Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I'm writing to dispute inaccurate personal information that's currently being reported on my credit file. After reviewing my report, I noticed that some of the details under my personal information section including name variation ( XXXX ), addresses, or possibly even employment data are incorrect and not associated with me. 

Let me be clear : I dont live at those addresses, I never used those name variations, and if theres employment or other identifying information listed that doesnt match up with my actual history, then it should have never been there in the first place. This kind of inaccurate personal information is not only misleading, its affecting how my report is matched with accounts, and it opens the door to errors, confusion, or worse identity mix-ups.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I have an active security freeze with Experian, but I have been unable to access my online account to manage it. 

When I enter my Social Security number and date of birth, the Experian website and mobile app both return an error saying my information can not be verified. I have tried multiple times using different browsers and devices since XX/XX/year>. 

I also called XXXX support line several times, but the automated system never connects me to a representative. I have not received any help or response. 

I simply need to access my account to manage my existing security freeze. I am requesting that Experian verify my identity and provide clear instructions or credentials so that I can log in or manage my account online. 

Please ensure Experian responds promptly to resolve this access issue.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
Experian and Equifax has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit R Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian and Equifax, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian and Equifax has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian and Equifax inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Law Firm Representing Them : XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) Attorney : XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Bar # XXXX ) The debt collector and its law firm continued collection actions and filed a lawsuit in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX ( Case No. XXXX ). 
They sent a process server to my home even after I filed my Answer on XX/XX/year>, which was accepted by the court and sent as a courtesy copy to the Plaintiffs attorney.

The process server made repeated visits on XX/XX/XXXX and again on XX/XX/XXXX, despite the active case and my prior notice of a safety concern.

I also have an active fraud alert on my credit file, and Midland Credit Management continues to report this same account as late to the credit bureaus while the matter is under legal dispute.

I am filing this complaint to request investigation into the continued collection activity and credit reporting during litigation. I will also notify the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, the XXXX court, and Plaintiffs counsel of this filing, as they have already received copies of my Answer, Safety Concern, and Documentation of continued process service.

Company: CL Holdings LLC
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I've had a XXXX XXXX account for over 20 years and still use the same phone number. Around XXXX 2025, I noticed a collection item on my previously perfect credit report. I believe it first appeared on XXXX, but I didnt pay much attention to it at the time. 

Later, I learned the collection was related to a XXXX account. This was troubling because my XXXX account is active and in excellent standing. After reaching out to XXXX, they confirmed that my account is indeed in good standing. I communicated this to all three credit bureaus and successfully had the information updated on XXXX and XXXX 

However, as of today, XXXX still reports a collection of over XXXX through a third-party agency, which is incorrect. I recently applied for credit and was informed last week that this item is still showing on my XXXX report. I assumed it would have been removed by now, especially since the other two bureaus corrected it immediately. 

XXXX has added a statement indicating that the consumer disputes the item, but I need it fully removed because I do not owe any debt.
