Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I recently pulled my credit report and saw late-payment codes on my federal student-loan account with XXXX XXXX. These entries show XXXX late payments on XX/XX/year>- XX/XX/year>, even though my loan was in an authorized deferment/forbearance or under a CARES-Act payment suspension at the time. Under Department of Education regulations, lenders can not report a payment as late during deferment or forbearance. The CFPB has also explained that if a borrower receives a XXXX accommodation, the servicer must report the account as current and can not show it as more delinquent. Reporting me as late violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

Furnishers must not report information they know or have reason to believe is inaccurate. Credit bureaus must reinvestigate disputes and delete unverifiable or inaccurate information within XXXXdays. Reporting my account as late during a deferment/CARES Act suspension misrepresents the legal status of the debt and violates FDCPA 807l. I sent certified dispute letters to [ Bureaus ] demanding deletion, but they either failed to respond or verified the late payments without providing documentation.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
A collection account is being reported on my credit file that has not been properly validated. I exercised my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) by requesting validation of the alleged debt. The furnisher failed to provide any legitimate documentation proving that the debt is mine, that the amount is accurate, or that they have the legal authority to collect it. 
Despite the lack of verification, this account continues to appear on my credit report, which constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requiring only accurate and verifiable information to be reported. The continued reporting of an unvalidated account is inaccurate and misleading.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the late payment entries on my credit report. Despite multiple attempts to have these errors reviewed and corrected, no meaningful action has been taken. I have submitted all necessary documentation and followed up repeatedly, yet the inaccuracies remain unresolved. 
These ongoing issues have caused financial hardship and negatively impacted both my credit and overall well-being. The process of addressing these errors has been frustrating and emotionally taxing. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to a credit report that accurately reflects my financial history, including the correction or removal of outdated, incorrect, or unverifiable information. I am therefore requesting that your office take immediate action to update or remove the disputed late payment entries.

Company: Early Warning Services, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I hope this message finds you well. I have been residing outside the country for the past few years, and upon my return, I applied for credit and debit cards. Unfortunately, my applications were declined due to insufficient information on my credit report. 
Upon further investigation, I suspect that inaccurate information on my report may be the result of identity theft. After researching, I found that Early Warning provides data to financial institutions and reached out to them to dispute the fraudulent information and request an update with the correct details. However, Early Warning has refused to remove the fraudulent data or update my report with accurate information, despite my providing valid supporting documents. I believe Early Warning is in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681C-2 ), which mandates that consumer reporting agencies block the reporting of any information resulting from identity theft no later than 4 business days after receiving notice. They are also required to update my information to reflect accurate and current details. I kindly request your assistance in addressing this matter so I can resolve the inaccuracies in my report and proceed with my credit applications. 
Thank you for your attention to this issue. I look forward to your assistance in ensuring my rights are upheld.
