Complaint narrative:
I have noticed several items on my credit report that I do not recognize. It appears that someone may have stolen my identity, as I did not authorize these accounts. I have previously raised this issue, and I am now requesting that these accounts be removed from my report immediately. The presence of these unauthorized accounts is causing me significant distress. They do not accurately reflect my credit history or financial management, and dealing with this issue has been challenging. If this matter is not resolved, I am prepared to pursue legal action to protect my rights and seek a resolution. These erroneous items on my credit report are significantly impacting my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and supporting my family. I hope we can resolve this issue promptly.

Complaint narrative:
I have had multiple fraudulent things come up on my credit account in the last year and half. Ive had to dispute them, file police reports, and consistently call the companies and credit bureaus to notify them of these situations. The last one that took place is a {$600.00} collections on my account for a credit card company that I have never signed up for. I called the collection agency, credit bureau, and tried to submit my police report Information MULTIPLE times on Experians website that does not work at all. Then when I tried calling multiple times couldnt get through to even talk to anyone because the automated system wouldnt allow me a real person and would hang up on me. I have frozen my credit account, taken all the necessary steps to get this fraudulent thing removed and the credit bureau keeps denying my dispute. I have tried to contact them for help, and clearly you can see on my account it has been compromised multiple times before, not only that, I told experian and the collections agency that the email and addresses this person used to sign up for a credit card doesnt match any of mine and they still have the address wrong on my credit report! I need to file a complaint against the credit agencies on how extremely difficult it is to get in touch with someone for guidance on what to do, terrible website, and lack of communication. I need this issue resolved and removed off my credit report and need the credit bureaus to better assist with this.
