Consumer complaint received 2023-06-12
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Public record information inaccurate
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TN)

On XX/XX/2023 I sent a letter to Experian ( tracking # XXXX ) to remove the inaccurate public record they were reporting on my credit file. With my letter I enclosed a copy of the court 's response about credit bureau verification. I enclosed this because Experian claims to have verified with the courts that the information they're reporting is accurate. The letter I received from the court contradicts what Experian stated. I also enclosed a copy of the letter I received from the third party vendor XXXX XXXX listed on my credit report who Experian claims to also obtain information from. The letter I received from them also contradicts what Experian is reporting on my credit report. My XXXX XXXX consumer report shows NO BANKRUPTCY. So how did Experian verify a bankruptcy on my credit report with them? Experian responded with a post card stall letter and then I received an official response letter on XX/XX/2023. In their letter they are still reporting the inaccurate public record. I then follow up with a XXXX letter on XX/XX/2023 ( tracking # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) since they didn't comply with the first letter and asked them to explain the discrepancies I saw being reported with the inaccurate information. I also challenged where they were verifying/getting their information from and requested that they furnish me with the actual petition. Once again they did not comply. On XX/XX/2023 I also sent a Method of Verification letter to them with ( tracking # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) with return receipt request. They had XXXX days from the date they received the letter ( which was XXXX XXXX ) to reply. And once again, they did not comply. In the meantime I also file a CFPB complaint against them. My complaint was closed XX/XX/2023 with inaccuracies STILL being reported on my credit report and them STILL violating my lawful rights according to the FCRA.
