Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I XXXX XXXX am physically submitting this dispute. I am disputing the hard inquiries from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on my Experian credit file because I did not authorize, initiate, or consent to any credit application with these companies. Under FCRA 604 ( a ), a consumer reporting agency is prohibited from furnishing a consumer report unless the consumer initiated the transaction or provided explicit written authorization. I did neither. Under FCRA 609 ( a ) ( 1 ), I am demanding the documentation Experian relied upon to permit these inquiries, including the original application containing my wet signature or legally valid electronic consent. If Experian or the furnishers can not produce a signed authorization, then these inquiries are impermissible and must be deleted immediately. The U.S. Supreme Court in XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) made it clear that unauthorized access to a consumers private credit information constitutes a concrete injury and is unlawful. Reporting or allowing inquiries without proper authorization is also a willful violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681n. Because I never applied for credit with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and never gave consent for these inquiries, I am demanding their immediate deletion and written confirmation of the reinvestigation results as required under FCRA 611 ( a ).

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report.

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute fraudulent information listed on my credit report, pursuant to my rights under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, and to request the immediate block and removal of this information. For evidence, I have attached a copy of my FTC Identity Theft Report ( FTC Report Number : XXXX ). 
As stipulated by 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, upon the filing of an identity theft report, consumer reporting agencies are required to block any information identified by the consumer as stemming from the theft within four ( 4 ) business days. 
The following items on my report are a direct result of identity theft and must be blocked : XXXX XXXX - XXXX In compliance with 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I respectfully request that these accounts be immediately frozen on my credit report. This block must remain in effect for a period of no less than XXXX year, subject to extension, and during this time, no information related to these fraudulent accounts may be reported.

I have previously contacted the bureau on multiple occasions regarding these accounts, yet the matter remains unresolved. The continued presence of these inaccurate items is causing significant personal and financial hardship by obstructing my ability to secure financing for a home and other essential financial tools. Furthermore, these specific accounts have already been removed by other major credit bureaus after failing verification, which underscores the inaccuracy of their reporting. 
In accordance with my rights, I also requested verification documents and contract copies from the furnishing companies for these accounts. After the legally permissible period has elapsed ( over 60 days ), I have received no response. Given the lack of verification and their fraudulent nature, I respectfully urge you to facilitate the immediate and permanent removal of these accounts from my credit file.

Later, he informed me that their accounts team claimed I was ineligible for the {$300.00} bonus because I had already received a {$40.00} referral bonus. I never used a referral code nor opted into any referral promotion, and I was not given any explanation of how a referral code was supposedly applied to my account. On XX/XX/XXXX, the representative repeated the same explanation and could not clarify how this error occurred. I expressed concern that Novo was denying the advertised {$300.00} bonus due to an internal mistake that I did not authorize. On XX/XX/XXXX, an escalation XXXX ( XXXX XXXX stated that bonuses can not be combined and that a referral code was entered, again without providing evidence or an explanation. Novo continues to deny the {$300.00} bonus I signed up for, despite my meeting all requirements and not applying any referral code.
