Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a dispute with all three credit bureaus ( XXXX/Experian/XXXX ) informing all parties such as the Credit Bureaus and the creditor that these accounts does not belong to me due to been a victim of identify theft during XXXX data benches. After notifying the credit bureau via online disputes/phone calls/letter notification I continuously receive notification stating " verify ''. I requested supporting documents from both parties requesting signature, contract, state license information and etc. Under the Fair Reporting Act I understand my rights as a consumer and verify the matching of my name and social does not coincide with verification. Consumer reporting agencies must correct or delete inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information. Inaccurate, incomplete or unverifiable information must be removed or corrected, usually within 30 days. However, a consumer reporting agency may continue to report information it has verified as accurate with accurate documentation be provided. I have submitted a claim with Federal Trade Commission regards to this issue. It is my right If a consumer reporting agency, or, in some cases, a user of consumer reports or a furnisher of information to a consumer reporting agency violates the FCRA, you may be able to sue in state or federal court.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX i filed a complaint/dispute with Experian in reference to a state tax lien that is being reported on my credit file. The lien has been deleted from the other XXXX credit bureaus as coming back as unverified from the state. Experian stated in their response to the XXXX/XXXX/16 dispute that you would respond by 30 days. 
you never supplied me with a response on the CFPB portal where the complaint was initially filed, but you stated in the initial response on ( XXXX/XXXX/16 ) * At your request to begin an investigation, we are in the process of contacting the public record vendor to verify the accuracy of the information with which you disagree. Please note that an investigation may take up to 30 days. Upon completion, the result summary will be provided directly to you for review. * A debt should be validated from the state that filed the lien not a PUBLIC RECORD VENDOR! thats how you choose to keep reporting but no other bureau will report it because it has not been verified by the state! A public record vendor can not be the one verifiying this debt- its against my rights to have someone/vendor verify a debt that is being reported against me. especially when they do not and can not supply any proof or documentation that indeed this debt is mine

I submitted a fraud dispute on XX/XX/2016. Equifax actually deleted the account from my credit report but Experian failed to conduct a proper investigation and the account still remains on my credit report. It only took Experian two days to complete my dispute request and states changes were made to my report but the account is still there without any changes.

Issue: Unable to get credit report/credit score — Problem getting my free annual report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
The information for consumers about contacting credit bureaus is almost worthless because the XXXX bureaus are primarily using this avenue to sell credit monitoring services. For example, Experian will only offer a consumer credit monitoring services or a credit freeze/unfreeze if a consumer seeking a 7 year fraud alert telephones Experian at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX per the CFPB 's webpage at XXXX. Plus, the online process to obtain annual free credit reports does not work although this is the mechanism the credit bureaus use for consumers who want a credit report after their credit card is hacked if the consumer has not exhausted the free annual credit reports ; either a consumer must submit a complicated written request for the credit reports or find a " back door '' at each of the XXXX credit bureaus ( e.g., a " trial '' subscription to Experian 's " Report and FICO Score '' service, which was accessible to me online for {$1.00} even through Experian required lots of paper documents from me to obtain my free annual report ). 

Incidentally, my Experian report number was XXXX after my report of credit fraud, and my Experian " Report and FICO Score '' membership number was XXXX. I have attached screen prints of my experience with the XXXX major credit bureaus to document that the online process and the CFPB 's information for consumers does not work well for consumers seeking a fraud alert after their credit cards are used fraudulently. ( My report of identity theft to the FTC has reference number XXXX. ) Please try to improve this system for other consumers. Fortunately, I am okay. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX

Complaint narrative:
I am putting another complaint on Experian because once again they continue to find ways to deny removal of the Federal Tax Lien they are reporting in which they got there information off of XXXX. I have confirmation from XXXX XXXX that the federal tax lien was removed from my risk file. I provided Experian the response from CFPB complaint XXXX from XXXX XXXX giving confirmation that the information was removed from my risk file with them. I have provided Experian with the police report filed, the form XXXX that I filed with the IRS, the response from IRS with receipt of my XXXX form, I provided them the response from XXXX showing the removal from where they originally obtained there information. With all of these supporting documents that uphold mt claim they continue to report and claim to verify this Tax Lien that is not suppose to be on my file. I am going to attach once again all the documents that I have supplied to Experian that only shows there unwillingness to help in the removal of fraudulent information that is on my file. They have provided only excuses and no clear answers. I am now requesting from them what vendor they are using to verify this tax lien. What is the steps and methods they are using in doing a legal full and accurate investigation. I am not asking for a generic template letter from them on how they do investigations. I want a specific list of steps that they took, including but not limited to the dates they contacted their vendor, the name of the vendor used and what was the steps. I would like to know if a website was used in trying to verify these tax lien and what is the address of the website. I have contacted the XXXX County Courthouse and I know it is not them providing the information so I do not want Experian to illegally tell me to contact the source when the court house was not the source used to verify the accuracy of the information. I also requested for Experian to remove the Fraud Alert from my file and provided identity verification documents for the removal of the fraud alert and yet it is still reporting on my file.

