XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX DC XXXX Re : Formal Complaint Regarding Repeated Violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Against Experian Information Solutions , Inc . Multiple Complaint IDs Listed Below To Whom It May Concern : I am writing to formally express my ongoing and serious concerns regarding the repeated and willful violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by Experian Information Solutions , Inc., despite numerous attempts to resolve these issues directly with the agency through multiple disputes and complaints. \n\nSince XX/XX/XXXX, I have submitted multiple complaints through the Consumer Response Portal ( CRP ), providing ample time for investigation in accordance with the law. However, the investigation outcomes reported by Experian are demonstrably inadequate. When I compared my most recent credit reports with those from previous months, I found either no corrections were made or the modifications that were made remain incorrect. This pattern has persisted for months, demonstrating a blatant disregard for the FCRA and related regulations. \n\nSpecifically, I believe Experian Information Solutions XXXX XXXX has violated the following sections of the United States Code ( XXXX XXXX ) : - XXXX XXXX XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ) ( A ) Requirement for reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information - XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) Notice of dispute to furnishers - XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) Duty to correct or delete inaccurate or unverifiable information - XXXX XXXX XXXX ( b ) Duty to ensure maximum possible accuracy of information in consumer reports- XXXX XXXX XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ) ( B ) Duties of furnishers to investigate and report accurate information - XXXX XXXX XXXX Responsibility for correcting and updating information Below is the complete list of all complaints I have submitted to Experian through the CFPB portal, including Complaint IDs, dates submitted, and the product/issue raised in each complaint.

Additionally, I request confirmation that the CFPB will hold Experian accountable for these violations and require corrective action to ensure full compliance with federal law. \n\nPlease do not hesitate to contact me if any additional information is needed.

At the time of filing, I held a XXXX  card w/ a XXXX-dollar balance, and my wife held a XXXX  card that wasn't even activated yet. This is the only XXXX  card we've ever had, and have not had one since then. Neither card was included in the creditor 's matrix in the CHXXXX discharge petition - AND THERE WAS NOTHING TO DISCHARGE. \n\nIn XXXX of XXXX I discovered that incorrect information was on my experian credit report regarding the status of this account. The status was incorrectly listed as \" Discharged in Chapter XXXX ''. THERE WAS NOTHING TO DISCHARGE and it WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE CHXXXX CREDITORS MATRIX. I contacted XXXX  's bankruptcy dept, and they agreed that the the status was indeed INCORRECT. They stated it should be showing a status of \" Closed by credit grantor ''. They then sent out a credit bureau update reflecting that change - the actual, factual, true status of the account.\n\n90+ days later in early XXXX, I re-applied for a new XXXX  card. And, I was denied AGAIN, due to \" status of existing or prior XXXX  card account ''. Viewing my experian report, I saw that once again the status was incorrectly listed as \" Discharged in Chapter XXXX ''. THERE WAS NOTHING TO DISCHARGE and it WASN'T INCLUDED THE CHXXXX CREDITORS MATRIX. After contacting the XXXX  bankruptcy dept again about this, they sent out another credit bureau update to reflect the actual, factual, true status of the account. \n\nOn XX/XX/XXXX, my dispute results with experian came in - and the result was, NO CHANGE in the XXXX  account status. \n\nOn XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX in the XXXX  bankruptcy dept confirmed that another credit bureau update had been sent out reflecting the actual, factual, true status of \" Closed by credit grantor '' directly to experian by their credit bureau reporting team 's supervisor. On XX/XX/XXXX, Mr. XXXX confirmed the same update was also sent to experian to correct the status of my wife 's XXXX  account, which was suffering from the same problem. \n\nOn XX/XX/XXXX ( 90+ days later ), I re-applied for a XXXX  card. And, I was denied AGAIN, due to \" status of existing or prior XXXX  card account ''. Viewing my experian report, I saw that once AGAIN the status was incorrectly listed as \" Discharged in Chapter XXXX ''. THERE WAS NOTHING TO DISCHARGE and it WASN'T INCLUDED THE CHXXXX CREDITORS MATRIX. \n\nMy wife XXXX also attempted to get a new XXXX  card - but was denied AGAIN, due to \" status of existing or prior XXXX  card account ''. Viewing her experian report, I saw that once AGAIN the status was incorrectly listed as \" Discharged in Chapter XXXX ''. THERE WAS NOTHING TO DISCHARGE and it WASN'T INCLUDED THE CHXXXX CREDITORS MATRIX. The card WASN'T EVEN ACTIVATED. \n\nOn XX/XX/XXXX, I opened a complaint with the CFPB about XXXX. \n\nOn XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX  completed their investigation into my complaint : \" Our records confirm we are reporting your account as closed, which is a factual representation of what occured. However, we have confirmed that your account is reporting as \" included in bankruptcy '' on your