Experian continues to post fraudulent inaccurate information reported by XXXX on my credit file, they also continue to send bizarre emails. One states to send in the documents required for them to remove false info from my credit file, while the other states I did not send my identification ..I sent all info multiple times, as I am doing now with this complaint.. At this point what Experian is engaged in appears to be libel and defamation of character., Experian has been made aware multiple times that the information is not accurate XXXX XXXX  is under investigation for defrauding its customers, .Why Experian continues to uphold false claims made by a bank that is obviously having internal issues preventing them from operating honestly makes it appear that Experian is partnered with XXXX and engaging in fraud.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: PA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers
Sub-issue: Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms

Complaint:
I applied for the Wells Fargo Active Cash card on XX/XX/XXXX. Advertised variable APRs at that time were 19.74 %, 24.74 %, and 29.74 % based on your creditworthiness. 
I was approved for the card within seconds and received an email indicating my APR would be 24.74 % after the 0 % promotional rate expired. I reached out to the company the following morning and after going through 4 people I was told that someone who handles customer complaints would get back to me. 
I received a voicemail from XXXX to call them back on XX/XX/XXXX. I called back and she just explained the same terms and conditions I already knew. I explained that I wanted to know why I was only qualifying for the mid-tier APR when I have an exceptional credit score. She said that they use information from credit reports obtained by XXXX to determine the rates. I said that I would like to speak to someone above her regarding the matter and eventually spoke to her manager on XX/XX/XXXX. She said that they would submit my application for further review and have an answer to me in 24-48 hours. I received a follow up call later that day from XXXX XXXX in which she just repeated back to me what had been discussed on the prior phone call. 
After no contact the following week, I reached out to the company on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX looking for an update. I received a call back from XXXX manager on XX/XX/XXXX indicating that the review can take up to 10 business days someone will be in contact with me by the following Friday. 
I received a call today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) from XXXX in which she stated that my interest rate would remain the same. I asked what my credit score was supplied to them on the day I applied for the card and was told it was XXXX. I indicated multiple times that they appear to be advertising false APRs because if people with exceptional credit do not qualify for the top-tier APR, who does? She said the decision is based upon information obtained from my credit report. I asked her to provide the specific reason that I was denied the better rate. I was told that I would need to contact XXXX to review my credit report. 
I had already checked my XXXX credit score myself on XX/XX/XXXX and it was XXXX. There is no negative information on my report that would disqualify me from a better rate. 
I also asked XXXX to supply me with the percentage of applicants that qualify for the 19.74 % APR, but was told that she didnt have that information.

Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged

Complaint:
I faced some financial difficulties after going through a very traumatic divorce. Due to exigent circumstances, I had to stop paying my XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX, both owned by XXXX XXXX. Portfolio Recovery not only sent me numerous letters but harassed me via telephone calls daily trying to collect on the debt including calling during my work hours and on both my cell and work numbers. If I was available, I would answer their call. I also contacted Portfolio Recovery on numerous occasions ( some dates I documented and some I didn't ), explained my situation, and offered to settle the debt for what I was able to afford. My offers were declined every time even though I explained that I had taken a loan from my retirement account to pay what I could afford of the XXXX balances. XXXX XXXX XXXX had already gone bankrupt but Portfolio Recovery would not entertain my offers. I was so desperate that I contacted attorney XXXX XXXX to file for bankruptcy. At the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX were the only XXXX collections I had not been able to settle. XXXX XXXX counseled me to try to avoid bankruptcy and offered to send them letters to try to resolve the XXXX balances but Portfolio Recovery completely ignored. They reported both collections to the credit bureaus and that has affected my credit negatively. As a single mom, I am trying to rebuild my credit but due to Portfolio Recovery 's actions, I have been unable to bring up my credit score. I have been denied credit on several occasions because of that. I hereby request Portfolio Recovery removes the XXXX collections from my credit report as I have made continuous good-faith efforts to settle these debts and they have refused. 
I have attached Portfolio Recovery Collection Letters and Attorney XXXX XXXX 's Letters to Portfolio Recovery.

Complaint:
I was told by a member of Credit Centrals office in South Carolina that once I paid the account in full this account would be DELETED from my credit report. I have paid this in full and have disputed this item several times with this company but yet they continue to report this account. This is fraudulent and the company blatantly lied to me about payment. Now that I have followed through and paid everything owed they have not removed this account from my report.
