Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
To Consumer Financial Protection Bureau I am submitting this complaint because my consumer report is showing unauthorized inquiries that I never applied for, never approved, and never gave any permissible purpose for. Under FCRA 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) and 604 ( f ) ( 1 ) no company is allowed to access or obtain my consumer report without my direct written authorization or a legally defined permissible purpose. These inquiries are harming my credit, damaging my score, and placing me at risk of identity misuse. I am requesting a full investigation, removal, and accountability for each furnisher listed below because these companies violated federal law by accessing my report without authority and failed their duty under FCRA 607 ( a ) to ensure maximum possible accuracy. I am asking CFPB to intervene because I already disputed and still the items remain. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Date : XX/XX/XXXX I never applied for any product with this company on this date and never authorized them to access my consumer report. This access was done without permissible purpose and directly violates FCRA 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), 604 ( f ) ( 1 ), and 607 ( a ). The inquiry is inaccurate, unauthorized, and must be removed.

Laws Violated : FCRA 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) No permissible purpose FCRA 604 ( f ) ( 1 ) Obtaining report without authorization FCRA 607 ( a ) Failure to ensure accuracy FCRA 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) Right to full disclosure FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Failure to correct inaccurate information upon dispute XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Date : XX/XX/XXXX I did not submit any application or grant written consent for this inquiry. This is an unauthorized pull and is causing credit harm. Accessing my report without my consent violates FCRA 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) because the company did not have a permissible purpose. It also violates 604 ( f ) ( 1 ) because no authorization was provided and 607 ( a ) because data must be reported with maximum possible accuracy and this inquiry is completely inaccurate.

Laws Violated : FCRA 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) No permissible purpose FCRA 604 ( f ) ( 1 ) Unauthorized access FCRA 607 ( a ) Accuracy requirement FCRA 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) Right to know who accessed my file FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Duty to remove inaccurate data after dispute I am requesting CFPB to require the furnisher and the credit bureaus to permanently delete these unauthorized inquiries, provide documentation proving permissible purpose if they claim any existed, and ensure compliance moving forward. I have no relationship with these creditors on the dates listed, I provided no consent, and these inquiries have damaged my credit standing in violation of multiple FCRA protections.

Complaint narrative:
Unauthorized access to my credit report by several companies has directly harmed both my credit and credit score. I previously contacted your agency and was assured by a representative that these unauthorized inquiries would be removed. That promise has not been fulfilled these inquiries still remain. This failure to act is completely unacceptable. The continued presence of these potentially fraudulent entries is highly alarming and strongly suggests possible identity theft. This unresolved issue is inflicting ongoing emotional and financial harm.

Complaint narrative:
You have reported inaccurate and unauthorized accounts on my credit report, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) requiring a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates maximum possible accuracy. These false entries are damaging and unjust, especially since Ive never opened or authorized these accounts.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

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.

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission identity theft affidavit. Please find it in your best interest to delete the items I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified.

15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report.

15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any.

information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.

15 U.S. Code 1681 Section B ( i ) - Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material - If a consumer reporting agency removes information from someone's credit file based on the requirements in the preceding section ( A ), the agency can not re-add or reinsert that previously deleted information back into the person 's file unless the entity that originally provided that information certifies that it is completeandaccurate.
