Consumer complaint received 2024-04-08 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Several weeks ago I requested a copy of my credit report after being notified by the IRS that I was the victim of identity theft. Upon inspecting my credit report, I discovered 3 items on the report that I did not recognize. I wrote a letter to Experian notifying them that I was disputing the accuracy of the items, as well as requesting that they place a freeze on my credit report. I included a copy of the applicable police report and provided a copy of my driver license to establish my identity. On XX/XX/2024 I received a letter from Experian. The font is so small that a person with average eye sight would have great difficulty reading it ( an entire 2 paragraphs only take up a few lines on the page ), much less an XXXX individual.This makes it very difficult to read the letter to determine what actions are needed. Upon receiving assistance in reading the letter I learned that Experian had decided that the letter had not been written by me and they were therefore declining to take any action on it. This is despite the fact that I included a copy of my police report, as well as my driver license, and even signed the dispute letter. Experian is attempting to flaunt the law by : 1 ) arbitrarily deciding that disputes are not being filed by those whose names are on the credit report, and ; 2 ) providing notices in a font that is well below that which could reasonably be read, again, in an attempt to avoid being required to perform actions they are required to do under state and federal law.

Complaint narrative:
While checking my most recent credit report, I noticed credit inquiries that I did not authorize, made by the following companies : Inquiries : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Under the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act XXXX specifically 15 USC 1681 section 602 a, it is unequivocally stated that consumer reporting agencies must exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a deep respect for the consumer 's right to privacy.

As the consumer in question, I am asserting my right to ensure that my private information remains confidential, as reinforced by 15 USC 6801, which declares that financial institutions have a continuous obligation to respect customer privacy.

According to 15 USC 1681 section 604 a section 2, a consumer reporting agency may only furnish a consumer report under specific circumstances, one of which is in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer. It is imperative to note that both the financial institution ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) and the consumer reporting agencies, XXXX and transunion, XXXX, lack my consent and certainly do not possess my written consent to furnish this information. I hereby revoke any and all forms of consent, whether verbal, non-verbal, written, implied, or otherwise. 

Furthermore, as per 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ), a financial institution is prohibited from disclosing nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party without providing the consumer with an explanation of how they can exercise the nondisclosure option. The ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) failed to inform me of my right to exercise this option, thereby violating the law.

The reporting of adverse information without my permission is also a breach of 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ), which explicitly prohibits consumer reporting agencies from including adverse items of information that antedate the report by more than seven years. XXXX and XXXX are in violation of this provision. 
Moreover, 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A asserts that no person shall furnish information to a consumer reporting agency if they know or have reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. XXXX transunion and XXXX are falling short of maintaining reasonable procedures, as mandated by 15 U.S. Code 1681e, which requires consumer reporting agencies to have procedures designed to avoid violations and limit the furnishing of consumer reports to specific purposes.
