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

Complaint:
I contacted Experian by phone in attempt to request a freeze on my father 's credit file due to his recent death. I was unable to connect to a representative through the automated phone system, but rather advised that they would only accept a request for a freeze via mail. I attempted to submit a freeze request online via Experian 's online portal at https : //www.experian.com/consumer/upload/ but their system would not allow my files to upload a PDF file from my XXXX. I found the corporate HQ number and was only able to connect to a live representative via their business/client service line. Their line for consumers goes directly back to the automated system which would not allow me to connect to a live representative for my issue. Corporate was able to ultimately connect me to an agent who explained that their policy does not allow for a temporary freeze or even remarks to be added to the account indicating they had been notified of the consumer 's death. I requested to speak with a supervisor to discuss my concerns about the nature of this policy and the potential vulnerability it exposes their customers to. I was advised I would get a call back but had not received one within 24 hours. I am providing written documentation by mail to Experian but feel their policy and tools limit the ability of consumers to quickly advise and secure their information against potential fraudulent actors and exposes their clients and financial institutions to unecessary risk by not allowing for a mechanism to flag an account for further investigation should someone attempt to obtain credit under a deceased individual 's name or victim of identity theft. In my contacts with the other two major credit bureaus, I did not experience the same issues or was able to connect to a representative who could handle my request with more expediency than Experian.

Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
I have expressed this situation to my attorney and XXXX is violating the FCRA laws pertaining to bankruptcy. All of the " account statuses '' should state " CLOSED ''. The account statuses says derogatory. I have contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX and they will be representing me on this dispute. I have requested numerous times to put the correct information on my credit report and they refuse too. This is the final attempt before involving the courts. Most of the accounts were opened due to fraud and the companies refuse to send the documentation I requested. XXXX, XXXX, and Experian are all violating the FCRA Bankruptcy consumer laws. No one should have to endure this and it is utterly ridiculous that these 3rd party companies would rather be sued than to do the correct thing. Law states if the companies do not respond in 30 days the accounts are to be removed. I have repeatedly gotten emails stating 60 days and that is definitely not the laws. Also, my name is not XXXX XXXX nor has it ever been XXXX XXXX!

Company: Sequoia Financial Services

Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Medical debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was already discharged in bankruptcy and is no longer owed

Complaint:
There is a ER bill that I currently dont owe due to it being tied up in litigation. The lawsuit was filed in XX/XX/XXXX and it was illegally sent to collection in XX/XX/XXXX according to my credit report. I made several attempts to get this item off my XXXX  credit report through multiple disputes. The most recent dispute I uploaded proof of litigation and each time Sequoia Financial validated the debt. I wasnt even aware of the collection until around XXXX when I opened a letter that was dated XX/XX/XXXX. Ive been dealing with a serious medical situation. Today, I contacted Sequoia and asked them who owns the debt and who is validated it each time I disputed. They confirmed that the hospital owns the debt but they are validating it. I told them that I dont owe the debt. The hospital has said through their attorney that they already put this debt on hold. As of today, I checked and Sequoia last validated the debt on XX/XX/XXXX.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint:
I've had a freeze for many years. Everytime, ( yes, all three times I've removed it ) Transunion confirms that its lifted, only to continue to tell merchants its NOT. I have to call and hold for long times to get someone to confirm it was lifted. Once I do that they lift it. I believe this is intentional harrassment of people who freeze their credit. Either that, or they are totally incompetent at managing freeze lifts.
