Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I requested all 3 credit report bureaus to put a credit freeze on my credit report back in XXXX. My phone numbers have been on the DONOT CALL List since XXXX. I have been getting spam calls since XXXX. The past year, I have been politely conversing with these perpetrators to find out why they are refusing to oblige by the DONOT Call List and how they are getting my phone number and personal information. Several of these perpetrators told me they are getting it from XXXX and especially from Experian. Also, these spammers are 3rd party and when I would say, yes let me talk to an agent, they patch me directly to the company really selling the product. So, these legitimate companies : XXXX, XXXX XXXX Medicare Benefits XXXX etc are using a 3rd party to get people like me to talk to them. I contacted both Experian. I have 3 different PIN numbers from Experian, and they told me the pins are wrong. My password questions are incorrect according to them.. I contacted XXXX and they played the same game. They do not recognize my pin number from XXXX and my answers to their security questions were incorrect. ( I think I know my own security questions since i selected them ). Now XXXX billed me for {$29.00} for their Identity Theft. I never placed an order!
