State: NE
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
I have connected with this company and the bureaus multiple times to have myself removed as an authorized user, and it has not been done by the credit card company or the bureaus. I have requested proof that I am a co-signer on the account and have been told I am not, I am simply an authorized user. Copies of any agreement that list me as a co-signer would be falsified as I did not agree to those terms, and they have stated I am not responsible for the debt. Yet they will not remove me. If I am not responsible, why continue to report on my credit unless with malicious intent. I have disputed with the bureaus no less than 4 times between XXXX. Most recently on XX/XX/2023. It is tearing down my credit and I am not legally responsible for this debt. Not to mention their own terms & conditions state that an authorized user may be terminated or removed simply by saying so in writing. That has been done as recently as XX/XX/2023 and it has not been granted. 

This company has been in litigation before for malicious and unlawful practices and I fear without consequences, they will continue to do so.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

Complaint:
Around XX/XX/XXXX I contacted Experian credit bureau questioning the accuracy of few items on my credit report as well as removing the fraud alert on my report. My request was put in writing. They have ceased investigation of my credit reports because in their opinion, they believe I have used a third party credit agency. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I have contacted Experian again stating that I believe they are using a stall tactic to gain additional 30 days to comply with my original request and they are delaying my request. They have breached and violated the FCRA. Additionally, there is NO law that states a consumer can not use a third party. 

Since then - Experian have placed a fraud alert on my report and refusing to process any dispute requests I made. As a result, they are damaging my finances by blocking my ability to obtain new credit. 

The damage has impacted my life since last year until this moment. 

The items I disputed and my requests got ignored are as follow : 1 ) XXXX XXXX XXXX - Opened XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance {$0.00} was never late and I requested that Experian correct this info on my credit report. 
2 ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - Opened XX/XX/XXXX Balance {$6600.00} does not belong to me. I requested to be removed from my credit report. 
3 ) XXXX XXXX XXXX - Opened XX/XX/XXXX Balance {$1700.00} does not belong to me. I requested to be removed from my credit report. 

I requested the above accounts to be investigated- however, Experian refused to process because they think those requests were not made my me. I also called them and verified my identity with them over the phone - and requested that the Fraud alert and the incorrect items to be removed my credit report - however, they refused to do so. 

In summary, I tried every way to resolve this but they either refuse to process my request or ignore. 

Attachments : 1 ) Demand letter # 1 to Experian 2 ) Demand letter # 2 to Experian 3 ) Screenshot of Experian responses refusing to process my disputes because they believe it is not me who wrote the dispute requests.
