Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem
Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Consumer Complaint: According to the most recent reinvestigation conducted on XX/XX/XXXX Report Number XXXX, I am seeking clarification on the verification process and the method employed to substantiate the reported information. As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ), credit bureaus are mandated to perform a reasonable reinvestigation when a consumer disputes an item on their credit report. I am seeking detailed information on how the recent reinvestigation was carried out, including the method of verification. Verification Method : How was the information verified during the recent reinvestigation? Specify the method used, whether through written communication, electronic verification, or other means. Person Contacted : If a live person was contacted, kindly provide the name, title, and phone number of the individual. If the verification was conducted through a phone call, please include the date and time of the call. Transcript of XXXX : If a phone call was made, as calls are recorded, I request a transcript of the call, including the date and time for verification purposes. If Experian is unable to provide the method of verification in accordance with the FCRA, it raises concerns about the legitimacy of the recent reinvestigation.

Consumer Complaint: I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the inaccurate and incomplete credit information that is currently listed on my credit report. It is unacceptable that such errors have been allowed to appear on my credit report, and it appears that the bureau has failed to maintain reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy in the credit reports published. I am demanding that you immediately remove the following items from my credit report : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, and XXXX/XXXX XXXX. I request that you provide proof of the alleged items, specifically the contract, note, or other instruments bearing my signature. If you fail to provide such evidence, the items must be promptly deleted from my credit report. I am the primary complainant in this matter, and I hereby grant full authority to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) to thoroughly investigate and address this claim.

Consumer Complaint: I have done everything by the book with disputing these accounts. Ive contacted the bank in regards to this matter. They claimed its been resolved. Ive contact the law enforcement agency and filed a report and affidavit. They claim they identity theft report is valid. And lastly, Im contact the credit reporting agencies. XXXX have removed the accounts per legal requirement. But for some weird reason Experian feels Im not following all the steps. DPT EDXXXX XXXX I know the consumer laws and the courts are very lenient with the banks and credit reporting agencies so filing a lawsuit is a waste of energy. Seeing Ive submitted my claim with Experian for over 6 months, Im at wits end. This is the 6th complaint Ive filed against them and every time I get the same ridiculous response. They make some absurd claim that the documents Ive submitted are not valid. Id like the CFPB to honestly look closely at this case because it seems this is a lack of their legal requirement to process the identity theft report. I have filed it with a law enforcement agency. Identitytheft.gov is a federal law enforcement agency. Id like to see this matter handled properly. All this grief of identity theft and not having any access to my credit is creating a ton of emotional and physical distress. Its cause a great deal of strain in my work and personal lives. I literally losing my mind because I have no other recourse

Consumer Complaint: I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction and concern regarding the several unsuccessful attempts to remove fraudulent items from my account. Despite multiple reports and requests for assistance, the resolution process has been frustratingly ineffective, and the fraudulent charges persist, causing significant distress and inconvenience. I discovered unauthorized and fraudulent transactions on my account, prompting me to contact your institution immediately to report the fraudulent activities. Since then, I have diligently followed the necessary procedures for disputing unauthorized charges, providing detailed information, and submitting supporting evidence. Regrettably, my efforts to rectify this situation have been met with continuous setbacks, leading me to question the efficiency and effectiveness of the resolution process. I wish to bring the following issues to your attention : Despite multiple reports and the provision of supporting documentation, it appears that the investigation into these fraudulent transactions has not yielded the desired results. The lack of progress is concerning, and I am left with unresolved issues on my account. Throughout this process, there has been a significant lack of clear and consistent communication. Timely updates on the status of the investigation and the actions being taken would have provided reassurance during this challenging period. To my dismay, the fraudulent items persist on my account, indicating a failure to adequately address the issue and protect my account from further unauthorized activities. I understand that addressing fraud cases is a complex and challenging task, but as a concerned customer, I expect a higher level of urgency, transparency, and commitment to resolving such issues promptly. I am formally requesting an immediate and thorough review of the handling of my case. I insist on a comprehensive explanation of the steps taken to investigate and remove the fraudulent items from my account. Additionally, I seek clear assurances and a detailed plan outlining how your institution intends to prevent the recurrence of such incidents in the future. If my concerns are not addressed satisfactorily, I may have no choice but to escalate this matter to the relevant regulatory authorities and consumer protection agencies. I am asking for your assistance to remove these fraudulent items in my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly
Consumer Complaint: In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The List of accounts below has violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681. I told Experian, XXXX, and XXXX to reinvestigate these accounts : Account name : # XXXX, Account name : # XXXX, Account name : # XXXX, Account name : # XXXX. However, they stated everything was complete and accurate. But how is that possible if the open date, date of last activity and much more is incorrect. According to 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ), they are supposed to modify accounts that aren't reporting correctly. 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.
