Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
In 2022 a person by the name of XXXX XXXX used my social security number without my knowledge in order to get XXXX XXXX to open an account at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX TX. She did not pay her bill and owes {$380.00} according to XXXX XXXX XXXX debt collection services. After verifying that the account is indeed fraudulent with XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX, Experian has refused to remove the address of this person and has refused to remove the debt. I have submitted police reports from XXXX XXXX here in Texas which are available via public record. I have submitted the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau case with XXXX XXXX XXXX. I also submitted an email via XXXX XXXX XXXX confirming that this is indeed fraud and should be removed from my account. Experian has replied that my police report doesn't look valid even though it has come directly from the XXXX XXXX Sherriff 's department and will not acknowledge that XXXX XXXX XXXX has stated that the debt is fraudulent and not mine. I have spoken with numerous people from the fraud department to remove the debt and after following all of the requested protocol, the debt and fraudulent address. I have done everything that has been asked of me and have more than proven my residence and identity. I need the fraudulent debt to be removed as I have requested, XXXX XXXX XXXX has requested, and XXXX XXXX has requested. Thank you!

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute several hard inquiries that appear on my Transunion credit report. These inquiries are unverified, and I did not authorize any of them. As such, I request that they be removed from my credit report immediately, in accordance with my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX I called in to Transunion and spoke with a supervisor, XXXX, on XX/XX/XXXX. He confirmed that they had received my complaint/dispute and all of the documents through CFPB, but said he would have to submit the dispute again because of something about it not meeting their " fraud block criteria ''. When I asked him what those criteria were, he informed me that he couldn't tell me that information. He said he can resubmit the dispute for me again, took my information, and then said it should update ( and be deleted ) in about 1-2 business days. I then called again on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke with another representative who said that the dispute has been filed again and inquiries/info sent to the credit card companies as of yesterday, and that there is no timeline for when it will be updated. So Transunion is telling me different messages and refusing to delete the unauthorized inquiries immediately.

Complaint narrative:
My account with was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported in 60 days to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
