Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (PA)

There is a business credit card with XXXX ( it was a MasterCard,  then XXXX converted it to a Visa despite the company 's objections ). Several times a few years ago, XXXX confirmed via its Secure Message Center that I am not personally liable for this account. Despite that, they are reporting negative information about that business account on my personal credit report. I've told XXXX about this, but they will not have this information removed from my account. They should have a record of the messages ( I think they were from XX/XX/XXXX) in their file, so there is no reason why they should make these mistakes. It's dropped my credit score from well over 800 to being in the 600 's. After complaining to a manager or supervisor, XXXX promised me on a recorded call ( and in a written response ) that they would pull all secure messages from my archive and provide them to me. I have that in writing and can provide that to the CFPB upon request. They now are ignoring this issue and claim that they can not get the messages they promised to me. Moreover, they confirmed that they do not have any signature of mine or anything verifying my identity for the opening of this account that supposedly was done using my social security number. There were other instances of fraud where they changed this account number, and they have no proof that I opened this account or that I ever agreed to be personally jointly and severally liable for it. Accordingly, they should take this account off of my personal credit report. XXXX should remove the reporting of this account from my personal credit reports ( Experian XXXX, XXXX, etc. ) and handle this with the company whose charge this belongs to. XXXX should also compensate me for the damage it has done to my previously impeccable credit report.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Hi, I am currently in the middle of purchasing a house. I am a veteran just trying to use a VA home loan to accomplish my goal. I have been approve based on my credit score with XXXX  but lack of reported credit and unwillingness of communication between credit bureaus and companies, even at my own personnal request, as well as between the credit agencies themselves is appalling. The only thing I was requesting was proper communication between all parties involved. 
My loan officer ran my credit reports from three credit bureaus. On all three reports there was missing information between the three. Experion, XXXX  and XXXX all had info on them that was not in the other. The report showed an open line of credit open on XXXX  but not the other two.Experion showed a child support balance, paid in full. And XXXX  showed another State child support also paid in full. What i asked of the bank showing the line of credit to report it to the other two credit bureas, they claimed they only report to XXXX  and refused to report to the other two agencies. When i contacted XXXX  they informed me that there was nothing they were willing to due to add the credit line to the report. Both Washington state and North Carolina State child support agencies informed me they report to only the one respective agency. When I requested the paid balances be reported to the other agencies they replied with the same answer of they refused my request. I have tried to get this issue resolved so i may be able to use my VA benefits to he best of my ability but feel as though there is no cooperation or willingness for a smple exchange of information. I am requestion assistance in resolving this issue in a timely matter due to the process of requiring a home for my family and I. 
Thank you -Time frame and date of incident is : Report generated XX/XX/2019 @ XXXX Attempted actions to correct issue : XX/XX/2019 between XXXX and XXXX ( Mountain Time )
