Issue: Credit monitoring or identity theft protection services — Problem with product or service terms changing
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (VA)

I have an account with Experian for credit monitoring due to a past data breach. 

I also have my credit report Frozen with all three bureaus. 

Experian 's website for credit monitoring is highly misleading in that it indicates that my credit report is " unlocked '' - as if someone could access my frozen credit report. 

They are apparently showing this in an effort to scare their customers into using their unlock/lock credit service instead of managing access via a Freeze. 

Since my report is frozen, this indication of some type of access 'risk ' indicated on their website is misleading and false. 

Realizing that credit monitoring systems rely on their customer 's fears of fraud, it seems excessive that they would try to further scare their customers with a nonexistent risk. 

What can be done to get them to stop misleading their customers in this manner?

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

After reviewing my Equifax credit reports, I noticed several discrepancies related to accounts opened and balances owed. I contacted Equifax on XX/XX/XXXX to open up a dispute on the balance reflecting on two accounts. The first, on my XXXX   XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Equifax is reporting {$29000.00}. The second was for a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX loan that reflects open with a balance of {$340.00}. Equifax emailed me on XX/XX/XXXX stating that the investigation was complete, verified and accurate. This information is absolutely false, and a direct violation of my FCRA rights. I am unsure how Equifax can make false statements and claim they verified information in 2 days, with 1 of those days being a holiday. 

The balance on my auto loan as of XX/XX/XXXX is {$19000.00}. This is a {$10000.00} difference that is affecting my ability to get approved by lenders. The second account, the installment loan, has been paid to a {$0.00} balance and closed as of XX/XX/XXXX so for an entire year, Equifax has reported incorrect information and when it was brought to their attention, they failed to do a thorough investigation, which has caused incorrect information to continue to reflect on my report.

Company: Clarity Services (TX)

On or around XX/XX/2019. I received an alert from my credit monitoring that a new inquiry for a personal loan had been added to my report. I immediately disputed the fraudulent inquiry, the inquiry was made through Clarity Services INC. they are a low budget credit reporting agency operating out of XXXX, Florida. several people have tried fraudulently to open personal loans in my name using Clarity Services INC . The inquiry was removed through XXXX  the major credit reporting agency. I then attempted to place a freeze on my credit report with Clarity Services, INC. I followed the Clarity Services INC procedure to initiate a freeze by completing their SECURITY FREEZE REQUEST FORM and mailing it to Clarity Services , Inc. XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX. They send me a letter stating that they need my full name, DOB and Social Security, all of which were provided to them on the credit freeze form they require you to use. I believe that Clarity Services is misusing consumer information and then making it impossible for someone to stop them by refusing or making difficult for consumers to place a permanent freeze on their own reports. I have also tried to resolve the issues with clarity services about the fraudulent inquiry but the telephone customer service representative refused to provide me with information, again showing how difficult it is to remediate fraudulent information with their company,

In the quiet humdrum of everyday life, a sudden jolt shattered the tranquility : I had become a victim of identity theft.

With each fraudulent transaction and unauthorized account, the breach of trust cut deep, leaving me grappling with the unsettling reality of a violated identity. Yet, in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of resilience emerged, a resolve to reclaim what was rightfully mine and restore the harmony stolen by unseen adversaries.

I have disputed the referenced accounts to the 3 main credit bureaus and do not owe your company anything. I dont know this company and I do not recall ever having this debt and appears to be fraud, see attached FTC Report. Moreover, no adequate information has been given and noticed these accounts appear to violate my rights as well, per 15 USC 1692 ( e ) ( f ) ( g ). Moreover, you stated the account was verified as accurate by law 15 USC 1681 ( e ). Per 15 USC 1681 ( e ) The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer. Investigations weren't completed as described by law and no factual information should be on credit reports. Im requesting the removal of accounts and/or monetary compensation due to violations of my rights. Im currently seeking litigation regarding consistent harassment, unfair debt practices, adding without my permission/authorization within 5 days, and more. As the original creditor, only I can validate the debt therefore Im requesting removal and this account violates my consumer rights in several ways. Please remove and provide some updates within 4 days of receipt, as this has been ongoing for over 3-4 months.
