Subject : Complaint against Experian for Failure to Correctly Verify False Information Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian for their failure to appropriately verify false information on my credit report. I have previously disputed this information directly with Experian ; however, their investigation and response were insufficient. Therefore, I am seeking your assistance by filing this complaint with your bureau. 

The inaccurate information on my credit report pertains to [ describe the specific inaccurate information in detail ]. Despite my repeated attempts to dispute and rectify this false information with Experian, they have failed to conduct a thorough investigation or take appropriate action. As a result, this misinformation continues to adversely affect my creditworthiness and financial standing. 

I have provided Experian with all the necessary supporting documentation and evidence to substantiate my claim that the reported information is false XX/XX/XXXX. However, they have neglected their responsibility to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the information they report. 

I firmly believe that Experian 's lack of due diligence and failure to conduct a proper investigation and verification of the false information is a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Moreover, their actions have caused significant harm and inconvenience to me. Despite my persistent efforts, Experian has failed to address this matter satisfactorily. XX/XX/XXXX Therefore, I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau intervene in this dispute and take appropriate action against Experian to rectify the situation. I am seeking a thorough investigation into Experian 's handling of my dispute and their failure to correct the false information on my credit report. XX/XX/XXXX Enclosed with this complaint, you will find copies of all relevant correspondence, documentation, and evidence of my attempts to resolve this matter with Experian. I believe that a comprehensive review of these materials will highlight Experian 's non-compliance and negligence in their obligations under the FCRA. 

I sincerely appreciate your attention to this complaint and your efforts to ensure that Experian fulfills their responsibilities as a credit reporting agency. I kindly request your assistance in rectifying this situation and restoring the accuracy of my credit report. 

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further information or documentation to facilitate your investigation. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution to this matter. 

Thank you for your time and consideration

Issue: Opening an account — Unable to open an account
Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION (PA)

I opened a checking account on XX/XX/20. I set up a login and password, and was able to login. 

On XX/XX/20 I tried to login, and was unable to. I got a message " M & T has blocked online access to your accounts. If you would like to request that we reinstate access, or if you feel this block was placed in error, please call an M & T Online Customer Service Representative at XXXX ( Mon-Fri XXXX, Sat-Sun XXXX ET ). '' So I phoned and, after about 20 minutes on hold, spoke with XXXX. 

XXXX asked me to verify my identity by giving her the first 5 digits of my SS #. This is very suspicious, as usually I am asked for the last 4 digits. I gave her the first 5 digits, and she looked into my account. She said that she would send me an email to further verify my identity. 

Per the email, I received a text requesting a photo of my driver 's license. This is also suspicious. I took a photo of my drivers license and sent it to the number that texted me. Then I realized that the text asked me to click on the link in the text to send her a photo of my driver 's license. I clicked on the link, which brought me to a page explaining how to take a photo. I clicked on " continue, '' but it didn't continue - after several minutes the page still hadn't changed. This is also very suspicious.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

On XX/XX/2018, I ordered a copy of my credit report. Upon review, I noticed well over 30 unauthorized inquiries on my credit report. I immediately called each credit bureau and filed a formal complaint as well as the Federal Trade Commission so as to provide them the necessary information so as to have these unauthorized inquiries removed from my credit report. Well after 45 days of waiting I received letters stating that these inquiries have been verified and when I inquired as to how the bureaus stated they sent out emails or some sort of electronic communication asking were these inquiries made by me. They stated each company had responded as " YES '' but when I asked whom did they speak and what kind of physical evidence could be found they all said they didn't speak to anyone or review any documentation. I am completely baffled by this so they just sent basically a TEXT requesting the company in question do they KNOW me and those companies said YES. This is completely disturbing to know they did not truly validate these applications yet are reporting I made them. I supplied them with a copy of my utility bill, driver license, and social security card so they could validate said requests which I found in most cases were inaccurate or simply erroneous as the companies who made the inquiries did not have my personal information correct in ALL CASES yet the laziness of each credit bureau is of such they do not care or truly try to investigate such matters as serious as this. Please assist me in this most serious of matters.
