On monday XX/XX/XXXX my employer in Oregon purchased an American express gift card for {$250.00} for my anniversary. I received it in Washington on XX/XX/XXXX and on the XXXX I activated the card on the the website. It showed activated for the amount of {$250.00}. Later that day I went grocery shopping and my purchase total was {$220.00}. I swiped the card and it declined. Tried again and it declined. I was at self chrck out so the cashier told me to try up front with her. It declined again. I checked online and it showed my gift card being declined. I called customer service and was told that because I tried so many times it was flagged as fraud. This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. How are you supposed to use it if it's going to get marked as fraud it's a gift card she also told me it was suspicious because it was bought in Oregon and used in Washington. Again this is a gift card. I had to file a claim and it has to be reviewed then I MIGHT get a replacement gift card. I want to be able to use my {$250.00} that my employer paid for. What if the next card does the same thing this is not right.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, am filing this complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) against Experian Credit Bureau due to their repeated violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) in relation to their failure to delete fraudulent accounts and inaccurate personal information on my credit report, as well as their disregard for identity theft protections and response requirements.

Despite two formal communications dated XX/XX/year>, and XX/XX/year>, Experian has not complied with the law by failing to remove fraudulent accounts, incorrect addresses, and name variations from my credit report. I am the direct, sole correspondent regarding these disputes ; no third party represents me in this matter.

Applicable FCRA Sections Violated : FCRA Section 605C ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ( a ) ) Mandates that fraudulent information resulting from identity theft be blocked and deleted within four ( 4 ) business days of receipt of proper documentation. Experian has exceeded this statutory timeframe, leaving fraudulent accounts active despite my repeated requests and all required documentation.

FCRA Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) Requires that consumer reporting agencies conduct a reasonable investigation and notify the consumer of the results within 30 days. Although Experian claims to have approved deletions as of XX/XX/year>, the fraudulent items remain on my report, indicating a failure to complete this process within the timeframe.

FCRA Section 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) Limits the furnishing of consumer reports to entities with explicit consumer authorization. I have never authorized any of the listed fraudulent accounts, and Experians reporting of unauthorized accounts violates this section.

18 U.S.C. 1028A Provides federal protections against identity theft. Experians failure to remove the fraudulent accounts after being notified of identity theft disregards these protections and perpetuates harm to my identity and financial reputation.

Details of Non-Compliance : On XX/XX/year>, I spoke with an Experian representative who confirmed that my dispute had been approved and that deletions were forthcoming. However, despite this acknowledgment, all disputed items remain on my credit report, which is a serious breach of my consumer rights under the FCRA.

Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified accounts listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct.

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verified that these accounts are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly CORRECT or DELETE all information which can not be verified.

Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non-complying with the FCRA.

Since you claim youve verified the accounts listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the banks directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof. So, my question comes up again, WHO VERIFIED THIS ACCOUNT? I believe you have not verified these accounts based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy. 

Please CORRECT the account, or inaccurate information, from my file immediately XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
