Issue: Credit monitoring or identity theft protection services — Didn't receive services that were advertised
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX, Iowa XXXX Subject : Dispute Regarding Falsely Advertised Credit Monitoring Program Dear XXXX I am writing to dispute the credit monitoring program that I received from Experian Identity Works as a result of a breach of security. Despite being promised this complementary service, I have not received any instance of credit monitoring from the company. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I was notified that my personal information had been compromised in a data breach. As a gesture of goodwill, the company offered me a credit monitoring program to help protect my identity and financial information. However, since enrolling in the program, I have not received any updates, alerts, or monitoring services as promised. 

I have made multiple attempts to contact Experian Identity Workd regarding this issue, but have not received a satisfactory response. I believe that the company has falsely advertised their credit monitoring program and has failed to provide the services that were promised to me. 

I am seeking assistance from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to help resolve this dispute and ensure that Experian fulfills their obligations to provide the credit monitoring services that were promised to me. I request that the CFPB investigate this matter and take appropriate action to hold Experian Identity Works accountable for their false advertising practices. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution of this dispute. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Public record information inaccurate
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against the credit reporting agenciesExperian, XXXX, and XXXXfor their refusal to disclose the method of verification for disputed public record items on my consumer credit file. This refusal is in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ), which mandates that credit reporting agencies must provide consumers with a description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the disputed information. 

Despite my repeated requests, the credit reporting agencies have not provided adequate information regarding how they verified the public record items on my credit report. This lack of transparency has significantly hindered my ability to rectify inaccuracies on my credit report and ensure that my credit profile is accurate and fair. 

Furthermore, I possess a letter from the Bankruptcy Court in XXXX, Maryland, which clearly states that they do not report to the credit agencies, nor do they verify and validate public record items on credit reports. This letter directly contradicts the credit reporting agencies ' claims of verification and raises serious concerns about the legitimacy of their verification processes. 

The specific provision in question, 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ), states : > A consumer reporting agency shall provide to a consumer in writing not later than 15 days after receiving a request from the consumer, a description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information disputed by the consumer, including the business name and address of any furnisher of information contacted in connection with such information and the telephone number of such furnisher, if reasonably available. 

I respectfully request that the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that the credit reporting agencies comply with the FCRA requirements. If the credit reporting agencies are unable to provide proper verification of the disputed public record items, they must immediately remove these items from my consumer credit file. The US Bankruptcy Court has made it clear that they do not report to the credit reporting agencies nor do they verify or validate such information. 

I urge the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau to hold the credit reporting agencies accountable for their obligations under the FCRA and to ensure that consumers are provided with the necessary information to dispute inaccuracies on their credit reports effectively. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution of my complaint.
