Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

State: MI

Complaint narrative:
Experian is reporting incorrect information on my consumer report. There are several account with inconsistencies from charge offs and late payments. Experian wont remove the information because they make money from selling consumers data they are listed on the stock exchange. I have previously asked that they verify this information and forward me the proof from that said investigation. Experian claims to have verified the information but did not send me any documents or evidence to the contrary. I have initiated arbitration and a lawsuit against Experian so this information should be removed until the litigation is done.
