Complaint narrative:
Experian XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Tx, XXXX In addition to everything listed below, Experian allegedly can not read or accept 2 government issued photo IDs, social security card, and a credit card system tax proof of ID, Social, and residence. Who gave them the right to gaslight documents sent via certified mail and issued directly from the government that allows them to exist?!?! Proof is attached. 

I reached out to experian via certified mail regarding a few accounts that they said were verified. In the letter I asked for all of the following : XXXX XXXX : The method of investigation Proof from the lender Proof of any payment made by me to the lender The business name and address of the lender along with the contact name for the Lender Any copies of any documents proving that I have any obligation to Global Lending Actual investigation and no e-Oscar Possible Finance : The method of investigation Proof from the lender Proof of any contract made by me to the lender The business name and address of the lender along with the contact name for the Lender Any copies of any documents proving that I have any obligation to Possible Finance Actual investigation and no e-Oscar XXXX The method of investigation Proof from the lender Proof of any payment made by me to the lender The business name and address of the lender along with the contact name for the Lender Any copies of any documents proving that I have any obligation to XXXX XXXX investigation and no e-Oscar. 

Experian has not mailed me anything. Theyve completely ignored the dispute. Its not important to them. Theyre betting that I would take no further action because theyre bigger than Congress and the law. 

They sent me an email saying not only are they not going to process the dispute but that they dont have to reach out to the lender at all. 

They are willfully allowing inaccurate information onto my report. They have completely failed to comply with the fcra. This is a failure to investigate and modify. This is a total Failure. 

I have attached proof of everything. Experian is pulling a XXXX XXXX because they know no one cares enough to stop them!
