Consumer complaint received 2024-08-19 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Despite my repeated attempts to address serious issues concerning my credit report, I have yet to receive any acknowledgment or resolution from your office, TRANSUNION, XXXX, XXXX I am currently a victim of identity theft, which has resulted in unauthorized accounts being opened in my name and subsequently reported on my credit file. Additionally, I have noticed collections appearing on my report that I did not authorize. These inaccuracies are significantly affecting my credit standing and causing me considerable distress. 

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) entitles me to a prompt and thorough investigation of any disputed information on my credit report. Your continued failure to respond not only violates these rights but also exacerbates the financial and emotional toll of the identity theft I am experiencing.
