Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
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: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the inaccurate late payment entries and collection accounts reported by TransUnion on my credit report. Despite providing TransUnion with clear and sufficient proof that the payments were made on time, including payment confirmations and account statements, they have failed to remove these erroneous records from my credit report. Additionally, the collection accounts that are inaccurately reported remain unresolved. 

I have made multiple attempts to resolve this issue directly with TransUnion, but the incorrect information remains uncorrected. I respectfully request your assistance in addressing this matter and ensuring that TransUnion updates my credit report to reflect the accurate payment history and removes any erroneous collection accounts. 

Thank you for your attention to this issue.

Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Problem with personal statement of dispute
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, my friend XXXX XXXX, who is living in New Jersey, called me to ask me if I could co-sign an auto loan for a new vehicle. I agreed. I was living in Florida at this moment. The agent at XXXX dealership in New Jersey told me the contract would be for 8 months, and after that, they would refinance the car, so my name will be removed from the contract. He sent me a contract with my mane as the main buyer. I called the agent and said that I could not sign this contract because I'm not the main buyer. He said to me, " Do not sign it, I'm going to send you a new contract with your name, as you want it to appear on the contract. '' A few days later, I received the contract for the amount of {$34000.00}. I signed it as co-buyer and XXXX XXXX as the main buyer. One day, I was looking at my account on the Capital One Auto finance app, I saw my name as the main buyer. I requested a copy of the contract from Capitol one auto finance after explaining to them that I didn't sign as the main buyer. They sent it to me. The signature on the contract wasn't mine because I didn't sign this contract. I let them know that. 

I called them multiple times to fix that problem, and they've never fixed it. And my friend started not being able to pay the car, until they repossessed the car. I was not the one who owned the car and was responsible for paying. Now, Capitol one auto finance messes up my credit, adding delinquency on my credit report, while they have never fixed the problem. 

I filed that complain about Capitol one and the XXXX dealership so they can remove all negative on my credit. And please, request all recorded phone calls from the dealership and Capitol one so you can discoverthetruth.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Formal Dispute of Inaccurate Credit Reporting under FCRA and Consumer Law To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information on my credit report. This dispute is submitted under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which requires credit reporting agencies to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed items.

Recent findings by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) have brought to light significant concerns regarding Experian 's failure to conduct proper investigations.

Specifically, in a lawsuit filed against Experian, the CFPB alleges that the company engaged in sham investigations, violating consumer protection laws by failing to meet its obligations under the FCRA.

As per 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), Experian is required to conduct a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of disputed items within 30 days. Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. $ 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ), any information found to be inaccurate incomnlete or unverifiable must be promptly deleted or corrected. Failure to adhere to these requirements constitutes a violation of federal law.

I hereby request that Experian : Conduct a thorough reinvestigation of the following disputed accounts or items the accounts are XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX & all inquiries. 
Provide me with all documentation used to verify the accuracy of the disputed information. 
Correct or delete any information that can not be verified or is inaccurate, as mandated by law. 
Given the recent CFPB findings, I expect Experian to handle this dispute with the utmost seriousness and compliance with legal standards. A copy of my identification and any relevant supporting documents are enclosed to facilitate your investigation. 
If Experian fails to comply with its obligations under the FCRA, I will not hesitate to escalate this matter to the CFPB and pursue any necessary legal action to protect my rights. 
Please respond to this dispute in writing within the legally mandated timeframe. I expect written confirmation of any changes made to my credit file. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
