Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> Experian began a recurring charge of {$16.00} for a service I did not order. I began trying to call them but could never get past their automated system to speak to a human. I did file a dispute with the credit card company but could not resolve. I went to Experian 's website and even though I supposedly ordered a service apparently online, I still had to create a new login. The website did not show that I had an account. I sent an email on XX/XX/XXXX to their customer service but did not receive a response. This is what I sent via email. 
From : XXXX To : XXXX Mon, XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX You have been charging me {$16.00} for the last 4 months on my XXXX XXXX XXXX for Experian Credit Report. I did not authorize this charge, nor have I received any kind of feedback from this monthly charge. I tried to call you but just got a machine that liked to play a lot of keyboard type clicks in the hope that the person on the other end would hang up. I have reported you to the Federal Trade Commission. You used to be a reputable company but apparently not anymore. 

XXXX XXXX They went on to charge me again on XX/XX/XXXX and then I blocked them from my card. To date they have collected {$81.00} for a service I did not order and did not gain any benefit from.

Complaint narrative:
" I am addressing the issue with regarding the noncompliance. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not, that is considered identity theft.

As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly under 15 U.S.C. 1681n, there exists statutory civil liability for willful noncompliance. This provision stipulates that any person who willfully fails to comply with consumer protection requirements may be liable to the affected consumer for damages, including potential punitive measures and reimbursement of legal costs. This underscores the importance of addressing and rectifying this matter promptly and responsibly.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Received unsolicited financial product or insurance offers after opting out
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
Following a recent mortgage application, I have received an overwhelming and persistent number of unsolicited communications from mortgage lenders and brokers I have never interacted with. These began within hours of my credit being pulled and have continued for months, often occurring at all hours of the day and night including robocalls with no ability to speak to a live representative or request removal. 

After investigating the source of these contacts, I discovered that my personal credit activity was sold through a process known as a " trigger lead '' by a credit bureau or data broker without my knowledge or consent. I believe this practice constitutes a serious violation of consumer privacy, and is completely unjust in today 's data-driven world. 

Selling someones private credit data for the financial benefit of a large corporate entity is unethical and exploitative. While I have since learned how to opt out of trigger leads, and have completed the opt-out process, it has not stopped the calls. More importantly, this is not a widely known or disclosed practice, and it should never have been the default. 

In todays digital age, if a consumer wants to receive offers or shop around, they can easily research their own lending options. But the current system does the opposite : every American who has their credit pulled for a mortgage is automatically subjected to harassment, unless they happen to know how to remove themselves something most people dont. 

This is fundamentally anti-consumer, and I believe the practice should be examined under a stricter interpretation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).
