Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Public record information inaccurate
Company: LEXISNEXIS

Complaint narrative:
In early XX/XX/XXXX I was informed that my information in LexisNexis databases include the indication " PEP '' ( politically exposed person ). This information potentially affects my business liasons and is incorrect. 

I have been elected as a deputy of Legislative Assembly of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX for a five-year term. 
According to Part 2 Article 3 of the Law of the XXXX XXXX dated XXXX On status of the deputy of Legislative Assembly of XXXX XXXX the term of the powers of a deputy begins on the day of election and ends on the day the the new convocation of the Legislative Assembly of XXXX XXXX. 
Therefore I ceased to be a politically exposed person in XXXX, and have not been involved in any other matters which could qualify me as a political individual then and ever since. In other words, I have not been a politically exposed person for almost ten years, and shall not be classified as such. 

I informed LexisNexis of these facts and requested removal of my PEP status via e-mails and filing of the online forms on LN website ( case XXXX XXXX ; XXXX, XXXX ; XXXX, XXXX ), all in vain. To my requests I attached the following documents : passport scan ( for identification ), french residence permit and utility bill ( confurms my address ), legal opinion of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( which confirms the fact that according to the XXXXXXXX XXXX I ceased to be a PEP almost 10 years ago ). 

In the automated replies received from LexisNexis the latter requests the following : " In response to your most recent email received on XX/XX/XXXX, we ask that you contact the LexisNexis Consumer Center at XXXX between the hours of XXXXXXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX EST, Monday through Friday, and a representative will be happy to assist you. '' I tried to contact LN via phone, but no representative answered. The only answer was a robot requesting a social security number, which I do not have ( for I am not a XXXX XXXX  ). 

To my knowledge my PEP status in LexisNexis databases is still the same. And as a result ( bearing in mind current international political situation ) my business reputation and reputation of my relatives suffers. 

Please assist me in removal of the incorrect information about PEP status od XXXX XXXX from LexisNexis databases.
