Consumer complaint received 2023-07-10 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I have been engaged in a lengthy endeavor to challenge the presence of incorrect information on my credit report. As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I possess the right to dispute any inaccuracies that exist. In my pursuit, I have sent multiple dispute letters and reached out to the credit bureaus, given the multitude of names and addresses listed that are entirely erroneous. I have never been associated with these names before. I have provided legal documents such as my ID, proof of address, and social security details to establish my identity beyond doubt. Unfortunately, despite my efforts, the credit bureaus persist in misrepresenting this information. This situation poses difficulties when I apply for credit-based services and raises concerns about potential identity fraud. I also keep receiving letters/email responses from the bureaus delaying my disputing efforts simply because I choose to use a credit assistance service. It is my right to choose to dispute the information on my credit report in the manner I choose. They do not need proof of how I choose to dispute. They must simply follow through on their end to address the inaccuracies and correct them as legally obliged.

This is the second complaint Ive made regarding TransUnion credit freeze being impossible to put on hold for a few days ( unfreezing temporarily ) in order to apply for credit. It is still impossible to reach an agent by phone within a reasonable time of 30 minutes hold time, and it is impossible to do it on the website because they take so long to send a two factor authentication email that it times out, or else the website hangs and says they are experiencing problems. Please escalate this issue.

Complaint narrative:
I use Venmo quite often as a way to get paid. I had a balance in the account and after a while my account was randomly frozen because I violated their user agreement. They never disclosed what exactly I did to violate their user agreement and I was never aware of any activity with my account that would cause this. I was unable to transfer the funds out of the account until I spoke with representatives. Even after I opened a case with them it took at least a week to get the funds transferred out of my account. As of now they have told me my account is permanently deactivated and I can not use Venmo again. Again, they never disclosed what happened to flag their system or any other necessary information.
