Complaint narrative:
XXXX has cancelled my auto policy, so I am shopping for new insurance. My broker went to get a quote and was surprised at the pricing. He pulled the LexisNexus report being used to rate my risk, and an accident from XXXX is showing as at-fault. 

I called XXXX to find out why they submitted an at fault, and they show that they did NOT. I have that in writing from them. The car was parked and vacant ; someone else backed into it, and XXXX is being reimbursed by that person 's carrier.

I have previously seen other people 's info on my Lexis and tried to have it corrected, and they make it impossible to do anything. If they are going to be used as a credit agency, there should be an easy, accessible way for owners to file for corrections. This is the second time incorrect info from Lexis has impacted me ; it was never resolved the first time. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX
