State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally demand your agency 's compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) in connection with the ongoing mishandling of my credit file. Despite multiple dispute attempts, you have failed to remove fraudulent accounts that do not belong to me and continue to report unverifiable information. This conduct is in direct violation of federal law and my consumer rights. 
The accounts listed below were opened fraudulently as a result of identity theft. I have submitted several dispute letters requesting their removal, yet you have responded with vague and non-substantive explanations that do not meet the legal standards required under the FCRA.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are legally obligated to perform a meaningful investigation upon receipt of a consumer dispute. Your continued reliance on form responses without providing original validation of the debts in question constitutes noncompliance.

Moreover, 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) mandates that consumer reporting agencies ensure the highest possible level of accuracy in reporting. Your agencys failure to take corrective action demonstrates a reckless disregard of these obligations.

You are hereby given 30 days from the date of this letter to provide the following : 1. Full and original verification documents from the creditors proving the validity of the accounts in questionnot generic responses ; 2. A comprehensive outline of the investigation performed, detailing each step taken ; 3. The names, job titles, and contact details of the individuals responsible for reviewing and responding to my dispute ; 4. Written confirmation that all unverifiable information has been permanently deleted from my credit file pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ).

If you fail to respond adequately within the timeframe stated, I will pursue immediate legal action. This includes filing complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and the California State Attorney General. I will also proceed with litigation under 15 U.S.C. 1681n for willful noncompliance, which allows for the recovery of statutory damages, punitive damages, attorney fees, and costs.

The following accounts are fraudulent, and I have already received confirmation from the relevant banks that they should not be associated with my credit profile. Please review and remove these accounts immediately, and provide supporting verification if you continue to report them : - XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
American Express charged me XXXX in interest on a purchase I made on on XX/XX/XXXX and paid the full statement balance on XX/XX/XXXX, due date was XXXX/XXXX. They did this previously on on XXXX/XXXX when I paid the balance due on the statement XXXX XXXX, next statement had a balance due of XXXX which I did not see as I thought as I had paid in full there would be nothing due. Paid the XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX which is why they say when I paid the statement balance of {$2500.00}, which again I paid in full, they charged me the XXXX in finance charge. This does not make sense to me and they would not waive the fee also. First rep said it was trailing interest over the XXXX being paid a day late. Please help me with this I have my statements also.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
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.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.
