Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
I gave another try calling to Experian last Tuesday ( XX/XX/2022 ). I call credit bureau every week to follow up and make sure my case being updated. I did not have a pleasant talk/follow up with Experian. I have been transferred for 6 times, to six different department. On the fifth department, this guy still wanted to transfer me to another department, but instead of transferring directly to the department, they are more like general line. So I had to repeat everything again, telling what's the issue and why I were here. That's okay.

Then the 6th agent asked me when were the suitable time to call me back. Everytime, every single time when they could not solve any problem they will come out with this solution. Being said like someone will call me at A.M within 24 hours to 3 days, but none of them from Experian actually called me. And went I next made a call back, the case is " being resolved '' without update. Unfortunately, " being resolved '' is not like the problem is solved, they are more like closing this case without really taking the action. Then I spoke to this guy saying this is not a method to help out, because I have being told to wait for a call since XXXX. Could he actually come out with any other options to solve this? And this guy just hung my call. 

Being imagine, you have being transferred for 6th time, you were on a call for 1.5 hours, and you call multiple times due to transfer back to general line. I have literally sat there just to call for a solution with them for 3 hours a day. It just cant get thing solve.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX changed from XXXXXXXX XXXX in XXXX. Since that time there have been several internal errors that resulted in lates on my account ( number ending in XXXX ). 

My payments were automatically deducted from my bank account. But during their change over, in XXXX of XXXX, they did not remover the payment until AFTER the due date. 

In XXXX of XXXX, I contacted the bank BEFORE my due date and they agreed to defer three payments on the account due to covid. Once again, they did not put this on the account properly and a third late payment was posted. 

Finally, in XXXX of XXXX, the bank raised my escrow amount but failed to notify me. This left my automatically deducted payment, {$500.00} short and resulted in another late payment reported. This was NOT my error. 

I have spoken to XXXX XXXX in the banks ' accounting and reporting department along with a supervisor ( first name XXXX XXXX. They agreed to remove these delinquencies from XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX of XXXX ... but apparently updating on their system does not update the bureau records. 

Please remove these three delinquencies from my record from XXXX Bank or delete this item from my file.