experian credit report '' On XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke with XXXX in experian 's dispute department to discuss the dispute and XXXX 's CFPB complaint response. I was informed that the last update to the XXXX  account status was from XX/XX/XXXX! The reason given for the persistence of this incorrect information is that my dispute wasn't done \" correctly ''. I needed to open it as an \" external '' dispute - this means Experian contacts XXXX to get updated account information. XXXX then went ahead and opened an external dispute for me. \n\nAt the end of XXXX I called experian 's dispute department back and had the same external dispute opened on behalf of my wife XXXX, who had been denied a new XXXX  card AGAIN, due to \" status of existing or prior XXXX  card account ''. Viewing her experian report, I saw that once AGAIN the status was incorrectly listed as \" Discharged in Chapter XXXX ''. THERE WAS NOTHING TO DISCHARGE and it WASN'T INCLUDED THE CHXXXX CREDITORS MATRIX. The card WASN'T EVEN ACTIVATED. \n\n\nOn XX/XX/XXXX I received the dispute results from experian. And they were : NO CHANGE in the XXXX  account status. Proving that dealing with them as a person was what I suspected all along : a giant waste of my time. \n\nAt this time ( XX/XX/XXXX ), XXXX is blaming experian. XXXX claims they are showing the correct, true, actual, and factual status of the account- and that this issue is on experian 's end. \n\nI have tried, multiple times via the internet self-service and their dispute department 's phone line, to correct this with experian. My patience has run out, as this has dragged on for a year now. This problem is preventing my wife an I from obtaining a new credit card with XXXX  and rebuilding our credit, as well as displaying a flat out LIE on our credit report for whoever pulls it to see and make an incorrect judgement on. Before involving attorneys, I thought I'd give experian one last chance via the CFPB complaint process to get it together.","date_sent_to_company":"2021-09-16T16:04:53.000Z","issue":"Incorrect information on your report","sub_product":"Credit reporting","zip_code":"78046","tags":null,"has_narrative":true,"complaint_id":"4725964","timely":"Yes","company_response":"Closed with non-monetary relief","submitted_via":"Web","company":"Experian Information Solutions Inc.","date_received":"2021-09-16T15:12:50.000Z","state":"TX","company_public_response":"Company has responded to the consumer and the CFPB and chooses not to provide a public response","sub_issue":"Account status incorrect"},"highlight":{"complaint_what_happened":["I needed to open it as an \" external '' <em>dispute</em> - this means <em>Experian</em> contacts XXXX to get updated <em>account</em> information.

THIS COMPLAINT IS AGAINST EXPERIAN AT THIS TIME.\n\nThis is a complaint arising under Sections 5 ( a ), 5 ( m ), 13 ( b ), and 16 ( a ) of the Federal Trade Commission Act ( FTC Act ), 15 U.S.C. 45 ( a ), 45 ( m ) ( 1 ) ( A ), 53 ( b ), and 56 ( a ) ; the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681-1681x ; and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692-1692p, to obtain monetary civil penalties, a permanent injunction, restitution, disgorgement, and other equitable relief for the Defendants violations of the FCRA, the FDCPA, and Section 5 of the FTC Act.\n\nEXPERIAN provides consumer personal credit reports to regional and national credit grantors, attempting to issue both commercial and consumer credit. EXPERIAN regularly furnishes consumer credit reports to Creditors electronically. EXPERIAN is an entity who regularly and in the ordinary course of business furnishes information to one or more Creditors about its transactions or experiences with its consumers.\n\nEXPERIAN routinely receives complaints from consumers who claim they do not owe the debt or that an account is invalid or incorrect. In numerous instances, I have notified EXPERIAN at the address specified for such disputes that EXPERIAN is reporting inaccurate information concerning my consumer credit. As a victim of identity theft and the EXPERIAN S Data Breach I expect the information in my consumer report to be accurate and my disputes taken seriously.\n\nEXPERIAN has continued to report inaccurate information to the Creditors even after receiving such notice and accompanying proof. In numerous instances, I have disputed the information appearing on my consumer credit report in writing to EXPERIAN. EXPERIAN receives most notices of disputes from a consumer in electronic format, through automated consumer dispute verification ( ACDV ) forms provided on EXPERIAN S website.\n\nPursuant to Section 623 ( b ) ( 1 ) of the FCRA, EXPERIAN, as a furnisher of information to the Creditors, is required to conduct an investigation of the disputed information upon receipt of a notice of dispute from a Consumer. For certain types of disputes, such as those where the consumer claims the account is not his or hers or belongs to someone with a similar name, it is EXPERIAN s policy and practice only to compare the name, social security number, date of birth, and address in EXPERIAN s computer database with the information provided on ACDV forms. Where three of the four items match, EXPERIAN will report to the Consumer that it has verified the information it furnished as accurate. It is EXPERIAN s policy that only after the consumer has alleged the same type of account inaccuracy more than four times will the matter become assigned to a supervisor to do further investigation. Because EXPERIAN collects accounts that are often old, information in its computer files may not be accurate for a variety of reasons, including incorrect updating of addresses, errors in recording names and information, and problems with the original Creditors records.