State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

Complaint narrative:
Failure by Experian to block fraudulent accounts and inquiries after valid identity theft report submitted under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2.

Details of Complaint : I am a victim of identity theft. I submitted a formal dispute and FTC Identity Theft Report ( FTC Report Number : XXXX ) to Experian, requesting that they block and delete multiple fraudulent accounts and inquiries pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Along with the FTC report, I included : A government-issued photo ID, A copy of my Social Security card , A detailed list of fraudulent accounts and unauthorized inquiries.

According to the FCRA, Experian is legally required to block the disputed identity theft information within four ( 4 ) business days of receiving a valid identity theft report. However, Experian has failed to act, leaving these fraudulent items on my credit report despite clear documentation. 
I contacted Experian multiple times and explained that these accounts are fraudulent and were already removed by other bureaus. I asked Experian to provide documentation proving I authorized these accounts, but they have not provided any such evidence and have not removed the disputed information. 
This inaction is affecting my ability to obtain housing for my children and violates my rights under the FCRA.
