CREDIT BUREAU has failed to provide a solution to this issue. This situation has significantly affected me, preventing me from acquiring a new home for my children. Furthermore, this account has already been deleted and not verified by other bureaus, which raises concerns as to why it remains on my report. 

I have requested contracts from the company in question containing my information, yet after more than 60 days, I have not received any response. Please help me delete this account immediately. I am once again attaching the FTC report in the hope that you will make a fair decision regarding my case. 

I appreciate your prompt response and resolution to this matter. I expect a reply within the legally required timeframe.
