According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify - through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract - any and all accounts you post on a credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account.

I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) you have on file of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the FCRA, unverified accounts must be removed and if you are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof, you must remove the accounts listed below.

Regardless of the multiple written requests, the ITEMS listed below are still reporting on my credit report which is a violation of FCRA. The Bureaus failed to comply with Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC sections 1681i within the time declared by law, they failed to properly investigate the matter by using a third party as their verification provider and have continued reporting the unconfirmed & unverified information. Given all my attempts to address it directly with XXXX CREDIT BUREAUS, they are willfully negligent and non-complying with federal statutes & I need this matter handled immediately.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NY)

My identity was stolen. Through an XXXX XXXX service I became aware that someone was trying to open accounts and set up credit cards in my name. I instantly froze my credit through XXXX, Experian, and XXXX. I also called each of the credit lenders I was aware of ( XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX ) to report the fraud. 

I then received an email from Experian indicating my email address linked to the account had been changed. I was then unable to log back into the account and Experian said my username did not exist, so I clicked " Forgot Username ''. After entering personal information I was told my username had been sent to a XXXX- which is not my email address. So I had no way to recover my account and it was likely that this person had unfrozen my credit through Experian. 

I have read that Experian has a unique vulnerability that neither XXXX nor XXXX have. A bad actor can simply create a new account using the stolen information ( SS #, name, DOB, and address ). 

I tried to copy this method and create a new account under my name, but the Experian website said it was having problems processing my request. I tried to call Experian. I was able to get in touch with a person who said the problem was being escalated and gave me an escalation number and said I would hear from someone else. I have not heard from anyone else and it is incredibly difficult to get someone on the phone at Experian.
