My husband applied for a card with American Express. They could not approve instantly, which is fine. However, they started calling the house six times yesterday and four times so far today. ( XXXX and XXXX ) Each time I told them he is out of town until Monday and asked them to stop calling. They refuse, claiming their automated system wont let them stop the calls. It has escalated to the point of harassment, they know he is not here and when to reach him. They have woken my son eight out of those ten calls. Im at my wits end and they say they can do nothing.

Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to dispute the inclusion of inaccurate and unauthorized information in my credit report. Specifically, I am concerned about the addition of temporary employment and incorrect addresses without my permission. 

The inclusion of temporary employment on my credit report is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Section 607 ( a ) ( 3 ) ( B ), which requires that credit reporting agencies ensure that the information they include in credit reports is accurate and up-to-date. The addition of temporary employment has no bearing on my creditworthiness and is irrelevant to my creditworthiness evaluation. 

Additionally, the inclusion of incorrect addresses is a violation of the FCRA under Section 607 ( b ), which requires that credit reporting agencies maintain reasonable procedures to ensure that the information they report is accurate. The inclusion of incorrect addresses can negatively impact my credit score and can potentially lead to identity theft. 

I demand that the credit bureau remove all inaccurate and unauthorized information from my credit report immediately. Furthermore, I demand that you provide me with an updated credit report after the change is made. 

I expect a prompt response from you in accordance with the FCRA. If I do not receive a satisfactory response from you within 30 days, I will pursue all legal remedies available to me. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
The Children 's Place Credit card and Comenity Bank is violating my rights ( 15 usc 6802 a, b ) by checking my credit report on several occasions and decreasing my credit limit which cause late payments and interest fees on my account. They never sent out any adverse action letters to me to explain why they decreased my credit. They are currently reporting me as late to the credit bureau trying to make a hard inquiry on my credit report for an increase. I do not have access to my transaction history of my whole account and when I called to request the detailed history and my credit card number and the customer service rep XXXX # XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX told me I had to request it in writing. Why would I need to send a letter for my whole transaction history when I verified who I was and spoke with them regarding my account just to tell me I have to write a letter. They are refusing to give my credit card number over the phone to submit complaint. They didn't write a letter to me when they checked my credit several times without my knowledge. They refused to send me a new expedited card in mail after reporting it stolen. Also the dates the credit was decreased does not reflect the dates they removed the credit from me on my statements. They are defrauding people decreasing credit just to do a hard inquiry to give the credit back when they ask for an increase. I would not have to get another hard inquiry for an increase if they never took it away in the first place.
