Complaint narrative:
I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Two years ago i was the victim of Identity Theft. I placed alerts with all three bureaus. Over time, multiple accounts with balances owed started appearing due to the ID Theft. XXXX and XXXX were great and quickly resolved the issues. I have had nothing but issues with Experian. There are almost 30 inquiries and a collections account waypoint. Ive disputed it over and over and the company certifies the information as accurate and Experian leaves it at that. Ive talked to the collection agency and its from utilities that were opened in my name at an address that I have never been associated with in a town Ive never been associated with. Different phone number everything. So I cant understand why information would be certified and why Experian would think its correct. Whats worse is I was in the middle of getting an auto loan and the fraud alert caused issues. I made attempts to remove it with Experian and they fought me and made the process extremely difficult. So they wont let me remove a fraud alert but fail to take action with it being on my report. This collections accounts and inquiries were removed by the other bureaus and my score with them is almost XXXX points higher than it is with Experian
