Experian continues to report an illegally obtained/fraudulent account from XXXX XXXX XXXXThe original account, XXXX, was paid in full and closed on XX/XX/2009. This account is currently reporting positively to all XXXX bureaus on my file. XXXX XXXX XXXX, without any prior warning, opens a NEW collections account from this old paid and closed account- and begins reporting it as an open, past due collections account. 

FIRST, I do not owe this money. This account was settled and paid in full in 2009 directly with XXXX. 

SECOND, this account is LONG past the statute of limitations in TX ( 4 years ). It is absolutely 100 % illegal for them to continue to report this. I just purchased a new vehicle in the last month, and because this illegal debt collector has added this account to my report, i was not only DECLINED for credit, but it SEVERELY and ADVERSELY affected my interest rate. 

Now, I have incurred damages as a result of this fraudulent collections account and will need to refinance my new vehicle loan as a result, once this is deleted. 

I *will* be pursuing additional legal action after this complaint has been addressed with CFPB, if necessary.
