Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: SC
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I'm writing to bring to your attention a matter of utmost urgency and frustration. I've been dealing with Experian for over a month now, trying to get a fraud alert removed from my credit report. I've reached out to them over a dozen times through various channelsmail, email, and their online upload form. Despite my repeated and explicit requests to remove the fraud alert, they've managed to do the exact opposite : they keep adding new fraud alerts to my account. 

This isn't just a minor inconvenience ; it's causing real financial harm. I've been trying to get approved for a line of credit, and these additional fraud alerts are making it impossible. Every time a lender checks my credit report, they see these alerts and back away. It's like being stuck in a financial XXXX XXXX, and it's entirely due to Experian 's incompetence. 

I've followed all the procedures, filled out all the forms, and yet here I am, still stuck with a credit report that's doing me more harm than good. It's beyond frustratingit 's negligent. I've lost opportunities and time, and I'm at my wit 's end. I'm asking for your immediate intervention to resolve this issue and hold Experian accountable for their actions. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution. 

These are the reports I have already filed with Experian : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Yet the sheer incompetence and lack of a way to get in touch with anyone by phone, in comparison to the other credit agencies where you can easily get a human, is the reason I am filing this complaint.

Complaint:
I am writing to you as a last resort to resolve this issue and upon the advice of the clerk of the court in XXXX, Florida prior to filing a writ. I have attempted several times to have this removed from all 3 credit reporting agencies to avail. OnXXXX, XXXX XXXX representing a company known as Amerassist contacted me via email requesting that I pay his company {$1500.00}. I advised XXXX that I do not know what he is referring to and requested verification. I received on XX/XX/21 a copy of a contract from XXXX highlighting a company XXXX, XXXX that I had previously done business. I immediately advised XXXX XXXX that his request for payment has been denied on grounds he was unable to produce any documentation that indicated a contract between myself and Amerassist. XXXX XXXX continued to send harassing emails to me on a repeat basis ignoring my notice to cease and deceit. Additionally, XXXX XXXX has entered a hard inquiry on my credit report without the required permission and in violation of the FCRA. It is my belief that this was conducted as a retaliatory act and with the direct intent of lowing my credit score even further.

I tried to resolve this matter on my own several times.

They are sharing my information with 3rd party companies and making a profit without my consent or knowledge which is identity theft.As a gentle reminder you CAN NOT report/treat a payment on an open ended credit plan as late for any reason. If you need direct citation please refer to 15 USC 1666 ( B ). I also would like to bring forth another law pertinent to this letter ; 15 USC 1681 ( B ) where it states that I as a consumer would need to give you PERMISSION to furnish information on my behalf. To date, I have not granted you or ( any company reporting the late payment** ) such authority.
