Consumer complaint received 2024-09-12
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MI)

The FCRA obligates Experian to report accurate accounting. I, the consumer, advised that ALL of the inquiries reported were fraud and that the company had 4 days according to LAW to remove such items. FTC fraud report was filed on behalf of the consumer. The consumer is now requesting, for the second time, Experian to provide the documentation used to determine that the consumer indeed authorized the inquiry. Experian has 15 days to provide, in a written statement mailed to the address above, the name of the person spoken to, documentation used, and the signed application with the consumers wet ink signature. The consumer is NOT asking for an e-oscar report. If Experian, does not have documentation to show these were in fact authorized, all of the inquiries must be removed ASAP. Said company is liable under the SEC to follow certain rules.
