Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting a formal complaint against Experian for failing to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ) by not addressing or correcting inaccurate information on my credit report despite my previous requests. 
On XX/XX/year>, I sent a formal letter to Experian to request corrections of personal information on my credit report, specifically as follows : Correct Address : The only valid address associated with me is : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, IL XXXX I request the removal of the following incorrect addresses currently listed on my report : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, IL XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX IL XXXX XXXX Correction : Ensure that my name appears correctly as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and remove any aliases or incorrect name variations.

To date, I have not received confirmation of receipt or any resolution from Experian, which fails to meet their legal obligation to investigate and correct errors within the 30-day period mandated by the FCRA. 
On XX/XX/year>, I am sending a second letter to Experian reiterating my request to ensure accurate and up-to-date information on my credit report.

I respectfully request the CFPBs assistance in reviewing this complaint to help ensure Experian upholds its responsibilities for the accuracy of consumer credit reports and complies with the legal requirements of the FCRA. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Experian. I have a freeze on my personal credit. I need to lift the freeze so a utility company can put service in my name. My log in to my Experian account now shows as invalid user/password. I have tried calling numerous telephone numbers to Experian to resolve the login issue and unfreeze my report. All numbers lead to an automated attendant that starts with an automated verification system that ultimately results in a message that it can not verify me and, therefore ; will not connect me to an agent. I need help to both fix my log in issue and unfreeze my report.

I hope you're doing well. I've run into a bit of a problem. While going through my credit report, I noticed some things that don't seem quite right, and it appears my identity have been stolen online. My nephew, who's studying computer science, helped me out by finding a way to check if my XXXX emails were involved in this breach. To my surprise, it turns out that 2 out of 3 of my emails contain a lot of my sensitive and personal information. I want to emphasize that I'm not the one behind these accounts. It would mean a lot to me if you could assist in removing the following from my credit report. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about and take immediate actions.

" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, XXXX XXXX XXXX conducted a hard inquiry on my credit report without prior authorization. The reason provided on the report was " credit transaction under permissible purpose. '' However, there was no legitimate purpose for this inquiry, as I was not contacted or consulted for permission. According to state regulations, soft inquiries are permitted for certain verifications, but this instance constitutes a hard inquiry performed without my consent. There was no credit transaction that occurred. 

As a loyal customer of XXXX XXXX for approximately XXXX to 4 years, I am concerned about the sudden and unauthorized hard inquiry. This action is particularly concerning as I am actively working to improve my credit standing. 

I kindly request an explanation for this unauthorized hard inquiry and assurance that appropriate measures will be taken to prevent such occurrences in the future. I value our business relationship and hope that we can resolve this matter promptly.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My spouse deposited a check from her Chase bank account into my Chase bank account. Chase Bank believed that the check should be put under scrutiny and restricted my account despite allowing the deposit to go through.

Money has essentially gone from one chase account to another, except now that money can not be accessed whatsover.

I have contacted Chase customer service 3 times to get the account restriction lifted, but Chase ' Fraud Department said they need to contact my spouse to confirm the check deposited was legitimate.

However, Chase ' fraud department is unwilling to contact my spouse to confirm this simply because her phone number is listed as " Unverified ''. They have explained that there is no way around this and that they are unable to call no matter what unless her number is verified. They have not offered any explanation as to what a " Verified Number '' is.

They have confirmed there is no way for her to reach out from her end to Chase to confirm the legitimacy of the check, as the account restriction and check scrutiny only applies to my account. 

Chase is essentially using obtuse methods and confusing terminology to hold my money ransom.

I urge ANYONE to use a banking service other than Chase for their needs. Chase, and by extension, J.P. Morgan will in bad faith hold your funds hostage for arbitrary reasons.
