Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My complaint is to bring to your attention some serious concerns regarding violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Privacy Act of 1974 in relation to the accuracy of consumer reporting and the handling of personal information. I have discovered numerous inaccuracies and discrepancies. According to the FCRA, consumer reporting agencies such as Experian are obligated to provide accurate and up-to-date information to consumers. My credit report includes several entries that are factually incorrect or outdated ( see attached for inaccuracies ). I urge Experian to conduct a thorough investigation into the accuracy of the information included in my credit report and take immediate steps to rectify any errors. I expect Experian to comply with the FCRA provisions by promptly correcting any inaccuracies and providing me with an updated, accurate credit report. Additionally, I have identified another violation pertaining to the Privacy Act of 1974. Personal information, including addresses, is a crucial aspect of consumer reports. However, I have noticed that my credit report contains non-mailable addresses, which are invalid and irrelevant. The inclusion of such addresses not only compromises the integrity of my credit report but also raises concerns regarding the security and privacy of my personal information.

I demand that Experian takes immediate action to rectify this violation by removing the non-mailable addresses from my credit report and ensuring that future reports do not contain any irrelevant or invalid information that may compromise my privacy. I request that Experian provides me with written confirmation of the steps taken to address these violations within 15 days of receiving this complaint. It is imperative that Experian upholds its responsibilities under the FCRA and the Privacy Act of 1974 to protect consumers ' rights and privacy.
