Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA
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 was part of the XXXX credit information hack I find it unacceptable that I have to PAY to freeze my credit when I did n't consent to my information being stored by XXXX, Experion, or XXXX in the first place. No American can sign up for any service or financial account without being validated by these three, so this is a forced requirement.
Congress should federally mandate that credit freezes, unfreezes, and reporting be made available at no charge and with no conditional requirements ( ie : signing up for credit protection services offered by the agencies or their vendors ). Our ability to BE American citizens relies on our ability to control our credit reporting. Credit reporting agencies already make money off of my information and I should not be required to pay them additional money to protect my information, especially when they allow breaches that can cause permanent financial and identity harm. 

Thank you for taking time to read my complaint.
