Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

Letter to : XXXX and XXXX I am writing to express my frustration with the inefficiencies in your credit freeze system. After successfully creating an account and freezing my credit, I attempted to log in again only to find that my credentials were not recognized. This is unacceptable for a service that is supposed to protect my financial security. 

Furthermore, the phone number published on your website is entirely unhelpful for resolving this issue. Instead of reaching a human representative, I am forced to interact with an AI bot that is insufficiently programmed to handle my request to unfreeze my credit. This lack of direct, human customer support is both frustrating and alarming. 

My request is simple : unfreeze my credit immediately. I demand to be restored to the position I was in before attempting to use your service. I would rather risk exposure than continue to be manipulated by a system that leaves me helpless and unable to access my own financial information.

Coast to Coast Financial Solutions is attempting to acquire payment for services performed by XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

In XX/XX/22 I asked XXXX to provide me my current agreement. They acquired the company that I had an active agreement with that stated pest treatment would almost completely reduce the amount of pests on the premises. 

Since their acquisition, they did not meet the terms of the agreement in place with the previous vendor. I sent in a request for help in XX/XX/22. No one responded in over a month. 

At this point, I had to hire another vendor. XXXX responded by threatening sending me to collections. I asked them to confirm the level of service per the agreement. They sent me to collections. 

1 ) The debt collector has Failed to provide me with information that allows me to verify that I owe a debt for services not rendered - i.e. pests control services did not result in pest control 2 ) The debt collector is Attempting to collect fees or additional sums not allowed for in the original contract At this point I feel harassed and taken advantage of and I want them to leave me alone.

A month ago, I submitted a complaint to these Bureaus, but the incorrect information on my report is still there. I haven't heard back from them, aside from your notification that the company has replied to my complaint. How can I trust that they've properly investigated the inaccuracies? What steps did they take to verify the accounts? This entire situation is really frustrating, especially since it's been over 30 days since I filed my complaint.

I believe my personal information was stolen last year, and an unauthorized individual used my credit card information to make fraudulent charges. I want to emphasize that I did not make these charges, and I am determined to prove my innocence. 

I would like to request an investigation into the IP address and location from which these fraudulent charges originated. By identifying the source, we can gain valuable information that may help resolve this matter. It's important to note that I have always been responsible with my credit cards and have never failed to make payments in the past. 

I kindly request that the Bank of America thoroughly review this case and reconsider its decision to hold me responsible for these charges. I ask for the removal of the fraudulent charges from my credit card statement and the removal of any negative impact on my credit history associated with these charges. I am committed to working with you to resolve this issue promptly and fairly.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

I saw an unauthorized hard inquiry on my Experian credit report on XXXX XX/XX/2022. I contacted Experian the same day to dispute the inquiry. After being transferred from one person to another, the final person I talked to twisted my words and tried their best to not to understand the issue, when the issue is so simple! I want to dispute an unauthorized hard inquiry. 

They asked me to reach out to the lender for questions about my application. I said I did not even apply for anything, which was why I needed to file a dispute for unauthorized credit inquiry. Then they said if I didnt apply for anything why was I calling. (? ) And their irrational arguments go on. 

The unauthorized inquiry I found out was actually someone using my info to apply for a credit card, and not a loan, with a bank, without my knowledge. The Experian person didnt even bother to look at my file. They just kept throwing words out there like what loan did you apply for, whos the lender, etc. After 20 minutes of practically yelling at me, they hung up.

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.
