Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (WA)

Experian ( and XXXX while we're at it ) both have a ridiculous policy of disallowing credit reporting disputes online if you've EVER submitted a dispute for the same data furnisher EVER in the past. 
Both of these agencies only allow you to dispute by phone when you're blocked from doing it online and both also go OUT OF THEIR WAY to make it impossible to reach them via phone to resolve the issue when that is the only option a customer has ( besides sending a snail-mail letter in 2023 ). 

I tried calling Experian this morning and even though I am a paid member of their credit monitoring service, I was presented with an interactive voice response system that was more than XXXX steps deep. This same system also asked me the same questions over and over again after transferring me to different IVRs. At no point could I reach an actual person, even when pressing " XXXX. '' If I'm a paying member, I should have the right to expect better customer service than this. 

I'm also deeply suspicious of a credit reporting agency reserving the right to REFUSE to investigate a consumer-initiated dispute at all -- especially when the amount of time between disputes and/or when the reason for the dispute are both vast and different. 

The last time I filed any kind of dispute regarding this account was more than 2 years ago and the reason wasn't even the same as what the issue is now. What's worse -- the data furnisher DID fix the error that I reported back then, but Experian claimed nothing changed and incorrectly states " dispute resolve -- consumer disagrees '' on this account. 

( I have proof that the furnisher did change the incorrect information, so Experian is actually in the wrong in this case ).

" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''
