State: CA
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Credit monitoring or identity theft protection services
Sub-issue: Problem canceling credit monitoring or identify theft protection service

Complaint:
At least 5 incidents. Every time I've used Experian for a " free credit check '' ... The company takes your CC #, then signs you up for an expensive credit monitoring service, without clearly explaining this. Then when you try to cancel the service... Experian keeps charging your card anyway. Every contact and complaint to Experian directly, is totally ignored. 

Eventually you have to contact your CC company, and send them the screenshots showing what has happened, and your cancellation attempts. Your CC company has to refund the , and cancel the service on your behalf. Often the Experian charges continue, and you have to repeat the entire process again. Your CC gives up, cancels your card and issues a new one. This results in a lot of wasted time, , and effort. Other bills have to be updated to the new card #, and sometimes late fees occur before every bill can be updated. Over the years, this never changes. Yet Experian has found new ways to trick consumers into their scam, by having the public sign up for a " free credit score '' etc. through different company names, then after there's a billing issue, it's discovered it's really Experian.

I've had countless screenshots over the years of this... But not readily available atm.

But, I'm sure I'm not the only consumer who's complained to this agency, as the internet is full of identical complaints to my own... So why does this agency still allow Experian to even exist??? They are a full scam. They hold SSN, dob and sensitive data. They effect FICO scores which effects too much in people 's lives. They really should've been shut years ago. How am I still needing to go through all this again and again. They're literally hiding under other services ' names, because no one trusts them. End this madness. I'm out of time and effort to spend on this nonsense. Experian is not a government agency ... Why do they have so much power, and who is giving them authority? Any other company who had this many complaints of financial scam, and held personal data and power over all lending and credit ... Would've been shut down. So, that's it... Shut them down.

Company: CCS Financial Services, Inc.
State: GA
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: I do not know
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
After careful review of my consumer reports, I noticed an account on my report from CCS Collections account number : XXXX. 
I have not received any goods or services from this company ; nor have I ever done any business with the company. I am unsure of how this company illegally obtained any of my information as far as my name, ssn, and dob. As I know that only a contract/ signed agreement between CCS Collections and myself would make me legally bonded to any debt that they may claim. I am very sure that I have never provided any wet signature or provided any of my personal information to this company on any agreement. 
With that being said, had CCS Collections sent a Debt Validation Notice as they are lawfully required to per FCRA ; I would have been able to rightfully dispute this account before they unlawfully caused harm to my consumer reports. I am requesting that CCS Collections provides proof of delivery/receipt that they have sent a debt validation notice. I have never received any written or verbal communication as directed via FCRA Law allowing me the proper opportunity to dispute this invalidated debt. 

Consider this a demand to cease and desist as well as a notice of unlawful conduct of failure to distribute proper notice. Please remove this account off my consumer reports

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX sent me a letter saying I need to log onto their website. The website does not work and it's consistent with the conspiracy of fraudulent reporting a bankruptcy that does not exist. I have reported this several times and they are still lying about the bankruptcy that they can not verify with the XXXX District of Kentucky Bankruptcy. If you guys can not provide proper oversight I will be force to sue the three bureaus and XXXX XXXX in court. This is not a tolerable action in which a citizen should be subjected to. 

The three credit bureaus are conspiring with XXXX due to the fact they are a paid subscriber and we are now understanding that there is a monetary gain for consumers to have bad credit. Their sponsors make more money and this process will be presented to a federal court.
