They refuse any disputes online or via mail saying that they have already been investigated twice. I had heard that if you wait a few months they will let you dispute again, but this hasn't happened in my case. They refused to investigate additional information that I sent to them also. I will not sue, even though I have many violations on them. Anyone know of a way to get someone to look at my disputes?
Have you sent this section of the FCRA along with your additional information? : § 611. Procedure in case of disputed accuracy [15 U.S.C. § 1681i] (a) Reinvestigations of disputed information. (1) Reinvestigation required. (A) In general. If the completeness or accuracy of any item of information contained in a consumer's file at a consumer reporting agency is disputed by the consumer and the consumer notifies the agency directly of such dispute, the agency shall reinvestigate free of charge and record the current status of the disputed information, or delete the item from the file in accordance with paragraph (5), before the end of the 30-day period beginning on the date on which the agency receives the notice of the dispute from the consumer. (B) Extension of period to reinvestigate. Except as provided in subparagraph (C), the 30-day period described in subparagraph (A) may be extended for not more than 15 additional days if the consumer reporting agency receives information from the consumer during that 30-day period that is relevant to the reinvestigation. (C) Limitations on extension of period to reinvestigate. Subparagraph (B) shall not apply to any reinvestigation in which, during the 30-day period described in subparagraph (A), the information that is the subject of the reinvestigation is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or the consumer reporting agency determines that the information cannot be verified. (2) Prompt notice of dispute to furnisher of information. (A) In general. Before the expiration of the 5-business-day period beginning on the date on which a consumer reporting agency receives notice of a dispute from any consumer in accordance with paragraph (1), the agency shall provide notification of the dispute to any person who provided any item of information in dispute, at the address and in the manner established with the person. The notice shall include all relevant information regarding the dispute that the agency has received from the consumer. (B) Provision of other information from consumer. The consumer reporting agency shall promptly provide to the person who provided the information in dispute all relevant information regarding the dispute that is received by the agency from the consumer after the period referred to in subparagraph (A) and before the end of the period referred to in paragraph (1)(A). (3) Determination that dispute is frivolous or irrelevant. (A) In general. Notwithstanding paragraph (1), a consumer reporting agency may terminate a reinvestigation of information disputed by a consumer under that paragraph if the agency reasonably determines that the dispute by the consumer is frivolous or irrelevant, including by reason of a failure by a consumer to provide sufficient information to investigate the disputed information. (B) Notice of determination. Upon making any determination in accordance with subparagraph (A) that a dispute is frivolous or irrelevant, a consumer reporting agency shall notify the consumer of such determination not later than 5 business days after making such determination, by mail or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by any other means available to the agency. (C) Contents of notice. A notice under subparagraph (B) shall include (i) the reasons for the determination under subparagraph (A); and (ii) identification of any information required to investigate the disputed information, which may consist of a standardized form describing the general nature of such information. (4) Consideration of consumer information. In conducting any reinvestigation under paragraph (1) with respect to disputed information in the file of any consumer, the consumer reporting agency shall review and consider all relevant information submitted by the consumer in the period described in paragraph (1)(A) with respect to such disputed information. If nothing else works, and they still will not allow you to dispute, and you have solid evidence that the account should be deleted/not yours/never late, etc. then taking EX to court may be your last and only option.
I'm curious.. why wouldn't you sue if they are refusing to cooperate with the basic right you have of disputing information that is tarnishing your credit reputation?
It doesn't matter how many letters or quotes or calls to experain you make asking or begging them to re-invesitgate a previously verified dispute. They won't do it!! They will continue to send you their standard letter saying it was already verified with the source and remains accurate, you can then add you statement, like that matters!! Unless Experian tells you your dispute is frivilous, under the FCRA they MUST reinvestigate such until they tell you in writing why your dispute is frivilous. Unless you sue them they will NOT reinvestigate your dispute. I am in a battle over them for several months over this. I am suing them at the end of the month over this and inquiries and other stupid crap they refuse to abide by. At this point I told them I don't need you to investigate the item in question anymore, I am demanding that you delete it due to not reinvestigating it when I notifed you of such. Unless you sue you will not get them to comply with anything, they will do what they want to you and you'll just have to bend over and take it from them. Tac