Complaint narrative:
I 'm currently homeless and I applied for a home on XXXX, CA. I was denied renting the home because there is an eviction showing on my tenant screening report. I 've reached out to the reporting company ( XXXX ) and advised them that case # XXXX was included in a chapter XXXX bankruptcy and was discharged on XXXX XXXX. The reporting company updated the tenant screening report to show as discharged. According to Experian credit report : " Your Experian credit report does not indicate that you have been evicted from your residence. However, your credit report could include a collection account for unpaid rent or lease payments, and as in your situation, a civil judgment if you were sued for breaking the lease. 
The court judgment will appear as a public record in your credit report and will remain for seven years from the filing date. Any public record item in a credit report would likely be considered very negative and could affect your ability to qualify for a new rental agreement. 
If included in bankruptcy, the judgment will be removed when the bankruptcy is discharged. You may want to submit documentation of the bankruptcy filing, discharge, and schedule of debts showing the judgment was included. A Chapter XXXX bankruptcy will continue to be reported for 10 years from the filing date, regardless of the discharge date. 
Any collection accounts discharged through bankruptcy are updated to show that they were included in the bankruptcy, but will still show the account history for seven years. 
Thanks for asking. '' The " Ask Experian '' team XXXX

I gave them a reason for each dispute and detailed explanations. They are attempting to stall the investigation and this is unfair! My name has been defamed because of the numbers erroneous accounts they are reporting. It is my right to dispute these items and by law they must investigate and respond.

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a public record on my credit reports with all XXXX credit bureaus on verifying bankruptcy information on my credit reports. I have submitted letters asking all three bureaus verify this public record and " send me copies of the documents listed in your files that were used to verify them. If you do not have any documentation in your files to verify the accuracy of these disputed accounts, then please delete them immediately as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) ( i ). '' I stressed the fact that " Under the FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681i, all unverified accounts must be promptly deleted '' I asked for copies of how they verified the information, who they spoke with, etc. The letters were sent to Experian, XXXX via certified mail. I 'm not sure if proper process was followed, but the only response I received was a letter stating that the accounts were verified. My initial request for documentation was completely ignored. I personally sent a letter to the US Bankruptcy Court and asked if my case had been verified by them and with whom they had spoken with and I was informed that they do not provide case information to anyone, including the credit bureaus. It is also my understanding that Under FCRA 603 ( o ) ( 5 ) ( A ) ( i ; iii ), unless I have authorized The Bankruptcy Court, Trustee, XXXX, etc to furnish any information pertaining to me to any third party or CB, they can not do do. So, how has my information been verified? If they have not verified the information or can not verify such said information and send documentation as requested, it must be deleted immediately. Experian, even basically told me that my dispute had been previously processed and they would not dispute again unless new information has been sent in. I was under the impression that they were supposed to dispute information as requested. This information is damaging to my reputation and credit worthiness.

Complaint narrative:
Barclay Bank reports account XXXX as derrogatory/delinquent on my credit report. I have sent a request on XX/XX/2016 and XX/XX/2016 requesting validation of debt, otherwise, Barclays must remove the reports from all XXXX credit bureaus. Barclays received my certified letters on XX/XX/2016 and XX/XX/2016. On both occasions Barclays was unable to validate my debt, however noted on my credit reports as " disputed '' or " consumer disagrees '' but it never provided evidence ( validation of debt ) of the debt belonging to me. A letter indicating they are researching or a computer print of credit card bills is NOT validation of debt. A validation of debt must bear my signature of said contract. Barclays failed to so in a timely matter. I have requested numerous times to remove the invalid information on my credit reports but Barclays have neglected to do so.
