Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute a fraudulent collection account added to my credit report by XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. Recently, I contacted XXXX to dispute this collection ; however, I was only able to add a fraud alert due to the automated system. The automated voice system disconnected my call several times, preventing me from speaking with a live representative to resolve this issue. 

This collection account is fraudulent and should be removed from my credit report immediately. I filed a complaint with XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX regarding this account, as it was opened as a result of identity theft. After reviewing the evidence I provided, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX agreed that my claim of fraud was valid. They confirmed in writing that they would remove the tradeline from my credit report. 

Despite this agreement, I now see that both XXXX and TransUnion have added this account as a derogatory item on my credit file. Based on this trend, I anticipate that XXXX will likely add the account as well, which will further harm my credit standing. 

I have saved the letter from XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX as proof that they acknowledged the fraud and agreed to remove the collection account. I expect XXXX to follow through on this agreement and remove the derogatory account from my credit file immediately upon receipt of this complaint.

To whom it may concern, This is my third letter requesting that the inaccuracies in the accounts listed on my credit report be corrected. The credit reporting agencies have failed to remove these items, and each time I receive confirmation, the issues are either not resolved or have worsened. This clearly demonstrates that the agencies are not conducting the precise investigations that the law mandates.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Experian for allowing multiple unauthorized inquiries to appear on my credit report. After contacting both Experian and the creditors responsible for these inquiries, none could provide proof that I authorized them. Specifically, I did not give any written or verbal consent for these inquiries, and no legitimate purpose has been confirmed. The unauthorized inquiries in question are : XXXX. XXXX XXXX, Date : XX/XX/year> XXXX. XXXX XXXX, Date : XX/XX/year> XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, Date : XX/XX/year> These inquiries have had a negative impact on my credit history and have limited my ability to obtain credit. Since I did not authorize these inquiries, there is a concern regarding potential misuse or misrepresentation of my personal information. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), only inquiries with an explicit, permissible purpose should appear on a consumer 's credit report. Failure to verify proper authorization may indicate non-compliance with these regulations.I request the CFPBs assistance in ensuring that Experian promptly removes these unauthorized inquiries from my credit report. Additionally, I ask that the CFPB investigate these circumstances to prevent any potential misuse of consumer information that could lead to unauthorized or misrepresented credit inquiries in the future.
