Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I've recently mailed out a dispute letter to Experian regarding accounts on my consumer report that isn't mine and doesn't have authorization to be reporting. They responded that these accounts were verified but never did they provide me any documents that give these accounts consent to report. I am aware that I have a right to privacy and with these accounts reporting without my permission is a violation on Experian behalf for not actually providing verification for these accounts. I asked you to investigate them and you can't provide to me any documentation with my signature. I understand that it is your duty to assure that any information reporting to my consumer report should be accurate and verifiable in which you failed to provide to me any documents. I demand that any accounts or information listed in my dispute letter be removed from may consumer report immediately or Experian will be held liable for any damages. How can I owe a debt if these was never a mutual agreement? Where's my authorization for these creditors to purchase my personal information and share it with anyone?

XX/XX/2023 To whom it may concern, I have been dealing with financial issues as of XX/XX/2023 due to medical reasons, and I fell behind on my bills.

I agreed to one form of payment yet knowing that I would have some issues paying it because of other obligations that I have to consider. I don't know what to do, and I really struggling to find help in my situation and Discover is not offering this to me.
