Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Exeter Finance, LLC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint regarding an auto loan account ( XXXX ) that continues to be reported negatively on my credit report, even though the vehicle was stolen. I reported the theft to law enforcement and notified the lender, yet the account was charged off and is now damaging my credit. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 602 ( a ), 607 ( b ), and 611, credit information must be accurate, complete, and verifiable. This account does not reflect the full context of the situation and is misleading. I did not voluntarily default or abandon the vehicle it was stolen beyond my control. The lender has not provided any documentation that justifies continuing to report this as a charge-off.

Furthermore, if a third-party debt collector is now involved, this may also violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), particularly sections related to the misrepresentation of a debt and failure to investigate disputes.

b'Im writing to file a formal complaint about inaccurate and reappearing accounts on my EQUIFAX credit report. The account from XXXX XXXX XXXX (Account Number: XXXX), originally opened on XXXX XXXX XXXX, is showing again after it was supposedly corrected earlier this year. It now shows as open, with 30-, 60-, and 90-day late payments, and even lists a balloon payment due in XXXX XXXX I was never notified that this account would be reinserted, which is a clear violation of FCRA  611(a)(5)(B). This reappearance without prior written notice or proper documentation has harmed my credit profile and caused me unnecessary distress.\n\nAdditionally, two XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX)had previously been deleted but are now being reported again as charge-offs. Both of these accounts were paid in settlement, with XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX written off respectively. Their reappearance is misleading and violates FCRA  623(a), which requires data furnishers to report accurate and complete information. Reporting accounts that were settled and removed without validating their status, or notifying me of any reinsertion, is both misleading and unfair.'

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing several inaccuracies currently appearing on my credit report, specifically unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate or approve. These entries represent a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly 15 U.S. Code 1681i, which requires a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates that information reported must be accurate to the maximum extent possible. In addition, I am disputing a potentially misreported late payment. According to 15 U.S.C. 1666b, creditors must allow at least 21 days between the statement date and the payment due date before classifying a payment as late. Based on my records, this standard may not have been met, or the payment was submitted on time and inaccurately reported as delinquent.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations. 

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.
