Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I have repeatedly over the course of many months requested a copy of the Purchase Agreement showing that XXXX XXXX purchased the alleged debt from XXXX XXXX XXXX. Acct # XXXX ; Amt off : {$860.00} XXXX and XXXX repeatedly misrepresent " verification '' in their unlawful responses ( including those to the CFPB ) by simply sending laser printed copies of statements without signatures allegedly from the account. This is not what I have requested. This is also not legal " verification '' of the debt. What I have requested ( and what I am entitled to ) is the legal Purchase Agreement to prove to me they have the right to enforce and collect this alleged debt. I wish to see proof they own the account, and review the terms of that Purchase Agreement, to ensure they are using accurate information in their currently unlawful practices. I RENEW MY DEMAND FOR A COPY OF THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT. They understand exactly what I am asking for. Yet the falsely pretend to be responsive to the CFPB by claiming they previously sent " verification '' to me. They have not sent any proof they own this account and have any legal standing to collect upon it. PLEASE DO NOT LET THIS COMPANY CLOSE THIS CASE AGAIN WITHOUT PROVIDING THE ACTUAL PURCHASE AGREEMENT REFERENCED ABOVE. I predict they will again mislead the CFPB unlawfully by claiming they have already " verified '' the debt with simple copies of statements, etc. This does not meet the legal standard to prove they own the debt. They continue to MISLEAD THE CFPB, and many consumers like me with falsified replies that fail to address the VERY SIMPLE REQUEST FOR THEIR PURCHASE AGREEMENT. Their ongoing fraud is a direct violation of the FCRA and FDCPA. I will continue to complain about this company until such time as they send me a copy of their legal Purchase Agreement. Until they prove their ownership of the debt, their negative credit reporting remains illegal and their illegal practices should be investigated. They knowingly engage in this type of fraud routinely as the victimize many consumers. I grant them permission to contact me if they wish for the limited purpose of assisting me in obtaining their Purchase Agreement and deleting their wrongful reporting from my credit reports.

Complaint narrative:
I attended The XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( part of the XXXX XXXX, or Ai, family of schools ), a subsidiary of XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), from XXXX to XXXX. In addition to federal student loans, I took out private student loans with XXXX ( now Navient ) totaling {$45000.00}. I have been regularly paying my student loans back for XXXX  years now, since XXXX, and have to date paid a total of {$64000.00}. 

Recently, I was a full class member of the XXXX v. XXXX court case, which provided forgiveness on my remaining federal loans, finding that my school and many other for-profit schools had defrauded the government in their loan practices. 

I came to be a class member of XXXX  v. XXXX after filling out my Borrower Defense to Repayment ( BTDR ) with the Department of Education. There my case revolved around 1. the high pressure sales tactics of the school and 2. the gross over estimates provided by the school for job placement and entry level salaries. These arguments can be found in the multiple court cases with XXXX  ( files attached ) wherein the school and overseeing corporation had a wide-ranging scheme to " enroll as many students as possible, and to keep them on the rolls for as long as possible, without regard to the students ' qualifications or their likelihood of graduation or career placement, in order to maximize financial aid from the United States Department of Education XXXX XXXX DOE '' ), which assumes the risk of delinquent student loans. '' I would argue that this practice applies to the private student loans as well.
