Complaint narrative:
Was denied credit and the denial letter stated that LexisNexis reported a judgment. I requested my consumer file on XX/XX/XXXX. I received that entire file dated XX/XX/XXXX and found several errors. Incorrect spellings ( unknown ) of my name, incorrect ( unknown ) addresses, and two judgments one of which had one of the incorrect spelled names ( unknown ). I contacted LexisNexis via phone call on XX/XX/XXXX. I went through my file page by page line by line disputing incorrect information and was assured that it would be correct and that I would receive an updated report within 30 days. I received my Results of Investigation file on XX/XX/XXXX and realized that nothing was removed. I call and spoke with another rep ( a guy ) this time and went through my file again line by line, page by page and asked him how was this judgment verified. he insisted that it was Public Records and that was how they verified it via that database. I told him that I had spoken with the courts and the clerk could not find any judgments for me after I had given her my drivers license number, my social security number, and my full name. He informed me that he would open a Reinvestigation and forward it to the ESCALATION Department. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a third copy of my file and again nothing was deleted or verified. I then sent a certified letter asking for verification method, the names and phone numbers of people they may have contacted to verify and listed every error in detail with the page number in which they could be found. Again, I asked that this incorrect unverified information be removed. I received a response dated XX/XX/XXXX that said everything was verified and that I should contact the courts and have them update their system. I called the Justice of Peace XXXX XXXX - XXXX Court and spoke with XXXX ( XXXX ) and was told again that there was no way to verify the judgments that LexisNexis is reporting because those files were in " storage '' and that some one would have to physically go retrieve them and that the judge is the only person that could do it because these are personal confidential files. I called LexisNexis again on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke with XXXX and asked how was this verified and she told me the same thing about it coming from Public Records but when I ask what Public Record if the court that they say has the judgment is telling me that they do n't have verification to provide me how is it that LexisNexis is getting verification? She told me that she would open ANOTHER Reinvestigation and forward it again to the ESCALATION department. I sent another certified letter on XX/XX/XXXX asking for written proof of verification and for the unverified information and incorrect names and addresses to be removed. I have denial letters for Insurance Coverage from XXXX and denial letters for car loans with reasons being adverse information provided by LexisNexis.

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
