Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX, I contacted Experian to report fraudulent inquiries on my credit report and requested that they block the inquiries and update my report accordingly. However, Experian declined my request. I then spoke with XXXX XXXX, the company responsible for the inquiries, and they confirmed they had accepted two fraudulent applications in my name.

Following this, I reached out to Experian again to set up a fraud alert and dispute the fraudulent charges that have caused financial hardship. During the call, I verified all of my personal information through their automated system. After confirming my information with the initial representative, I was transferred to XXXX from the Specialist Service Department ( Fraud ). 

When XXXX requested my Social Security number, I informed her that I could not provide it verbally as I was in a hospital room with a roommate present. I explained that I had already entered all necessary information and asked if she could proceed with alternate questions for verification. XXXX, however, insisted she could not continue without my Social Security number, despite the fact that I was calling due to identity theft. I requested to speak with a supervisor, but XXXX refused to transfer me. 

Experian has been unhelpful in addressing these issues, failing to conduct thorough investigations or provide adequate protection for victims of identity theft like myself. Despite the serious nature of my compromised identity, I have received little to no support from their services.

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX  and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported in ( MONTHS REPORTING LATE ) to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: SOFI TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
State: WV

Complaint narrative:
Hello I have received a response from XXXX dispute team Im responding to this portion of the letter. 

Im extremely confused why XX/XX/XXXX was brought up because the card was reported lost on XX/XX/XXXX NOT XX/XX/XXXX. 

Transactions after XX/XX/XXXX of course they are not disputed because I didnt report the card lost then. 
The merchant that I have had history with during that time are valid ( before XX/XX/XXXX ) so I do not understand why XX/XX/XXXX were brought up. The charges that were occurred after XX/XX/XXXX that were valid are XXXX XXXX and XXXX ( those are subscriptions so they are already existing subscriptions before this date - i dont understand how Sofi do not understand this ). Those are not manual charges, they can see this on their end. 

Clearly Sofi is extremely confused and unorganized. Please do some research and not assume. 

This is my likelihood and my family, I know this case like the back of my hand. I have had to deal with you guys for over 6 months of XXXX. 

Manual payments are made because you guys are charging me insane amount of interest and also anything before XX/XX/XXXX are valid so why would I not pay those? Can you please explain that to me. 

If I didnt report my card lost until XX/XX/XXXX, there are interests accrued before this date of course I need to pay them down. But I will NEVER pay for things that I did not authorize. The interests I accrued before fraudulent charges I still need to pay, so Im baffled to your point in bullet point XXXX. Are you serious? If you guys would halt the interest when there is a fraudulent case going on like honest business then you would understand this. 

The charges in question are during XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. Again, please do not be confused get the dates correctly. This case is not going away until what is right is done right. 

If you need a refresher, here is the initial dispute case attached as well as well as the letter you sent to me. 

If you are a mother of 3 and struggling with current economy you would understand why Im extremely upset. And nobody is going to help me, and I know Sofi knows that and taken advantage of this case. 

Im not giving up on this.
