Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this new case regarding incorrect information on my credit file. I had submitted a case regarding this issue almost 2 years ago ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ) under case XXXX. There were additional cases opened ( XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ) all regarding this matter that transpired from XXXX/XXXX/XXXX through XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. This debt was never validated by the company. They also failed to send me proof that this was valid. I requested numerous times that this issue be resolved and the collection agency continued with harassing phone calls in an attempt to collect this {$140.00} debt. I was under the impression that this issue was resolved in XXXX, however it appears that in XXXX of XXXX, XXXX added this collection account back to my credit report. This needs to be removed and not allowed to be added back to my account. 
Please assist in resolving this issue. I am attaching the original letter sent to XXXX and a copy of the collection account on my credit report.

Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation — Problem with statement of dispute
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, after learning of an erroneous collections notice on my credit report from my mortgage broker, I filed a dispute with Experian. The incorrect collection notice was for medical expenses originated by XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX for services received in Oklahoma. I have never visited Oklahoma, let alone received medical treatment there. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received notice from Experian via E-mail that the dispute investigation was complete and the erroneous information remained. When I followed up by phone on XX/XX/XXXX, to ask why the error was still on my account, I was XXXX told by the Experian operator ( XXXX? ), that the creditor confirmed it was me ( impossible since I have never even been to the state or am in any way remotely connected with Oklahoma ). However, upon further investigation by the Experian operator, it was determined this dispute was inexplicably cancelled on XX/XX/XXXX, thus automatically triggering a notice to me of the egregiously incorrect information remaining on my file. The Experian Operator could not identify who cancelled my dispute or why. During that call, the Experian operator re-opened my dispute and provided me with contact information for the creditor. Adding insult to injury, the contact information from Experian for the creditor ( XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ph XXXX ) leads me to a disconnected telephone number. I happen to have known this number was disconnected in XX/XX/XXXX ( prior to receiving my results from Experian ) because I tried calling them when I XXXX learned of the error on my XXXX credit report. 
My concern is Experian did not exercise proper diligence in their initial review of my dispute ( it is currently being re-disputed ). Because of this incorrect information remaining on my report, my credit score on Experian fell from XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ) to XXXX ( present ) - a fall of more than XXXX points. In contrast, XXXX removed the erroneous information from my file in XXXX business day. Experian 's failure to effectively review and remove the incorrect information is also striking in light of its clear inconsistency with all the other information on my report. What 's worse, I PAY Experian to receive credit report updates! I 'd hope Experian would have a higher standard since I pay them for services. To the contrary, this has been personally damaging and frustrating. It adversely effects me and my young family. My hope is the government holds Experian and other credit bureaus ' feet to the fire when it comes to allowing damaging and inaccurate information on credit reports.

Complaint narrative:
I found a XXXX XXXX '' account on my credit report in the amount of {$170.00}, Account No. XXXX. It was opened XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and reported to my credit XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. 

I did not go to XXXX or take my adult son there in XXXX or XXXX or any other time. I also never signed anything giving anyone permission to take my son there so this could not be my bill. 

I have repeatedly requested verification of this account being mine from XXXX, Experian and XXXX. I have never received any verification from them because this account does NOT belong to me. They either entered information incorrectly or someone used my name. I dispute this information. This is NOT my bill. 

I am also unable to find out exactly who I supposedly owe this too. I live in XXXX and have XXXX this place in XXXX and sent letters to any addresses I could find.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, 2016 I became aware that I was apparently a victim of identity theft. I have filed multiple cases for both the individual creditor 's and all XXXX credit reporting companies one of which was Experian. As of this morning, there are still ( XXXX ) accounts and ( XXXX ) previous addresses associated with these accounts that are still reporting on my credit file. While I have mailed, uploaded my identification documents and even faxed my documents to the Fraud department for Experian, as of yesterday I am still being told from the Experian Fraud department that they need to have my identification to properly dispute these final items. I have spoken to these ( XXXX ) creditor 's and they have all assured me that my information does not match the information they have on file for these accounts and that I should dispute these accounts with all XXXX reporting companies. At this juncture, I have already have these accounts removed from XXXX and XXXX and am trying again to have Experian dispute these as fraudulent in hopes that it will finally be removed from my file. Please take the necessary steps to re-dispute these accounts along with the personal information associated accordingly.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX/XXXX/2016 I XXXX XXXX sent Experian via fax an Identity Theft Report stating that there were items on my credit report that were due to Identity Theft, along with identifying documentation, I stated clearly that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I demanded an Identify theft block in writing. FCRA 605B ( a ) Block. Except as otherwise provided in this section, 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 by such agency of -- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report ; ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer ; and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I reported the alleged Identity Theft to the FTC and forwarded to the CRA this report and Affidavit. I spoke with local police and was informed that they did not have jurisdiction since these transactions happened online and in some cases in a foreign countries. I was not allowed to file a police report. I received a letter from the CRA stating that they were doing a standard reinvestigation of the accounts. They have no basis to do this. The CRA has locked me out of my credit report even though as a victim of Identity theft I have a legal right to my report. They are in clear violation of the FRCA and a simple google search will show that they routinely deny consumers there rights under federal law.
