Complaint narrative:
I had my credit pulled for house loan application. However the credit score was quite lower than expected especially since I use credit karma to somewhat monitor my credit. I am aware that there are going to be differences, but with XXXX and XXXX ( the ones XXXX uses, the gap was over XXXX points. ) XXXX had my score at XXXX about XXXX, XXXX around XXXX, the credit scores that were received my home finance were XXXX and XXXX respectively. I reviewed the reason for the " low '' score and found the reasons. 
1.derogatory public record or collection. 
I was in the hospital ( XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX ). After not receiving a bill I called and asked. I was informed that bill was payed and no payment due. I was surprised and queried if info was correct. I was assured that no payments are due. About 2 months later I received from a collection agency a notice that I owe about XXXX $ to XXXX. I immediately called XXXX and was told, that there were XXXX accounts for me and that they had made an error. I told them that I have now a collection agency chasing me down for their error. I called the collection service and paid the outstanding amount. That was over 5 years ago and clerical errors have kept my score low!!! 
2.length of time credit has been etablished. 
I have been living for over 20 years in the US. I have had house payments since XX/XX/XXXX, car payments since XX/XX/XXXX, electric, gas, tv, cell phone bills for over 15 years. Credit cards and what have you. How long doe they want me to have credit.?? 99 % of the time I pay my bills on time, that XXXX % I missed the due date which happens to the best of us. 
3.proportion of high credit on bank revolving. 
I have about XXXX $ in outstanding credit card bills, the total max/ credit limit on my cards is way over XXXX {$.00} that means I owe XXXX % of maximum credit limit, how can this be a high revolving proportion of balance. 
4. Recent inquiries. 
In our days nobody has the cash to buy house or car outright. I refinanced my home, to have lower payment and pay credit cards off, and purchased a car, 11 months ago .... I ca n't see how that is a high amount of inquiries. The reporting agencies love for us to open credit cards to see that you pay them and pay on time to show you are responsibly managing your money. But then you get punished for having an inquiry on your record/ score. 
I hope you can help me out and have the situation rectified. These agencies have so much control over ones life, it 's almost criminal. I can see where people have several collections, maxed out credit cards, unpaid bills, inquiring about credit every XXXX weeks that the score is low, but in my case it 's absolutely not the case. 
I appreciate your help!

Complaint narrative:
I fought this medical debt over a emergency XXXX XXXX w/my insurance for 2 years, it is now paid in full by me, but there are several things wrong in the details. 1. This account was NEVER verified EVER with me, I asked for it via dispute XXXX times & received canned response that it was.they claim calling and inquiring about it counts as verification.2.delinquent date is listed as XXXX-XXXX, WHEN I was still in the hosp I was already delinquent? 3. terms are listed as 1 month? there was no terms.4.It lists a high balance for credit limit, being a medical bill there was no credit limit.2.all kinds of extra comments listed,XXXX of the credit agencies even list it as a charge off/repossession, a much worse listing than medical debt.5.All XXXX credit agencies have different dates of first reporting.6. was threatened by XXXX XXXX XXXX after paying the debt that if i contested it further there would be trouble for me, and in fact updated the info on full payment so it now looks like a fresh debt, causing max damage to my scores. 

I would like to know how you can be treated for an unexpected medical bill the same as someone who say runs up a credit card, or defaults on a car note. My other XXXX bills/trade-lines are paid, always are. But because I was sick and needed help that one time I should be punished after the fact, and for 5 more years as well? ( Until 2019 ) In FACT it will cause it to update & cause my score to drop further. Why should a minor medical bill make me unable to have a home loan? How this is fair is not the question, it should be how this is legal is what I want to know. Where is the incentive to get people to pay their bills if they will still be punished regardless of it?

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I went in line to request a free copy of my credit report. I had not done so for a couple of years. I went to Experian XXXX to request the report. XXXX agencies asked that I provide a credit card number and indicated they would charge me {$1.00} for the credit report. I provided the information and agreed to the {$1.00} charge since it was a small sum ( although they should provide the report free of charge ). The next day I was charged {$49.00} by Experian and received and email indicating that I had signed up for their credit monitoring service. On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I was charged {$17.00} by XXXX. I called XXXX agencies to inquire of the charges and they indicated I had signed up for the credit monitoring service. I DID NOT sign up for such service so I told them to cancel immediately and requested they reverse the charges. They refused to reverse the charges but I am disputing them with my credit card company. I believe these agencies engage in deceptive advertising and their web sites are also highly deceptive. Consumers should be warned not to go to their web sites and if they do, be very careful. This is a real " rip-off '' and I suspect there are many consumers who have experienced what I did when I was merely trying to obtain a free credit report which I am entitled to at least XXXX a year.

Complaint narrative:
I 've submitted multiple disputes to Experian in regards to collection accounts that XXXX XXXX XXXX has inserted into my credit report as credit tradelines. I provided documentation to Experian on different occasions and each time the accounts come back verified. I supplied Experian a copy of their own documentation showing how a collection account should be reported and they still have not deleted the inaccurate information. XXXX purchased delinquent charged off credits cards and are now misrepresenting themselves as a Debt buyer and my original creditors which they are not. I have no other option but to file a complaint with the CFPB and the XXXX Carolina Attorney General office. 

