Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

In the course of the last few weeks I attempted to obtain a free credit report by Experian. 
After entering all the info required, and hitting " proceed '', an error message would appear that would tell me to call their customer service to speak with a customer service representative I proceeded to call and an automated attendant would respond, that would do the following : XXXX either take me through questions and at the end refer me to their online help page, that would then take me back to request the free credit report as I had already done, hence receiving the same error message that would tell me to call customer service and speak to a customer service representative XXXX or switch me to a recording saying we are unable to connect you to a live rep. 

Mind the above following an error message generated by their own platform, stating that there was a problem on their side, not mine, and that I should call customer service to speak with a rep.
