Sub-issue: Other problem getting your report or credit score

Complaint:
Experian : Opened an Experian online account about a month ago to manage a security freeze I placed on my credit account in XXXX. 
When I attempted to thaw the freeze online, I was asked by Experian to submit the request via ground mail using a paper form along with identity-related documents. The requested form and proof of identity documents were delivered to Experian on XX/XX/XXXX, as confirmed by USPS tracking system. 
Since Experian did not notify me via e-mail on the status of the temporary freeze removal request, I decided to login to my account to look for information online. As several attempts to login failed, I asked the site to e-mail my username, and provided my SS number along with my email address when prompted. The reply e-mail I received from Experian was very surprising. It stated that my username was forwarded to a XXXX email account, but I never had a XXXX email account! 
If my SS number is associated with an email address that I am totally unaware of, it is apparent that my identity has been compromised. What steps can I take now to resolve the issue since I can not reach Experian by phone or through their portal? 

XXXX : Opened an XXXX online account about a month ago to manage a security freeze I placed on my credit account in XXXX. 
When I attempted to thaw the freeze online, I was asked by XXXX to submit the request via ground mail using a paper form along with identity-related documents ( similar to what Experian did ). The requested form and proof of identity documents were delivered to Experian on XX/XX/XXXX, as confirmed by USPS tracking system. 
When I attempt to login to my account or try to call XXXX to inquire about my request to thaw the freeze, I get the message that my request can not be processed at the moment, with no further explanation. Several attempts per day to contact XXXX online and by phone have been made since XX/XX/XXXX to no avail. The company has effectively locked me out of my account! I am not sure how and where to go to reestablish my identity and credit account.

On XX/XX/, I sent a letter to the courthouse asking if they report bankruptcies to the credit bureaus and I received a letter stating, " They do not report any bankruptcies to anyone.

Complaint:
I am filing this complaint to CAPITAL ONE. I am writing to formally express my deep concern and disappointment regarding the lack of action taken to correct and remove fraudulent accounts that persist on my credit report. Despite my diligent efforts, the presence of these inaccuracies continues to impact my reputation adversely. On XX/XX/2023, XX/XX/2023 and XXXX XXXX, I submitted dispute letters to CAPITAL ONE, detailing the fraudulent accounts and requesting their prompt correction. Regrettably, to date, I have not witnessed any substantive action taken to address these discrepancies.

To assist in your investigation, I have attached my Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) report with the reference number XXXX. I believe this report provides additional context and evidence supporting the urgency of this matter. I am genuinely disappointed that the information on my credit report does not accurately reflect my financial history, as I expect from a reputable credit reporting agency. I trust that CAPITAL ONE will take immediate and comprehensive action to rectify this situation and uphold the accuracy and integrity of my credit file.
