Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Im reaching out because theres an account showing up on my credit report that does not belong to me. This account appears to be the result of mixed or merged credit information, and it is very clear that this account is tied to someone elses identitynot mine. 

I want to make this absolutely clear : I have no association whatsoever with the account in question. I did not open it, I have no connection to the person who did, and I should not be held responsible for their financial activity. Somehow, my credit file has been inaccurately combined with another persons information, and this is now negatively impacting my credit profilethrough no fault of my own. 

This is not just a mistake ; its a serious error that violates the accuracy standards required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Under the law, you are obligated to ensure that every item reported under my name is 100 % accurate and verifiably connected to me. In this case, that standard is not being met.

I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

Complaint narrative:
Experian continues to decline to remove negative inquires from my account. Some of the accounts are already settled and they continue to show them on my credit profile. These accounts are causing a hindrance to my livelihood and my ability to proceed in this life as a living man to seek opportunities to provide for myself and my family. Negative accounts that are closed that are outdated are still being reflected on my account. I contacted them and they deny that these negative accounts will impact my livelihood. I do not know what else to do.
