Consumer complaint received 2023-07-07 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
The three credit reporting agencies ( Experian, XXXX, and XXXX ) have been notified on several occasions since 2018 regarding the falsely reported delinquency listed on my credit report by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX deals in unethical business practices and has, for years, preyed on consumers by finding loopholes to create negative impact factors to sway consumers to them for financing since they are one of few major companies that have high interest products dedicated to poor credit consumers, especially XXXX XXXX  consumers. 
In XXXX, I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX to ask if I could get an extension on my payment and I was told by their representative that since this was my first request, they would defer the XX/XX/2018 payment to the end of my loan and my payment history would not be affected. I was so appreciative because I had an unblemished payment history on my credit report and a steadily climbing credit score. That was until the next month when I received an alert that there was a delinquency from XXXX XXXX XXXX appended to my credit report for missing a payment accompanied by a XXXX point decline in my credit scores. I immediately contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX and asked them to pull the phone records to confirm the specifics of the conversation. I asked them to accept my payment and reverse the delinquency. They refused and have been fighting to keep that recording and the specifics of that conversation private ever since. Not only is this unethical business practices, but it is also credit discrimination in an attempt to reduce my creditworthiness to potential creditors forcing me to do business with XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
Since that date, they have consistently reported this delinquency that they fraudulently created by misrepresenting the specifics of the arrangement which would have never been entered into had I known my payment history would be affected. Logically, if someone says that the payment will be deferred to the end of your loan, technically the payment is not missed ; it's simply added to the end of the loan term. Therefore, I assert that this misreporting has affected my credit report for far too long and I wish to have this missed payment removed and my payment status updated accordingly.

XX/XX/23 I reported an incident of fraud to my bank- Citibank XXXX This incident occurred on XX/XX/23. I was told that I would receive a provisional credit within 2 days, and that an investigation would take place for the next 45 - 90 days. After 2 days, I called back and was told that a provisional credit would be provided within 10 days. At no point was I contacted for additional information. 

XX/XX/23 I received a letter from Citibank saying that they have reviewed their records and verified that my money could not be returned, even though this was a fraudulent transaction, Citibank has the account information for the person who committed the fraud, and I was reassured that an investigation would happen. At no point was I asked for the documentation that I have to prove that this was a fraudulent transaction. 

I desperately need these funds returned in order to continue my business and for an investigation to happen to help prevent this from happening to other people.

3. Receive an extra {$400.00} bonus when you complete both of the above bonuses.

I completed # 1 and # 2 and received the bonuses for both. After completing both I asked why I have not received the extra {$400.00} ( # 3 ) and they mentioned they sent it to my Checking account but it got sent back since they closed my checking account after 60 days of inactivity despite their terms stating as long as you have at least $ XXXX in either a savings or checkings account ( for me it was in my savings ) I wouldn't have to pay a checking account fee. I was not notified my checking account was closed. They have its been almost a month now and I have not received the {$400.00}. I've been in contact with their online secure communications group and they keep mentioning they will get back to me within 5 business days but they never do and its been almost a month.
