Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Several accounts on my credit report are being reported inaccurately and without proper verification, which has negatively impacted my credit profile. For example, charge-off accounts and collections from multiple creditors were listed with conflicting balances and dates across the three bureaus, including entries that do not belong to me. Some of these accounts show late payments and defaults without any supporting documentation or proof of a signed agreement. Additionally, collection agencies are reporting debts that they have failed to validate under the law, and some accounts appear to be obsolete and should no longer be reported. Since discovering these errors, I have disputed the accounts, but the inaccurate reporting has continued. These mistakes create a misleading credit history and place me at an unfair disadvantage, despite my efforts to correct them.

Complaint narrative:
I am a victim of identity theft connected to the Equifax data breach. My personal information, including my SSN and date of birth, was exposed and used to open fraudulent accounts in my name. I filed an official identity theft report through XXXX ( FTC ), Report Number : XXXX, and sent copies to Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX  along with proof of identity and a written dispute for each fraudulent account. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, the credit reporting agencies are required to block and remove fraudulent information within XXXX ( XXXX ) business days of receiving an identity theft report. Despite meeting all requirements, the agencies have failed to remove all negative and fraudulent items. 

Their refusal to delete these items is damaging my creditworthiness, causing financial harm, and violates federal law. 

I am demanding that the CFPB enforce the FCRA requirements and ensure that Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion : 1. Immediately delete all negative items from my credit files associated with the data breach and identity theft.

2. Provide me with updated copies of my credit reports showing full removal of the disputed items.

3. Investigate and take regulatory enforcement action for willful non-compliance with federal law.

Inaccurate accounts on my credit reports that need to be immediately deleted.

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.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint regarding inaccurate and outdated credit reporting by Experian involving a Capital One account ( ending in XXXX ). 

On XX/XX/XXXX, Capital One approved a formal settlement plan for {$570.00} ( reduced from the original balance of {$1000.00} ). Payments were structured through XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), and I consistently met every installment. On XX/XX/XXXX, I completed the payment plan early by paying the final XXXX installments in advance. 

Despite this, Experian continues to report a balance of {$500.00}, which is factually incorrect and damaging to my credit file. I submitted multiple disputes to XXXX, providing : - Capital Ones official settlement offer - A full transaction report from XXXX XXXX XXXX showing all payments cleared - Proof that the final balance was fully paid on XX/XX/XXXX The account should be reported as Paid Settled for Less than Full Balance with a {$0.00} balance. XXXX  has refused to update or correct this account despite multiple formal disputes and full supporting documentation. This is a clear violation of my rights under 15 U.S.C. 1681i of the FCRA. 

I respectfully request the CFPB to require Experian to : - Conduct a proper reinvestigation with the creditor - Correct the inaccurate balance and status - Issue written confirmation of the updated report This error is directly affecting my ability to qualify for FHA home financing and must be resolved immediately.
