Consumer complaint received 2023-01-02 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
Late last year in XXXX I heard about a company named XXXX, an App that could assist you with increasing your credit score. At the time I was looking for products to do just that, I debated for a bit because this particular company requires a down payment. Eventually I went ahead and moved forward I signed up and gave a security deposit of {$150.00}, the idea is you are borrowing against your own money and they report it as a trade line to the bureaus to assist with your credit. Everything was okay at first until one day my bank account which must be synced was disconnected. XXXX has essentially poor communication with their customers, I found this out when the issues raised. Due to the lack of real communication and explanation of why my account would disconnect or why I wouldnt be able to log in at times payments would have issues because the only way to make payment would be via autopay with synced account, or through the app to my knowledge. XXXX started to report me to the bureaus for late payments in the midst of me emailing them for assistance to get access to my account to make payments. They have virtually no response to emails outside of copy paste, their number doesnt give live agent access. If you dispute them with the bureaus you get no response from this creditor they just respond to the bureaus again with inaccuracies, The bureaus keep allowing them to report inaccurate information even when I provided proof. I even reported them to XXXX  and they were dishonest about following up with me repeatedly. Fast forward to this month they took {$120.00} from my bank after reporting my account as a charge off and still not responding to my correspondences. No explanation, my account is now paid in full and they refuse to update the bureaus with accurate information that the account is paid in full they refuse to delete the accounts from the bureaus and they refuse to return the security deposit. I dispute this with the bureaus and provided proof that they are indeed not reporting correctly and the bureaus still wont correct the information and are allowing inaccurate information to be reported! After doing research I should have done from the beginning I realized I am not the first customer to experience this with this company or the bureaus in relation to this company! They have ruined my credit history, essentially stole my money and at this time seem illegitimate. So I am reporting them in hopes that they stop this poor practice of false reporting and not communicating, or validation of the information they send. The bureaus are investigation must be more thorough to determine what is legitimate and what is not this is unacceptable.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction bynthe consumer. I submtted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information was affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as XXXX 's XXXX date breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.
