Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year> On or about XX/XX/year>, I reached out to Experian regarding the fraudulent activity on my account, specifically regarding the unauthorized opening of an account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/year>. I promptly notified XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX of this fraudulent activity, urging them to close the unauthorized account and remove my information from their records. 

Despite my efforts, my credit score, as reported by Experian, has decreased from XXXX to XXXX as of today, falsely indicating that the unauthorized account was closed by the creditor on XX/XX/scrub>XXXX XXXX XXXX  This is inaccurate, as I had no involvement in any changes to my credit profile and consistently maintain timely bill payments. 

Given that I have diligently upheld a higher credit score throughout the year, I demand that my credit be adjusted accordingly. This discrepancy is particularly concerning as I am currently in the process of purchasing a home and require a credit score of XXXX or above to secure a lower interest rate. 

The disparity in Experian 's responsiveness, being slow to raise my score yet quick to lower it, is discriminatory. I urge for this complaint to be escalated to management for resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I received a credit limit of around XXXX XXXX  I made a payment of total balance the first month of about XXXX XXXX ( payment was made XX/XX/XXXX ). Aside from the payment process taking 7-10 business days to process ( which they claimed was due to the large amount ), they froze the card and now I cant use it for 7-10 business days. I asked the person XXXX XXXX ) and he simply said its just an internal process. 
I asked him if I make a payment every month like this will the card not work for 7-10 business days every month? He responded yes, due to size of payments, its just an internal process. 
When I asked to speak to a manager, I was simply hung up on. The conservation with the credit card company was on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 
This smells fraudulent and just an attempt to limit ones ability to use the card.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
About a year ago my personal data appeared on the dark web due to a data breach with my health insurance exchange. I placed a fraud alert on my credit at XXXX and contacted all three credit bureaus to also freeze my credit. I had no problem with XXXX and XXXX it takes LITERALLY under a minute to check whether your credit is frozen at either of those two ( try it! ) but Experians website wouldnt allow me to freeze my credit. It gave me an error message every time I tried to log in. I contacted their customer support and every human being I spoke to said they couldnt help me and redirected me to someone else who said the same thing. I finally got someone who would place a freeze on my credit again, this is something that the other credit unions allow consumers to do in less than a minute on their websites. In late XXXX of this year, probably around XX/XX/XXXX, I wanted to lift the freeze in order to do a background check for a job. I again was easily able to lift the freeze at XXXX and XXXX and once again the Experian website would not let me log in or otherwise check the status of the freeze. I once again called their customer support and once again got the ring around the XXXX until I finally got to a human being who said there was no freeze on my credit after all! This is terrifying given that all my personal information is on the dark web and Id been walking around without my credit frozen for almost a year. I had to wait to re freeze it anyway for this background check, so I waited until the employer finished their due diligence and now Im eager to get my credit frozen again. ONCE AGAIN, I cant log into Experians website. Once again, I find myself tangled in Experian customer support endless web of automated menus. I cant just call and verify my identity ; it forces me to verify my identity and then for whatever reason I have to talk to a customer service rep before I can freeze my credit. This is an enormous waste of time. I finally talked to someone who said that my credit has in fact been frozen since XX/XX/year>, which makes no sense because the entire point of my call in XXXX was for me to tell them to LIFT the freeze. Experian is one of three credit bureaus that were held hostage by. I cant just freeze my credit at one agency ; it has to be all three. When my personal identity and financial security is in the hands of a company that has neither a properly functioning website nor competent customer service, I am completely defenseless to attempts to steal my identity. I dont understand how Experian is one of three agencies that were required BY LAW to be reported by when they can not perform the most basic tasks like freezing my credit or letting me log in to my profile.

Complaint narrative:
I use XXXX credit monitoring service. I received an alert that Capitol One had made a " hard inquiry '' on my credit report. This is not something I did so I called Capital One. Capitol One refusing to provide any information about why did this. Did someone open a credit card in my name or fraudulently apply for a loan? I would like to know and they will not give me any information because I " don't have an account. '' It's absurd. They are facilitating identity theft and fraud. 

Per my report : Lender : CAPITAL ONE Inquiry date : XX/XX/year> I have no understanding as to why they won't give me information about why this inquiry was made.
