Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Product: Prepaid card — General-purpose prepaid card
Issue: Trouble using the card — Trouble getting information about the card
Company: Blackhawk Network Holdings Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I am part of the XXXX data breach. I received a {$40.00} gift card in 2023 that I had to claim at myprepaidcardcenter.com. I claimed the card and tried to use it at XXXX but could not. I contacted myprepaidcardcenter and asked them to reset the card 's password so that I could log in. They refused and now block any attempt to send password resets or log into the account. They are demanding I give them my government ID. I refuse to give these people my ID for a prepaid gift card that I received from the administrator. I just received a second payment of {$14.00} and just tried to login using the code and I can't because they have my IP blocked. I can not get a password reset, I can not get a retrieval link. I can not reset my password. So, they basically have over {$50.00} of my money that I can not access and they won't assist with a password reset and because they've blocked my account anytime I try to reset my password again by entering the credentials I have for the account I can't even do that. Either help me reset my password or unlock my account so that I can reset the password myself. This has been going on for over a year. I need assistance.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I disputed several accusations on my Experian credit report. I asked collection accounts to provide any contact with my signature and chain of custody of the debts. I asked other accounts to provide any contact with my signature. I demanded the removal of those false accusations be removed from my credit reports, if they could not produce those contracts. Not a single company was able to produce a contract with my signature. Experian chose to allow these false and defamatory claims to remain on my credit reports. This causes a hardship for me. I think it is illegal. 

For accuracy, I should say that I disputed the false accounts again recently. If you get a response saying they are still under dispute, that's deceptive. I have disputed these accounts several times and Experian always lets them remain. The companies never produce a contract, because I never opened any of them.
