Company: LEXISNEXIS
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023, I attempted to sign up on yelloh.com for a grocery home delivery service, presumably payable by paypal or debit card like other grocery deliveries. I did not sign up for any sort of credit account or credit card. To the best of my knowledge and recollection, I had never before signed up for an account with yelloh.com. 

I was therefore shocked and alarmed to be presented with this " identity verification '' screen that asked several questions that are of the type I have only seen previously when accessing my credit reports online. However, it baffles me that this information is so outdated as to be irrelevant, more than XXXX XXXX XXXX and should not be appearing on any credit report, and even more confusing as to why a common online retailer, with which I have no credit or other business relationship, has access to this information. 

I believe that this company is engaged in intentional identity theft, and has committed fraud in accessing my credit reports without any permissible purpose. 

Why does a cash for goods or services online retailer, or anybody, need to know the house number or street where I lived when I was XXXX XXXX XXXX? Why is any credit reporting agency sharing this information, and by what means, and which credit reporting agency is doing this? 

On XX/XX/2023 I called the yelloh customer service phone number, and spoke to a representative named " XXXX '' and requested a copy of my signed consent for them to access my credit reports -- any credit report -- and I asked for the name of the credit reporting agency they had accessed. XXXX stated that she didn't know, didn't know the name of any supervisor at her company, didn't know the phone number of any XXXX relations, and " would have someone call me back '' in XXXX or 3 days. I find this entirely unacceptable. XXXX also had my physical address and other personal information, even though I hadn't given it to her, I have no idea who XXXX is, who else she is sharing my information with, and the invasive creep factor of this company is almost palpable. 

I was denied shopping at an online retailer based on information contained my credit report, even though I had not applied for any form of credit whatsoever, and intended and expected to pay cash or debit for the purchase. 

This is a demand for yelloh to immediately release to me of any signed copy of any consent to access my credit report, and define their permissible purpose for doing so, and the name of the credit report agency which furnished this information.

Complaint narrative:
All 3 credit bureaus do not respond to complaints, they do not review evidence mailed or uploaded, they don't update my credit score properly, they don't provid me dispute results or a copy of my report. It has been more than 30 days for a few complaints and I even have called them and get the run around. They are required by law to do very specific tasks and they do not. I've provided mountains of data and evidence certified mail and uploaded into their system as an example for XXXX XXXX XXXX and they refuse to remove it from my report! I don't have evidence of validation, a cease and desist was mailed by my lawyer and it is to be removed until further notice. This is one example of failure to comply. Litigation will be pending by XX/XX/2023.
