Consumer complaint received 2025-05-15 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint because I have been attempting to delete or permanently close my free Experian account and have encountered multiple obstacles. Experian does not provide a clear or accessible method for consumers with free accounts to delete or deactivate their accounts through their website or app. Additionally, there is no live customer service option available to users with free accounts, and all attempts to get support have either been met with automated responses or referrals to phone lines that do not provide assistance unless you have a paid subscription.

I am deeply concerned about the lack of transparency and accessibility in Experians account management practices. As a consumer, I should have the right to control my personal information and have the ability to close accounts tied to my personal data if I no longer wish to use the service. However, Experian is making it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to exercise this right, which I believe is an unfair business practice and potentially a violation of data privacy rights. 

I am requesting that Experian provide me with a clear and direct method to close and delete my free account and confirm that this has been done. I also request that the CFPB review Experians practices regarding account deletion for free users, as this seems to be a systemic issue impacting many consumers. Companies should not make it deliberately hard to close an account, especially when that account contains sensitive personal and credit information.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute certain negative entries currently listed on my credit report. Despite multiple requests and the submission of all necessary supporting documents, these inaccuracies have not been properly addressed. My repeated follow-ups have been met with little to no action, and the continued presence of these errors has caused significant financial and emotional stress. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the legal right to an accurate and verifiable credit report. I am requesting that you take immediate and thorough steps to investigate and correct these items. Failure to resolve them in a timely manner would constitute a violation of my rights under federal law.

Company: Radius Global Solutions LLC
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I mailed a written dispute to Radius Global Solutions regarding a debt they reported on my credit report. I used certified mail and have confirmation that the letter was delivered and signed for on XX/XX/year>. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), they are required to respond to a consumer dispute within 30 days of receipt. As of today, I have not received any response or validation of the debt. They failed to meet the legal deadline, and the account is still being reported on my credit file without verification and negatively impacting my credit. Since receiving my dispute letter, they have not responded to it and continue to call me excessively attempting to retrieve debt they fail to validate. I am beyond frustrated. I am filing this complaint because Radius Global Solutions has not complied with the FCRA requirements and continue to be an annoyance while ignoring my legal efforts.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.
