Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them "

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I have an Experian membership account. I know the correct username and password. However, after logging in, it immediately goes to a screen saying it will send a verification code by text to my phone. My phone number changed. I no longer have access to the phone it is sending it to. 

When I call the customer service line, they ask first to verify identity. I put my correct social sec #, then zip code, then numerical digits of my address ( as prompted ). The system just goes into a loop, saying " we'll need to verify your identity first ''. I can not get out of this loop. When I ask for a representative it says it can not put me through until verification. I've tried repeating it, pushing various numbers, going through all the menus. Eventually the automated system hangs up on me!! 

I've researched a handful of various customer service lines online and called them all. Eventually, the same thing happens. I sent an email to a help box I found on their website, I got an automated message saying the email is no longer monitored. 

I've tried the reset password options, the " login a different way '' option, it always comes back to sending a code to my old phone number. 

Online search reveals that MANY other consumers have experienced this exact issue and I can not find any resolution. 

Therefore, I can not unfreeze my credit ( I had previously frozen it via my online account when I had access via my old phone ).
