State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Because Experian does not include all of my extensive credit history, I have been denied loans, credit cards, and credit increases at inconvenient times. Experian only has one of my credit cards ( which is under my XXXX XXXX account ). I sent them a letter in XX/XX/XXXX, inquiring why they did not have my credit history. They told me that I needed to contact each of my creditors and ask them to report to Experian. I have been denied by XXXX XXXX who uses Experian to check my credit, but does NOT report to them. I wrote to them and asked them to report to Experian. It never transpired. In XXXX, I had the exact same experience with XXXX. They do not report my credit to Experian yet they use Experian to determine my credit-worthiness. I have XXXX credit cards and XXXX loans in my name. Including a home loan and a car loan. I just paid off XXXX of my car loans. All of my accounts are in good standing. My concern is that Experian is ransoming my credit-worthiness. They want me to succumb to their subscription services. I can not get a re-finance on my home loan when Experian is the reporting agency. Even my home loan is not on their report. I CAN NOT force my creditors to report to them and I CAN NOT force them to use other reporting agencies. I am in a bind. It feels like ransom or some other form of illegal activity. Today I was denied for an XXXX XXXX XXXX card because they used Experian. I have an XXXX store card since the XXXXXXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
The company reported incorrectly to the credit bureaus my balance since XXXX XXXX. I filed a dispute with XXXX, and they replied on XXXX the same incorrect balance they have reported. I made a payment on XXXX for {$200.00} and they have failed to report it since that date. I spoke with XXXX from Nordstrom card Services, and she acknowledged the error but said they do not do off cycle reporting so they can not do anything on their end and I should do another dispute with the Credit Bureaus or wait until the next reporting date XXXX. When I asked how is appropriate for me to be penalized when they made error, and it is my responsibility to file another dispute and " hope '' this time they report the correct balance? This is fraudulent behavior and impacts the card users ' credit ( not only balance error but showing I missed a payment at this time as well, which I did not ) and I am assuming I am not the only person this is happening to. As the consumer we rely on the card companies to report correct information, and it should not be our responsibility to correct an impactful error on their part and they can just wipe their hands clean of it.
