Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
I have been going back and forth with Experian in regards to unauthorized use of my credit report as well as unauthorized inquiries that have been placed on my credit report. The crazy thing is I have placed fraud alerts as well as a security freeze and paid membership with Experian to add the extra layers of protection to prevent fraudulent activity on my consumer report. Experian has failed me and is causing actual damages not only to me and my livelihood but as well as my kids. Due to the rules and regulations of their offered fraud alert and security freeze program gave me a peace of mind knowing I took extra measures and obtained the fraud alert and security freeze that it would lower the risk of me being an identity theft victim again. I know by having the freeze and fraud alert on my consumer report that if anyone would be applying for credit using my social the business would have to call me in the process and verify that it was me applying for credit before running my information. Experian has failed me significantly they allowed me to become an identity theft victim again despite me having the fraud alert and security freeze. I have tried to dispute this on numerous occasions with them about these unauthorized inquiries and accounts on my report, they ignored me and stated that they cant do anything about it. How can Experian have a paying member let down and not do anything when I took the preventative measures and had the protection of them when these accounts mysteriously popped up on my account while having their security freeze, fraud alert and their membership. I have sent them identity theft report, letters and called on numerous occassions about this. I strongly feel that the CFPB needs to sue Experian first for not followng the FCRA and wrecklessy injuring consumers for lack of properly verifying, investigating and notifying consumers on how they get their information. I am requesting EXperian remove all unauthorized inquiries on my consumer report and unauthorized accounts. I am asking the CFPB to investigate and sue the XXXX out of Experian for fraud and crimes they comitting and the violation of the FCRA. Please delete : 1. XXXX XXXX XXXX account # XXXX 2. XXXX XXXX XXXX account # XXXX. Please delete : 1XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX- Inquiry dateXXXX 2. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry DateXXXX 3.

Complaint:
My complaint is againt Equifax. They were supposed to remove negative credit information off of my report although I faxed proof showing I paid the debt. I also faxed my social security card and drivers license like they told me too, but they said they never received it. They said it took 5 days for them to receive the items but done some reason my docs never reached them although I received confirmation from my fax machine. 

In addition, they said there is no way to contact anyone on the " back room '' to see if my fax was received because the manager doesn't have anyone to contact. He also told me he could not give me his supervisors information.

Lastly, they lied and told me they could remove the negative charge in 7 days after they receive my documentation. Now they are telling me its 30 days.

1 ) Equifax misplaced my private identification documents 2 ) Equifax lied about expediting the removal of negative credit information 3 ) Equifax gave me the run around when I tried to get this taken care of

Complaint:
On ( XX/XX/2023 ) I sent a letter regarding inaccurate Late payments, inaccurate negative accounts, bankruptcies and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. feel like i'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those negative items from my credit report as well as correct my late payments as paid on time. It has been over 60 days so they should be corrected promptly. I demand these negative accounts be deleted & correct late payments as paid on time immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the XXXX data breach and XXXX have got into the hands of the wrong person.

State: CA
Product: Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan
Sub-product: Installment loan
Issue: Struggling to pay your loan

Complaint:
I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX handling of my car loan. I had a car loan with your institution, and unfortunately, the car was sold, leaving a remaining balance of {$2200.00} and a repossession on my credit. 

I had an extra gap insurance policy with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to cover any extra expenses in case of car damages or repossessions up to no more than 150 % loan remaining balance. However, despite having this insurance policy, I was still left with a significant balance and repossession on my credit. 

Furthermore, I have discovered that changes were made to my account without my authorization. I have reason to believe that these changes were made through a document that was illegally obtained while I was incarcerated. This document does not have my signature or annulment with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, yet the changes were still allowed to go through. 

I have disputed this matter in a couple different ways. The situation has caused significant damage to my business funding, my living situation, my future moving situation and the funding of my daily living expenses and use of my credit line. It has been a major setback for me, and I am extremely disappointed with the way that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has handled this matter. 

I have attached the relevant documents to this letter to support my claim. I believe that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX should have taken more care to ensure that changes to my account were made with my authorization. 

I will like to request XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX review my case and refund the remaining balance on my credit as well as take the repossession off my credit. I also request that you investigate and unauthorized changes made to my account and take appropriate actions to prevent this from happening to other customers. 

I trust that you will take the necessary steps to resolve this matter in a timely and satisfactory Manner. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
I recently received a copy of my Transunion consumer report and it shows jutiple soft inquires from multiple companies. I never gave these companies authorization to get accessed of my report. And Transunion is suppose to ask for proof to the companies of my written authorization allowing them to go to Transunion and received the copy of my report. And just because it is a a soft inquiry and doesnt affect my score or is only showned by me doesnt explain the fact that Transunion allowed these companies to access my report without obtaining proof from the listed companies of my written authorization.

Complaint:
My name is XXXX XXXX, and I am sending this request myself to address the inaccuracies on my Credit Reports. Despite the several previous written requests, the DISCOVER FIN SVCS LLC account still remains on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. The 3 Credit Bureaus have failed to comply with Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC sections 1681i within the time set forth by law and continued reporting of unverified information which now, given all my attempts to address it directly with the creditor, as willful negligence and non-compliance with federal statutes. These statuses are damaging to my report, which would not be happening if the bureaus are investigated properly before posting derogatory information.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2020, I, XXXX XXXX submitted a dispute with Experian where my credit file showed consumer credit transactions with several creditors. I submitted to them that I did not give written permission in accordance with 15 USC 1681b for Experian to furnish these transactions on my consumer report. They responded back to me after 60 days saying that they verified these accounts. These were an approval for a specific extension of credit and these accounts should be excluded from the report in accordance to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 2 ) ( b ). The fact that Experian verified/validated this and yet failed to follow the law has caused me great stress! I will be submitting this to the Attorney General. I want theses items removed from my credit file immediately. I will also be sending an attempt to sue if these things are not removed from my file.
