Consumer Complaint: I am aware that, in spite of the precise information customers have provided, you have been using pre-written standard form letters in your responses to a large number of disputes, complaints, and challenges. I am fully aware that this is illegal because every customer complaint needs to be considered on its own merits and handled accordingly. My letters have written and generated using accessible software that is available to everyone. If you choose not to process or address my letters, you are violating 15 U.S. Code 5 1681i. And it is against the law to delay the processing of letters from consumers based on the assumption that assistance from a third party may be available. This does not qualify as a legal exception. I am the sole author of any letters bearing my name, or they have been written by my advisors with my complete knowledge and consent. I am aware that you can postpone answering consumer letters without having to ask for a Power of Attorney. I will view your failure to respond to my correspondence in a timely manner as a willful disregard for my rights as a customer. I will be forced to get in touch with my lawyer and take legal action in such a situation. According to the FCRA Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( l ) and the accepted STANDARD of Metro 2 data fild reporting, I have the right to dispute any information on my credit report that I believe is not correct. It is essential that all data included in a consumer 's file is properly documented and validated before it is made available for use by creditors. Therefore, I take this matter seriously. The allegations of delinquency and derogatory information against me are entirely false, I won't stand for any misinformation being associated with my name and fiancial history and I am determined to FIGHT back with ALL my strength! The accuracy of your credit report is crucial. The allegations listed do not meet the federal or state requirements for reporting and can not be substantiated. I challenge these claims due to their failure to comply with basic reporting standards, which would provide me with greater confidence in the accuracy of the information presented. It is your responsibility to maintain and report data with complete accuracy and compliance. You must not report any claims that you know do not meet regulatory requirements. It is crucial that we ensure all claims are accurate and reported in the appropriate format as mandated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and reporting standards such as METRO 2. I kindly request that you handle this matter with utmost care and diligence.

Consumer Complaint: I tried for 3 days and multiple times and multiple numbers including corporate offices to get a person to unfreeze my credit or correct contact information in my file. Pin has been lost. company has incorrect cell phone number and can not send info to landline phone. I have concluded that Experian does not intend to use real people to solve problems, even those that can not be resolved by websites or computers, or even mail. Therefore, I am asking the government to provide a way that I can OPT-OUT of this private company collecting and providing information to businesses about me and others. Alternatively, the cfpb should provide this vitally important service rather than any private company. Other issues that need addressing by the cfpb are : 1. I had perfect credit. Inadvertently missed a payment on new card because mail lost mail. Credit score dropped XXXX points, from XXXX to XXXX. This is utter nonsense, and represents an algorithm bias against consumers. Companies charge consumers more the lower the credit score. 2. Inquiries, scores drop XXXX points because of a hard inquiry that stays active for years. Companies solicit consumers with excellent credit by providing bonuses, as much as {$1500.00} for a new card. this is too much to pass up. Yet my score drops every time I apply for a new card despite perfect credit. Conclusion : Take this vital process out of the private sector. All other vital statistics, birth and death records, social security numbers, criminal records, etc. are administered by government entities. Credit should be also. Especially when the 3 companies have demonstrated they do not have the public 's best interest at heart, but those of corporations that pay them for services.
