Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I worked for a company that had an XXXX XXXX account and that issued employees cards. If an employee used the card for personal purchases, then the company policy was to pay XXXX XXXX directly for the amount used. Which I an other employee 's did. The company went under during Covid and I began getting notice 's and bills from XXXX XXXX addressed to me personally. Mind you I have never had a personal XXXX XXXX card or account and in fact was denied a card the only time I applied. I Made disputes which XXXX  replied to the credit bureaus that it was legitimate without supplying a copy of the application or any personal identifying information. I notified the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and Experian at least adjusted my credit score but did not remove the false delinquency information. The other two agencies still have my score over XXXX  points below Experian ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX responded to me that since I paid my portion of the Bill I was responsible for the balance of the Company 's bill! I spoke with a person who would only provide her first name, XXXX, and she said its their policy. It's a crime to tell a deliberate falsehood to a regulatory type agency like credit bureau 's. I questioned if the other former employee 's were also targeted and they would not answer. But my contact with them disclosed that none of them contacted received any deliquencies from XXXX XXXX. The company was a S-corporation with its own tax id number and the law provides XXXX XXXX with a way of addressing the corporation. XXXX XXXX choose to notify the credit bureau that the accounts were closed but in doing so the closure remains as a delinquency on my personal report. a delinquency that has been closed is still a delinquency in the eyes of other creditors. I have been denied the smallest of credit lines and denied the ability to refinance my mortgage with the historically low interest rates because of this action. i know that XXXX XXXX is a large corporation but they should not have the right to submit false unsubstantiated delinquencies without governance. I would like your help in having the false information completely removed from all of my credit reports. Closing of the account is not removal from the report. if the CFPB is unable to have the credit bureau 's correct clearly wrong delinquency information on a Credit Report, then it's effectiveness is limited at best and useless at it worse. 
My research shows that this is a new agency and therefore XXXX not be fully aware of the effect that actions like mine have on a persons credit life, but I also found it that the creation of the Bureau was for such a time as this. Thank you for your time and anticipated help in this very important matter.
