Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MA)

This is my second complaint filed in regards to Experian Credit Reporting Agency. 
I waited 2 months for a response and all I got was a long explanation explaining how the credit agency works and how scores are determined. This was not what I filed a complaint about. 

Please correct the error Experian made to my account. 
I filed a dispute with Experian. The dispute was in regards to the way EXPERIAN was reporting information they already had on my account. 
The dispute was directed, about, and sent to EXPERIAN regarding EXPERIAN. 
But when Experian recieved the dispute they apparently did not read it correctly and instead of correcting the way they where reporting this account on my credit history, they sent a notice to this old account at XXXX stating I was disputing this account even exsisted or that it was not mine! This was not what I was disputing. 
Therefor XXXX sent back to Experian confirmation of the account being mine, which Experian then reknewed this old account which had the devastating effect on my credit score dropping it by XXXX points! 
This error was made by Experian and Experian needs to add XXXX points back to my credit score due to the error they made! 

Experian was wrong in the way they where reporting this account on my credit history by adding the " CLOSED '' account information in with my " OPEN '' account information! 
My credit report states I have 5 open credit card accounts when I only have 4! 
and my current open account balances total less than {$1000.00}. EXPERIAN lists my debts on OPEN accounts to be over {$10000.00}! 


This figure and information are wrong! This is a Deceptive practice by Experian! 
I want it fixed ASAP! 


I have already attached numerous photos of the reporting error in my prior complaint regarding this matter. Please look to those if needed.

I've noticed unfamiliar items on my credit report that suggest possible identity theft, as I did not authorize these accounts. I've raised this issue previously and now urgently request that these accounts be promptly removed from my report. Their presence is causing me significant stress. These entries do not reflect my true credit history or financial habits, complicating my efforts to manage this situation. If this matter is not resolved satisfactorily, I am prepared to pursue legal action to protect my rights and seek a resolution.

I've learned that the creditor didn't provide the necessary 21-day notice along with a statement, which would have given me enough time to process payments and avoid late fees on these accounts. This mistake has caused a misrepresentation of the payment status, indicating a billing error by the creditor.
