After receiving a email from Equifax notifying me that my personal information has been compromised in a their data breach. I discovered negative and unauthorized information on my credit report, and immediately contacted Experian, Equifax and TransUnion to dispute the items in question. I provided the necessary documentation to support my claim, explaining that these debts were not incurred by me and that they were a result of fraudulent activity linked to the Equifax breach. Despite my efforts, Experian, Transunion and Equifax denied my case, asserting that the information had been " verified '' and leaving the fraudulent entries on my credit report. This denial has caused significant distress, which has been negatively affecting my financial stability and mental well-being, as these negative marks are damaging my credit and financial standing. Specifically, I face multiple instances of being denied services, including credit applications and other essential opportunities. I believe that Experian, Transunion and Equifax has not fully investigated the potential fraudulent activity tied to the Equitax data breaches and I am seeking further assistance to correct the errors on my report. I remain committed to resolving this matter and protecting my tinancial well-being.

Complaint narrative:
Im writing to demand immediate action regarding an account that has been incorrectly included in my credit report. This account does not belong to me. It is very clearly a case of mixed credit file information, and somehow, someone elses account has been wrongly linked to my personal credit history. 

Let me be XXXX clear : This is not my account. I did not open it, I have no association with it, and it should never have been connected to my credit profile in the first place. The presence of this account on my report is inaccurate, misleading, and completely unacceptable.

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). 

This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations. Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have called Experian XXXX times today to get access to my credit report in order to dispute information. I have called XXXX different numbers and every number sends me to the same computer system. I was told by the computer system that I do not have an account. When I try to start an account online to dispute the information I get a notification that I have an account and they need to send me a verification code to a phone number that is no longer in service and an email that my ex-wife only has access to. There is absolutely no other way to verify my information and the computer system refuses to connect me with a representative and also tells me that I do not have an account tied to my social and birthdate in order to update my profile. When I ask for a representative, the computer system tells me that only specific situations are allowed for transferring to a human representative. I need access to my report in order to dispute information. Experian needs to rectify this and give people an option to speak with a human for situations like this. I am unable to dispute or access my credit report through experian which is a viloation of my rights.