These accounts are reporting with payment history whereas there is no provision under the collections segment of a consumer credit file for debt collectors to report payment history profile dates and items. 

These accounts are reporting payment terms as well. Again information that should not be reported by a collection agency. 

A party who purchases a debt that is in default for the sole purpose of collecting the debt is not a creditor, FDCPA 803 ( 4 ). This reporting is frivolous and inaccurate. 

Documentation attached.

Complaint narrative:
I sent a hand written letter to Experian dated XX/XX/2016 requesting verification ( consumer disclosure ) of XXXX of my student loan accounts in which the debts have been re-aged repeatedly for more than a decade. As of XX/XX/2016 there has been no response to my request, and the accounts remain. Numerous missed payments are reported continuously, while the date of first delinquency is approximately fifteen ( 15 ) years ago. 
I had the letter notarized on XX/XX/2016 prior to mailing by an officer at my local bank. Copies of all are enclosed for your review. Relevant pages from my current credit report dated today, XX/XX/2016 are also attached. 
I would like to request that these accounts be deleted so that I will no longer be illegally and unfairly punished by Experian.

Complaint narrative:
There is a discharged Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy that is on my Experian Credit Reports that does not belong to me. I have disputed several times with Experian and they continue to verify. I have inquired to both for the verification information ( how it was verified and who verified it ) and they have failed to supply this to me. After looking up the Bankruptcy ( public information ) that is reporting on my file, it looks like it is someone with a similar name. I have never lived, nor do I know anything about the address that is associated to the Bankruptcy. If they are using other means to verify, I need to be informed so I can show proof that this public record does not belong to me.

Complaint narrative:
In 2007, I was a victim of identity theft. As a result, the IRS charged that I owed them a tax debt, which I disputed. Before we reached a resolution, the IRS reported the tax liens to the XXXX credit bureaus. After several years of disputing the debt with the IRS, and with the help of the IRS Advocacy group, the IRS conceded that I did not owe the debt and removed it from my file. However, they refused to remove it from my credit report, despite multiple calls and visits to the local offices reporting the debt. I 've been trying for years to get the bureaus to remove it, but because its the IRS, they do n't want to do it. I finally called the IRS Advocacy group again and they confirmed that they have no record of the debt because it was removed, since I proved it was n't my debt. They recommended that I get the FTC involved to force the IRS to remove the tax lien history from my credit profile. Currently, there are several tax liens that show " paid/satisfied, '' but that implies that I owed the debt at one time and paid it off, neither of which is true. Because the debt was never mine, any and all record of the tax liens should be stricken from my credit profile. As result of having those liens reported, although showing " satisfied, '' my credit scores are being severely affected and I 'm having to pay much higher interest rates and getting denied from necessary credit. I need your help in having all of the erroneous tax liens appearing on my credit report, both on the Federal and State level, to be removed once and for all.

XXXX/XXXX/16 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Fl XXXX Experian XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX XXXX Account Number Num : Balance {$640.00} Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing in regards account XXXX XXXX XXXX on my credit report. I have filed a complain to the CFPB, that I do not believe I owe what you say I owe and, in accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g, Section 809 ( b ) : Validating Debts : ( b ) If the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period described in subsection ( a ) that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, or that the consumer requests the name and address of the original creditor, the debt collector shall cease collection of the debt, or any disputed portion thereof, until the debt collector obtains verification of the debt or any copy of a judgment, or the name and address of the original creditor, and a copy of such verification or judgment, or name and address of the original creditor, is mailed to the consumer by the debt collector. 
I must remind you that in my previous letter I requested the following information : ( 1 ) The amount of the debt ; ( 2 ) The name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed ; ( 3 ) Provide a verification or copy of any judgment ( if applicable ) ; ( 4 ) Proof that you are licensed to collect debts in ( insert name of your state ) ( 5 ) Provide the actual Bills Statements ( 6 ) Payment Receive I also requested that if you have reported me to any credit reporting agency, that you inform them that I have placed this debt in dispute and to provide me with proof that you have done so. Furthermore, I asked that you immediately send a copy of that dispute letter to the company ( creditor ) that you say I owe money so they are also aware of my dispute with this debt. 
As of today, you have failed to respond to my requests! For your convenience, I have included a copy of my previous letter and a copy of the mail receipt showing that you received my letter on { insert date from mail receipt }. 
Since you have failed to respond I assume that you have been unable to validate the debt and therefore, I consider this matter closed. You may consider this letter your official notification that I do not intend to correspond with you on this matter again unless you comply with my requests, the FDCPA and the FCRA. 

I must remind you that any attempt to collect this debt without validating it, violates the FDCPA and that I am recording all phone calls and keeping all correspondence concerning this matter. Be advised that I will not hesitate to report violations of the law to my State Attorney General, the Federal Trade Commission and the national XXXX. 

XXXX XXXX