\n\nIn disputes involving identity theft or fraud allegations, EXPERIAN s policies provide that if the existing account codes and notes in its records do not contain any reference to a prior claim of fraud, EXPERIAN will verify the previously reported information without conducting any investigation prior to such verification. In numerous instances, despite written or oral notification from consumers disputing the accuracy or completeness of alleged debts, EXPERIAN continued to furnish the information to the Creditors without communicating that the information was disputed by the consumer. Section 623 ( a ) of the FCRA describes the duties of furnishers to provide accurate information to Creditors. Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ) prohibits furnishers from providing information relating to a consumer to any Creditor if i. the person has been notified by the consumer, at the address specified by the person for such notices, that specific information is inaccurate ; and ii. the information is, in fact, inaccurate. In numerous instances, I have contacted EXPERIAN at the address specified by EXPERIAN to dispute information furnished by EXPERIAN to a Creditor and to notify EXPERIAN that the information is inaccurate.\n\nIn numerous instances, I have also provided information such as the consumers drivers license, social security number, and/or proof of residence to confirm my identity. The acts and practices alleged above constitute violations of Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ) of the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ). Pursuant to Section 621 ( a ) ( 1 ) of the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681s ( a ) ( 1 ), the acts and practices alleged above also constitute unfair or deceptive acts or practices in violation of Section 5 ( a ) of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. 45 ( a ).","date_sent_to_company":"2019-11-08T21:56:54.000Z","issue":"Incorrect information on your report","sub_product":"Credit reporting","zip_code":"76039","tags":"Servicemember","has_narrative":true,"complaint_id":"3433153","timely":"Yes","company_response":"Closed with non-monetary relief","submitted_via":"Web","company":"Experian Information Solutions Inc.","date_received":"2019-11-08T21:39:53.000Z","state":"TX","company_public_response":"Company has responded to the consumer and the CFPB and chooses not to provide a public response","sub_issue":"Account information incorrect"},"highlight":{"complaint_what_happened":["In <em>disputes</em> involving identity theft or fraud allegations, <em>EXPERIAN</em> s policies provide that if the <em>existing</em> <em>account</em> codes and notes in its records do not contain any reference to a prior claim of fraud, <em>EXPERIAN</em> will verify the previously reported information without conducting any <em>investigation</em> prior to such verification."],"company":["<em>Experian</em> Information Solutions Inc."],"sub_issue":["<em>Account</em> information incorrect"]},"sort":[15.916475,"3433153"]},{"_index":"complaint-public-v1","_id":"8864572","_score":15.667448,"_source":{"product":"Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports","complaint_what_happened":"I am so disgusted by the fact that I've wasted so much time attempting to recover anything about my identity. There is absolutely no point and it isn't because experian is reporting truth, or that they make things hard to dispute, they simply don't put one ounce of effort in from the bottom to the highest person I've spoken with at their company. \nI have decided to just give up on trying. \nI spent the last 2 weeks on the phone calling creditors with a restoration specialist, XXXX XXXX. Nearly all day from XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX, calling and sitting through the things that I do on a daily basis with these XXXX who seem to only exist to waste time, with her listening to the entire conversation and identifying herself as being from experian. The first time i've had any shred of hope at all. \nAfter we were finished, she referred me to identity theft insurance and created a claim number. She said that she thinks I am due a lot ( I'm having trouble even getting a claim submitted for the things that are covered by this policy which seem like nothing ). She also said that a couple of the creditors that we spoke with, I may need to take to court and if I do that I should have my attorney subpoeina our phone calls as evidence that I do not owe these creditors anything. She also filed new disputes for me on a ton of things. I felt like I was maybe going to make it out of this alright. \nIm sitting up at midnight looking at my credit report because I can't sleep like usual. I see that every single one of the disputes she submitted were ruled \" unchanged '' mostly because I've reported them in the past, they did nothing in their investigation, and then ruled against me a day or two later. So now they are simply referencing their lazy effort from months ago, and saying \" we didn't actually do anything, we just saw it was already disputed so we ruled against you. '' I can go on for a full novel about the injustice created by experian every single day. But I want this to be read, so I'll just say that on the first page of this complaint it asks what my complaint is about.
