Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

Complaint narrative:
in XX/XX/year> I received an email from Citibank to be on the look out for my annual membership dues bill. I logged into Citibank and enrolled in autopay to pay this annual member ship fee. Today, I received another bill for XXXX remaining plus a XXXX Cent Fee charge. It is my understanding that a " membership fee '' is something one pays all at once and this would be my sole amount due on my account. 

It is an unfair practice for Citibank to now call this a " balance '' vs. member ship fee. They broke it into two different charges and only took the " minimum '' balance from that " membership fee '' and moved another XXXX over to the next month so they can collect XXXX cents in " fees. '' UNFAIR

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It XXXX Concern, I am writing to formally address my concerns regarding Experians failure to properly investigate my previous complaint and the resulting detrimental damage to my credit. I have repeatedly attempted to resolve this issue, but it has become clear that Experian has not conducted a thorough and accurate investigation into the discrepancies on my credit report.

As a result of your inaction and mishandling, my credit score has been negatively impacted, and my personal information has been improperly shared with unauthorized entities. This is not the first time such a breach has occurred, and it has caused significant harm to my credit standing.

Furthermore, I have discovered that there are entities listed on my credit report with whom I have never done business, further highlighting the inaccuracies and lack of proper diligence in your reporting process.

I am requesting the immediate removal of these erroneous entries, and I demand that Experian fully investigates and corrects the inaccurate information that has been damaging my credit and exposing my personal data. I expect a prompt resolution to this matter and a confirmation of the actions taken to resolve these issues. 

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to your timely response.

Conducting sham investigations that fail to properly address consumer disputes : When handling disputes, Experian uses faulty intake procedures and does not accurately convey all relevant information about disputes to the original furnisher. Experian routinely and uncritically accepts the original furnishers response to the disputed information, even when that response was improbable or illogical on its face, or when Experian has other information available that suggests the furnisher is unreliable. At the conclusion of the investigation, Experian sends consumers notices that fail to inform them of the investigation results, and instead provides information that is confusing, ambiguous, incorrect, or internally inconsistent.
