Complaint narrative:
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.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Issue: Credit monitoring or identity theft protection services — Received unwanted marketing or advertising
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I signed up for a basic credit monitoring service and I was bombarded with free add ons for identity protection and dark web monitoring. As I am going through a divorce I am going through my financials with my attorney and realized there has been theft on my accounts including EXPERIAN. Someone got access or the company itself without my consent boosted my membership to a top tier credit monitoring service and I was also locked out of my account. When I called to fix this situation they constantly put me on hold and passed me off to numerous departments. I spent probably XXXX minutes on the phone. They could not tell me who/how/when the fraud occurred. They could not remedy the situation at all other than credit my account for the fraudulent charge. I just received my credit reports and experian inquiries are all over the place. Someone has had access to my information and the damage is crippling. I had to close all my bank accounts. My car payment went into default. I had to switch my telephone number 4 times until finally I had to close my account with XXXX and get a new provider. I am on the brink of needing a new social security number. This company was deceitful and I paid dearly.
