Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Public record information inaccurate
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I have a public record entry that was placed on my credit report and I have been trying for over 5 months to get this entry removed. I have spoken with numbers representatives, supervisors, and managers in regards to the erroneous public record and I have yet to get it resolved. This is my 4th dispute in which I am currently awaiting results. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called and spoke with a representative and inquired how XXXX  verifies their public records. I want to know this information because the public record keeps coming back as mine. I had 3 representatives that told me that the request/dispute is sent as a message to the courthouse through XXXX. Once the court verifies it, the information is sent back to the credit bureau. I advised that I would like to cancel that dispute and they advised that because the dispute was already sent to the courthouse, I will need to contact them with my name and the case number. Being that I work for a XXXX XXXX, I know the court system and their procedures, but decided to call anyway. 
Contacted the court and they advised that they do no disclose, release or verify any information with the credit bureaus or any 3rd parties. I decided to call XXXX back, spoke with another rep this time and they advised that the information is verified by the runner who goes to the court house. I asked what information does the runner give to the courthouse, and how and what kind of physical information does the runner give back to the credit bureau. They could not answer that, and I requested to speak with the manager. Manager advised since this is a re-investigation, no runner is involved. She advised that they use a form that they send over to the courthouse. I asked what type of form and where is it sent because the courthouse confirmed that they do not verify any information with the bureaus. XXXX refuses to give my physical documentation ( whether tangible or electronic ) that they use to verify this bankruptcy is mine.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I applied for a Merchant processing account with XXXX, also going by the name of XXXX XXXX, on XX/XX/2018. 

I specifically asked the salesperson prior to submitting my report if this was a soft or hard inquiry on my report, because I was going to be looking at buying a house soon, and did not want any hard inquiry done on it. I was completely and unequivocally assured it was not, that it was a soft inquiry, and proceeded to apply for the account. I am the owner of my company, so when we do this type of thing, it is my credit account that winds up being used. 

I then received a hard hit on my credit and was furious. 

I called the company and expressed my frustration but they initially denied that it took place. Then when I pressed them, I was given some run around excuse that it was because as a merchant account, the funds were held in a bank for a day and so they have to handle it like a credit application, which was total rubbish. They refused to remove it. 

I then contacted transunion, and much to my horror they stated that they only way why would remove the hard inquiry is if the issuing party sent them " a deletion letter ''. I explained that the company already refused to do so, and did a hard inquiry without my permission. They refused to remove the unauthorized inquiry. 

I am shocked and livid that I am not receiving the help that I need to remove this. 
Transunion is basically saying, that unless a criminal tells on themselves when they misuse your credit report, that they refuse to honor the consumers rights. That's insane and that's completely against my rights, as well as the law. 

I have contacted both parties on 3 occasions now, once in XXXX, once in XXXX, and once in XXXX, with no results. In fact when I dispute this with XXXX in XXXX, they closed my merchant account on the same exact day out of retaliation for attempting to resolve this. 

I've been through both identity theft, and tax fraud, and I absolutely need to make sure that my information is safe, and that people are not using my information in any way I did not authorize. 

Please assist me in removing this hard inquiry on my reports. I did not authorize it, and was not given accurate information or support by either entity. 

I do not know what documents to share, but the hard inquiry is on my report, and I have a copy of the letter sent to me by XXXX in XXXX in needed.
