Complaint narrative:
I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Complaint narrative:
I have been attempting to apply for a credit card since XXXX, XX/XX/year>. I was able to very quickly and expeditiously unfreeze my credit and update my account and cell phone information with XXXX and XXXX. However, Experian 's system is a complete mess. The online login is useless as it does not recognize my changed passwords. Moreover, when i attempt to find another attempt to login, it does not recognize my birth date and social security. It provides a message that those two items do not match ( which is completely incorrect ). I am able to receive partial text messages to my new phone number but not when I am attempting to unlock my account. 

Experian provides NO customer service agent at all to help resolve this problem. The automatic, guided phone service is completely useless and goes through a loop of no resolution. 

Experian appears to provide no way of clearly and effectively communicating with a live customer service individual to correct and resolve issues. This lack of service affects individuals personal and financial lives. This is the worst customer service I have ever experienced.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FRCA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving Inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experians inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.
