Issue: Incorrect information on credit report — Account status
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
Our home ( primary residence ), as a result of XX/XX/2008 crisis, was sold at a Short Sale. The home is located in Arizona, an anti-deficiency state. More than 2 years has elapsed and our credit is now reasonable ( XXXX ) per XXXX but each of the XXXX reporting agencies show the mortgage debt which was with XXXX XXXX Bank as " Settled for less than full balance ''. My understanding is that applicable law in anti-deficiency jurisdictions is that the language under these circumstances should be ( Paid as agreed } and while I have exhausted every complaint and supervisory board request involved with XXXX Experian, XXXX and XXXX, none has agreed to alter the statement concerning my short sale to Paid as Agreed. it is my understanding that since a borrower is not personally liable for a loan such as this, it is inaccurate for the lender or the credit reporting agencies to report the short sale as anything other than " paid as agreed ''. The XXXX XXXX loan was # XXXX with a physical address of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Arizona XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I was contacted by XXXX XXXX some time back concerning a debt owed to XXXX.

I have paid them a total of about {$1700.00}, paid consistently on a monthly basis. I am a member of the class action. XXXX is famous for illegal collection practices. The FTC will verify this as well. I am requesting they return my money, cease collection efforts per the XXXX XXXX XXXX, and FTC. Thank you so much

Complaint narrative:
I applied for Experian social security and credit protection. I submitted {$5.00} via debit card to Experian to allow XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ex XXXX ) to verify my credit score Experian told me that my account would be open foe 90 days until XXXX XXXX, 2016. XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX XXXX could not access the account to verify my credit score. Experian then told me to have XXXX call a number XXXX credit file services that never replied to XXXX. I then had a conference call with XXXX and Experian and the Experian person told both XXXX XXXX XXXX and myself that within next XXXX hours XXXX XXXX XXXX could submit request for verifying my credit score. Once again Experian rejected the credit verification. The remaining option is to pay Experian {$15.00} to fully release my account from being held hostage. IF THIS IS HAPPENING TO ME it could be very well happening to millions forcing the {$15.00} payment for release of account. If this is not a systems and procedural failure by Experian then it may be potentially something more serious worthy of investigation.

Complaint narrative:
My information was compromised and used to obtain medical and other things. I '' ve noticed collection accounts on my credit report that are fraudulent. I 've submitted information to the credit bureaus however they do n't really seem to care too much. They 've helped some but XXXX and XXXX.. just to name a few really do n't care. I battled XXXX about 2 years ago and have not had time to address this until now. Hoping this will bring some relief. Noticed fraud items beginning in 2014 but like stated earlier too much in life was going on. I received letters from XXXX for our prepaid card and XXXX XXXX so I figured it was from this but this was just something that might have released. No One knows who stole my identity bc no cameras and police said it 's hard to track unless they use it local.

Complaint narrative:
Over three year 's ago ; I went through a Civil Litigation with XXXX XXXX XXXX, in which I though was resolved. The problem that I 'm currently experiencing is that XXXX XXXX XXXX and Experian Credit Bureau is reporting inaccurate information on my credit report, in which I 've explained to Experian numerous of time. From my understanding if a creditor does n't report correct information on a consumer credit file it is assumed to be illegal and MUST be removed immediately. In my case XXXX XXXX XXXX is n't reporting their information currently. First, and foremost I no longer owe the amount that they are currently reporting on my credit file, which is cause tremendous harm to my credit report and credit score. Furthermore, it increases my debt to ratio in a negative way, which also impacts my overall credit report and score. If XXXX XXXX XXXX and Experian can not report accurate information on my credit file is it against the law? I would like for this information to be removed from my credit report immediately. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
