Consumer complaint received 2019-12-18 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Unable to TEMPORARILY lift credit freeze with my PIN that I have have had and used several times in the past. It seems like there is some problem with their website. I have used this service in the past ( most recently a couple of months ago ) with same information and PIN successfully but this time it seems like there is a problem on their end because the page just gets stuck there but on the third try with a different browser, it told me that my information does not match and that I have to write them to lift the freeze. I DOUBLE CHECKED to make sure the information I am entering is correct by looking at my recent experian credit report and the page with the original PIN number that they mailed me several years ago. This is unacceptable and seems like there is a problem on their end. Let me explain in detail - I am using latest version of XXXX  with standard settings. The first 2 times I tried with XXXX after filling and submtting the information along with my PIN the page just stops there with the " wndow of death circle of death '' ( see the image attached ) and never redirects to the result page. When I tried to end the page and reload it said " Error Group 11 '' - this was the case with 2 tries from XXXX browser. Then I tried on the same laptop with XXXX browser and this time it took a while with the wheel window and then finally redirected me to the page saying that my information was not verifiable and that I have to write them to lift the freeze. Finally I tried on another desktop computer that I have used for experian freeze lift and after inputting my information, as in previous 2 instances with XXXX, the " window of circle '' popped up and never redirected to the result page after several minutes. Obviously, there seems to be some issue on their end probably server overload and ( being a XXXX XXXX ) whoever designed their webpage, should stop using the popup window of circle and instead redirect to a regular webpage to show whether or not the submission was successful. Either way, I should be able to do this online or by phone when the temporary lift is crucial for a short period and asking to write and wait for weeks to have this processed is not optimal. I just want to be able to lift freeze temporarily online especially since I have the PIN and have done this several times in the past. I want them to look at the website/system/servers and fix this issue. On their contact us page they have 4 options and with a phone number to get free credit reprot, they DO NOT HAVE THE PHONE NUMBER in the freeze area or a way to contact them regarding this.

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

Complaint narrative:
I applied for a credit card on XX/XX/2019, and was told by the credit card company that Experian had a credit freeze on my credit report. I logged into my account on the Experian website, and the website shows that there is no credit freeze on my account. 

I attempted to contact Experian by phone several times, but was unable to talk to a person to get this resolved, and was hung up by the automated machine every time. 

It is my opinion that Experian, and the other credit reporting agencies should be required to have live operators to answer phone calls in order to resolve issues like this. The information that Experian collects and shares, without my consent I will add, should be handled responsibly. The failure of this company to properly handle security freezes and credit locks has a negative financial effect on me personally, and on others that might encounter the same situation.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
For the past 2 years I have been settling accounts and fixing accounts. Every time I apply for a loan my score shows about 100 point difference from what fico says, I keep disputing things that are settled and the day I apply all my old stuff gets re-recorded as new delinquent. Then my credit gets ran 20 times. I believe an inside influence is being used to cause me to have adverse marks and to prevent me to have credit of reasonable standard. I watch my credit super close I keep getting told my score does not match my file. I need an investigation to determine whom is altering my credit. This is all 3 major credit bureaus and none of them match.
