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: NV

Complaint narrative:
Over the course of several complaints, I have provided clear evidence that the account in question, originally issued by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) and later sold to XXXX XXXX XXXX, was fraudulent and has since been deleted. Despite this, XXXXXXXX XXXX  has continued to falsely certify the account as legitimate, misrepresenting the facts to both the credit bureaus and myself. 

XXXXXXXX XXXX knew that XXXX held the account, as they directed me to XXXX XXXX XXXX in their response, showing they were fully aware they no longer held the account. Despite this, XXXX Bank failed to confirm that XXXX had deleted the account, and instead continued to misrepresent the accounts legitimacy. This shows clear malicious intent on XXXX part, misleading the credit bureaus and allowing them to report fraudulent information. 

While the credit bureaus relied on XXXXXXXX XXXX false certifications, the responsibility now lies with them to correct the fraudulent reporting. Allys dishonesty has been exposed, and continuing to rely on their certifications will place the credit bureaus at serious legal and regulatory risk.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX occasions, I asked Experian to remove an incorrect New York residence address be from my account. These requests were made to Experian on XX/XX/year> and again on XX/XX/year>. Following the first request, Experian responded by stating that this incorrect address was provided to it by a reporting company and would not remove it. 

I made the same request to XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX responded by stating it can not update my personal records with Experian. 

On the last occasion, XX/XX/XXXX, I provided an affidavit confirming that I do not reside and have not resided at this address. This was mailed to Experian and also a reporting company, XXXX XXXX XXXX on the same date. No response has been received. 

They are pointing to one another. This would be otherwise humourous but it is not.

Would you please intervene to resolve this issue. I expect that the same issue may exist with other credit reporting companies. Would you please insure that they each take similar remedial action.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Dispute of Inaccurate Bankruptcy Reporting and Notice of Aggravated Identity Theft Dear Experian Dispute Department, I am writing to formally dispute an inaccurate bankruptcy record currently being reported on my credit report under my name, XXXX XXXX, and dated XX/XX/year>. 
Pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681b, the consumer reporting agency is permitted to furnish a consumer report only for permissible purposes. As outlined under subsection ( a ) ( 3 ) ( A ), my report may only be used in connection with a valid credit transaction involving me as a consumer or in response to my explicit written authorization. I have never provided consent or engaged in any credit transaction that would validate the inclusion of this bankruptcy on my report.

Moreover, this bankruptcy entry has been reported without my permission, which constitutes aggravated identity theft under federal law. Reporting inaccurate and unauthorized information on my credit report is a violation of Section 605B of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Therefore, I request that this bankruptcy entry be removed from my credit report immediately, as it does not pertain to me and was reported without permissible purpose or my authorization.

I demand that this item be removed within 4 days of receiving this dispute, as required by the FCRA when dealing with cases involving identity theft.

In support of my dispute, I have attached the following documents : A copy of my credit report highlighting the incorrect bankruptcy entry.

A copy of my identity theft report ( submitted previously ).

A copy of my government-issued ID and proof of address.

A copy of the " verified '' results from disputing. In the notes the Experian representative notated the item was not reporting on my credit report but it is which also makes this aggravated identity theft.

Please confirm in writing that this action has been completed. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution of this matter. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
Dear XXXX, XXXX. Customer Service, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to request a goodwill adjustment regarding my account with XXXX, XXXX. I have been a customer for [ duration of your relationship with the company ], and I have always valued the services provided. 

Unfortunately, I recently faced some significant hardships, including job loss, which impacted my financial stability. During this challenging period, I fell behind on my payments.

I have since secured a new job and am committed to managing my finances more responsibly moving forward. Adjusting my account status would not only ease my current financial burden but also help in improving my credit score as I work to regain my financial footing.

I appreciate your understanding and consideration of my situation. Thank you for your time, and I hope to hear from you soon. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
