Complaint narrative:
I'd like to file a complaint against Experian, the actual credit reporting agency. Experian often subjects end-consumers ( me included ) to dark patterns in regards to how properly manage their Experian credit report. 

See this blog post here : XXXX XXXX XXXX I am experiencing the exact dark pattern that is explained in this blog post. As the blog post points out, I am getting emails about a new " credit alert '' on my credit report. However, the only recourse available to view the alert is to sign-up for a paid service of Experian 's . Viewing my credit report is a free service ( at least once a year ), yet Experian makes it seem that I must pay and provides no clear alternatives to me. 

I find this to be a deceptive practice that Experian is employing and feel it needs to be stopped.

I sent a dispute letter to the Credit Reporting Agencies to remove the the fraudulent accounts and information from my Credit File in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act section 605b. I am now submitting a CFPB complaint regarding the same fraudulent items on my credit report. I have discovered several items on my credit report that I did not authorize or participate in. These items are damaging my credit score and causing significant financial harm. Specifically, the fraudulent items on my credit report include a credit account that I did not open, as well as several charges and loans that I did not initiate or receive. The total amount of these fraudulent items is significant and has had a negative impact on my credit score. I need the following items removed from my Credit File as soon as possible : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$8000.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I already disputed these items and yet the Credit Bureaus still indicate these items on my Credit File as if these items have been verified. If the Credit Bureaus believe that the disputed items legally belong to me, I request that they send me copies of documents to support such claims. In the absence of such documents, immediate removal of the disputed items is to be expected.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX sold a debt to Midland Credit that was not mine. This account was made fraudulently to my knowledge. I never opened an account with XXXX XXXX nor did I make any payments on any XXXX XXXX account with my bank account as they tried to claim. In XX/XX/2023 I requested statements to verify said account and I was informed by XXXX XXXX that they could no longer provide me with that information since the account was already sold to the debt collector. They began to garnish my checks at work in XX/XX/2023 regardless of my attempts to prove that the account was made through Identity Theft. It was a total of over XXXX that was ultimately collected by Midland Credit. The only information they gave me was that the address linked to the XXXX XXXX account was in XXXX, CA. I have never resided in XXXX, CA. I have resided and still reside in the same location for 23 years. I tried to explain that to them and let them know that I had been a victim of Identity Theft in the past. I am sending this complaint as a last resort to have this issue looked into as I am positive that I was not the Individual who opened an account with XXXX XXXX.
