Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

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. ''

XX/XX/year> Re : American Express Credit Cards, I am a XXXX XXXX XXXX, semi-retired XXXX. I have carried an American Express card for some 41 years. I have always been loyal to the brand throughout that time and had an exemplary record of payments and interactions. I felt that American Express 'Had my back ' throughout that time. Yesterday I received an email notice from Amex that my account had been CANCELED. I have always made payments on time and significantly higher than required. To my knowledge, there were no issues that could have prompted this action. I feel betrayed. I feel that American Express has no regard for my loyalty, and further, has no respect for my age ( XXXX ). I spent more than 4 hours on the phone and on hold only to be disconnected when required 'team ' member picked up. When I called back, I was told that I would have to be re-connected to the 'special team ' for resolution but that their 'system ' was down and it would be another extended wait. I opted to use online chat and asked to be connected to the relevant " team ''. I was told to call back. In late XXXX of this year, I was notified by American Express, that another fraudulent payment had posted to my account, for {$9000.00}. I immediately chatted with Amex rep, since it was after hours, and was told to call back in the morning, which I did. After spending several hours on the phone with no less than 6 employees, I was told that the issue would be investigated and resolved. I intend to pursue these unexpected and unreasonable action on the part of American Express in any manner possible including social networks, government agencies, and potential legal actions of age discrimination. Your prompt and diligent effort are appreciated. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX CFPB, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX
